Madteo
Sinister Ministers
Meakusma starts a new series of special, limited releases. On 10inch vinyl and CD, a number of different artists will be contributing tracks, leftfield from the demands and expectations of any weekly release schedule. Kicking off the series is Madteo, who already prickled initiated ears with his releases on Morphine and its sublabel Lanquid. A native of Padua in Italy, but residing in New York City, Madteo explores uncharted territory in his tracks, making it nearly impossible to pin down his music to any genre or style. References though are HipHop, House and abstract Electronica. The HipHop moments are emphasized by MC Sensational’s contributions. ‘Sinister Ministers’ is an EP rich in contrast, defined on the one hand by a warm, muffled and deep bass sound, on the other hand by digital and breathy string-laden sounds, rounded off with sharp FX-sounds and crispy drums. Madteo has a knack for creating a consuming tension. Elements get either emphasized or abstracted in one way, while filtered or strengthened in another way. His tracks thus navigate towards a fictive climax which is never really reached, only to collapse again.
