Famed for his role as the frontman and guitarist of band Underground System, Peter Matson’s solo side project gives him a vehicle for his energetic dance music, released through Bastard Jazz. ‘Roma Norte’ is the lead single from his debut EP Short Trips, and brings Latin-style beats and hypnotic basslines to a dancefloor which will inevitably become packed as soon as the opening rhythm kicks in. As Bastard Jazz’s SoundCloud says, Matson’s style “sounds like the work of someone not interested in where one scene ends and the other begins, but instead, where they connect”. -Dan Peeke
