Honest Jon's

Madteo is an Italian producer who has been based in the USA since 1993 and a resident of NYC since 1994. With a unique blend of electronic music, Madteo has captivated audiences with his innovative soundscapes and experimental approach to production.

Influenced by artists such as *Rrose*, *Kassem Mosse*, and *Terrence Dixon*, Madteo's music pushes boundaries and challenges traditional genres. His tracks are characterized by intricate rhythms, deep basslines, and atmospheric textures that create an immersive listening experience.

With a discography spanning over two decades, Madteo has established himself as a respected figure in the underground music scene. Collaborating with artists like *Hieroglyphic Being* and *Lowtec*, he continues to push the boundaries of electronic music while staying true to his unique vision.

Three dazzling re-routings of Detroit machine funk -- Moodymann in particular -- into deep mid-Atlantic cominglings with raw, old-school hip-hop and house. "Str8 Crooked" is clattering, chugging jack, holding something like Paisley soul under the water; "Build Back Better Sweatshops" is more driving, riven with breakdowns and horror-show vocal samples. With an up-tempo downbeat which nonetheless sounds like a tolling bell, the epic, immersive, sixteen-minutes-plus "Episcopi Vagantes" pulls off the deadly combination of a kind of stifled, timeworn, melodic wistfulness and percussively restless, passing-through urgency. This is killer dance music, run through with swinging bass and ruff b-boy drum-machine rhythms: encrusted and detailed, mangled and nervy, but intensely hard-grooving; wired with punk insouciance, edginess, and free spirit.
