Who, or, what, exactly is a Matured Sinner? In this case it’s the result of a meeting of both minds and bodies between Swedish producer Johan Blende, freshly relocated to Athens, and fellow Eskimo artist and native Athenian NTEIBINT.
Among the decidedly weak minds succumbing to night time activities, an idea was born. This idea emerged amid day time regret. It aimed to create the best Greco-Norse creation since ABBA stole a bouzouki. They used it shamefully for the best part of Mamma Mia (OST ™).
“I took one of my half-baked beats to George (aka NTEIBINT) to see what he could add to it and voilà – Mist 9000 was born!” explained Johan. Now the track is complete with pulsating analogue arpeggios. It also has a throbbing bass line and increasingly distressed synths. They all writhe together in composed ecstasy that dance floors are made for. The track that emerged from George’s studio left them hungry for more.
Almost queasily blissful sighs
Returning to the studio, it isn’t long before the song that would give this new project its name emerged. Created with the help of a friend Olga on backing vocals and an unnamed, equally sinning, young lad. Matured Sinner paired hypnotic disco beats, sinuous synths, and squawking sine waves. It combined almost queasily blissful sighs with a cautionary tale of drugs, flying saucer cults. The song spirals deeper and deeper into sin and moral ruin.
Was it enough? It was. But then the third one came around, mainly by sheer want to continue, lingering like the third child of a marriage running out of ideas. Shall we keep going? “Of course we shall, this is our gift to the world!”
Like a modern day cult, Bright Bum was conceived in a non-sexual context from leftover sounds after a night of confusing creations and not necessarily tender compliments in an equal manner, chugging synths squelching their way over a mesmerising guitar loop as bright stabs cut through the humid funk of the track’s insistent rhythm which, like all good nights out, increasingly fray at the edges as it rolls towards oblivion. Nobody requested it but like the nature of humanity itself, it must keep going.
