MAT ZO SHARES VIDEO FOR 'SINFUL' feat. I SEE MONSTAS

Grammy-nominated producer Mat Zo today shares the official video for ‘Sinful’, the second track to be taken from his forthcoming album ‘Self Assemble’ due for release on March 25th.

Following on from ‘Soul Food’, which was hailed as an “absolute banger” by Zane Lowe after premiering on his Beats 1 radio show and enjoyed success as Annie Mac’s Hottest Record on Radio 1, ‘Sinful’ continues in the same electro-funk, Daft Punk-flecked vein. The track manifests Zo’s hypercreative spirit with a soulful disco shimmer that goes hand in hand perfectly with director James Chappell’s sci-fi styled accompanying video. The video tells the story of a seductive robot who follows the lead of the pole-dancing women she observes in an underground joint, using her silvery good looks to entice an unwitting human. While Zo nods to an overarching theme of his bemusement with society’s fixation on technology and the pitfalls of the digital age, his aim is to create something that can be left to interpretation, open for all to enjoy and muse upon.

The remix package comes in the form of a heavy-hitting Drum & Bass banger from Skrillex-signed Teddy Killerz, a mellower and slightly cosmic take from nu-disco producer Louis La Roche and a funked-up reinterpretation from remix veteran Mason.

‘Self Assemble’ follows Zo’s debut album ‘Damage Control’ which was nominated for the 2015 Best Dance/Electronic Album Grammy, peaked at no.1 on the iTunes Dance Album Charts and reached no.7 on the US Billboard Charts.

As a figurehead of the dance music scene, Mat Zo has taken to the stage everywhere from Madison Square Garden to major festivals like Electric Daisy Carnival, Ultra Music Festival and TomorrowLand, and remixed artists such as Ellie Goulding, Empire of the Sun and Porter Robinson. Zo and Robinson also co-produced ‘Easy’ which hit no.1 on the Beatport Charts. 

Mat Zo's album ‎"Self Assemble"‎ will be released on March 25th via Mad Zoo, and can be pre-ordered here. "Sinful" is available to download and stream now.

MAT ZO UNVEILS “SOUL FOOD”- THE FIRST SINGLE FROM HIS FORTHCOMING ALBUM “SELF ASSEMBLE”

Grammy nominated recording artist Mat Zo announces that his second album, "Self Assemble," will be released March 25th via his own label Mad Zoo.

"Self Assemble" is the follow up to Zo's Grammy nominated debut album "Damage Control", which peaked at no. 7 on the Billboard Dance charts and made the top spot on their Heatseeker Albums Chart. 

Drawing on everything from electro-funk and 70s disco through trance to 90s pop and dubstep, "Self Assemble" endlessly blurs boundaries to rhapsodic effect. Born from Zo's initial ambition to write a film soundtrack, the album is boldly cinematic in both scope and feel.

The first track to be released from "Self Assemble" is "Soul Food" which was premiered on Beats1 on Wednesday February 3rd by Zane Lowe.  Available to stream and download beginning February 4th, “Soul Food” is a nod to golden age greats such as Daft Punk and The Chemical Brothers, whose influence runs throughout the album. 

Hailing from an artistic family - his mother is a music teacher, father a world renowned painter (whose illustrious career includes painting a portrait for Diana, Princess of Wales), and sister an award winning Israeli folk-pop singer songwriter - 25 year old LA-based and London born ‎Mat Zo mastered the guitar, bass and drums by the age of 12. 

By the age of 16, Zo had released his first single, “Exodus”, on progressive house label a:LOUD Recordings. Remix commissions from some of dance music’s biggest names followed before Zo began releasing Drum & Bass productions under the pseudonym MRSA through Hospital Records. He then went on to cement himself as one of the leading artists in the electronic sphere through both the release of multiple original recordings via Anjunabeats and an ongoing string of remixes for everyone from Ellie Goulding to Empire of the Sun, as well as his collaboration with Porter Robinson on “Easy” which hit no. 1 on the Beatport Top 100 chart in 2012.

More recently, the studio Svengali and self-professed production nerd has been focused on his newly launched record label Mad Zoo, and performing live everywhere from ‎Madison Square Garden to major festivals like ‎Electric Daisy Carnival, Ultra Music Festival, and Tomorrowland. All in addition to continuing his pursuit of a musical story regardless of genre or convention with perhaps his most ambitious work to date:

“More than anything I’ve done before, I wanted this album to tell a story… what I want is for people to listen to the album as a whole—and then feel like they’ve arrived somewhere new once it’s all done.”

Mat Zo's album ‎"Self Assemble"‎ will be released on April 1st via Mad Zoo Recordings, and can be pre-ordered here.
