Matt Kennedy
Together At 2am Ep
Album AU 2013 on Short Black Records label
Dance (Deep House, Techno, House)
Short Black, Melbourne's newest label, fires out of the blocks with Matt Kennedy's Together at 2am. Put together as part of his final year at university, the sample-heavy EP draws on old records discovered in Melbourne's various record shops. The A-side sees Kennedy pushing a gentle contemporary sound, with the pastel-streaked title track. Its tribal drums and hypnotic chords are the stuff of dancefloor bliss. "Nesting" dials back the tempo, cruising lazily through a forest of bells and fleeting vocals. On the B-side, a more traditional, American-influenced sound takes hold. Here, Larry Heard's legacy is audible in the warm bounce of "Blue Eyes," where a blocky bassline provides most of the propulsion. "Taking Flack" nods to Detroit's house scene, funky bass licks and disco synths combining for a dancefloor number that's as sweet as honey. This side is about Kennedy paying tribute to his musical heroes, but the result is wholly his own.
