Live Review: LISTEN: Mat Cant Triple J Mix-Up Exclusive

“REWIIIIIIIIIIIIND!” That is what you'll be screaming in your head the minute you press that giant, orange play button on MAT CANT's latest Soundcloud mix up.

The Melbourne DJ and producer was initially asked to direct the mash for the Nina Las Vegas' Mix Up Exclusive show on Triple J. After receiving such a huge response, it was played again the following Friday on the Mix Up with Deacon Rose show.

CANT kicks off with his house mix of JUSTIN MARTIN's, 'Ghettos and Gardens.' This choice of introduction sounds as though he is summoning himself which really whirls you in. As the set progresses, you'll find that at times you'll be waiting for a drop after an ultimate build up. Sometimes you'll get one, but clever Mat has decided to funk this one up by adding unexpected turnarounds amongst the synthesisers, bass and most importantly cowbell. Who doesn't love a cowbell?

Working as 360's official DJ, co-owning online record label Scattermusic and hosting radio show Get Low on Loose Joints, you can trust that CANT concocts a pretty dope mix up.

Merging beats from LOBSTER BOY to LIL SILVA, expect to hear a range of performers.

So if you're up for a groove and have just under an hour to spare, check out this phenomenon. Before you get all danced up, save a jam for the man himself about 45 minutes in with his track 'Make Believe' which is set to be released on his next production under Scattermusic in late July/early August.

After having said all of this I should warn you-avoid listening to this anywhere between Monday and Thursday as it's the perfect weekend tease.

The mix up is available as a free digital download. There is also 50 limited edition hard copies available so get in quick and follow this LINK!
