Matt Nash x Carta – Fearless [April 18 – Oxygen Recordings]

Spinnin’ Records made a huge splash in the music industry when they announced the signing of their first Chinese artist, Carta. They promised his first release would come in April, and that time has arrived in the form of “Fearless”. His debut on the family of labels comes alongside industry veteran Matt Nash, who is making his return to Oxygen Recordings after one release on the label in 2012. Nash, of course, has a decorated discography of his own, highlighted by releases on Size Records (“Louder” w/ AN21) and Armada Trice (“Rivers [I’ll Take Care Of You]”).  Carta, along with being the first Chinese member of the Spinnin’ roster, also had an appearance at the Spinnin’ Hotel event in Miami. “Fearless” will be released via Oxygen Recordings on April 18.

The breakdown on this track kicks off with a percussion heavy sequence. While rather mundane at first, the sound on “Fearless” becomes more dynamic with the addition of a vocoder-edited vocal loop from the background. That vocal is where the track gets its name, and has a groove of its own that adds to what was simply percussion previously. More percussion is added to the mix as the buildup gets underway, and other risers build hype towards what will be a heavy drop. “Fearless” drops with ferocious intensity, combining the danceability of groovy tracks with the sheer energy that comes from electro house.

This banger from Matt Nash and Carta will drop on April 18.
