Let Go With Wax Motif and Matroda’s “Lose Control”- Listen Here

Bass-bangers Wax Motif, a born and bred Aussie, and Matroda, Croatian DJ supastar extraordinaire, recently collaborated for Wax’s label Divided Souls Records. The two peas in a pod dropped some beep bop madness on November 22^nd, a sampling of Missy Elliot’s iconic “Lose Control.” Elliot’s famous line “music makes you lose control” echoes hypnotically, back and forth, while space lasers sound off in a techno-house battle. The track blends both of the artist’s styles, but Matroda’s trademark quirkiness particularly stands out.

Matroda’s tracks often incorporate buzzes, scuffs, zips, zaps, and other sounds that wouldn’t be considered traditional. His style might come off as eclectic but this is what makes his production style so unique. As the racetrack of techno goes ‘round and ‘round, the oddities in his music transform into something expected, appreciated, and then craved live a guilty pleasure. Matroda’s peculiarities attract the attention, but Wax Motif’s flow – underground, urban, and provocative – complexifies the dynamics, complementing Matroda’s quirks in all those right/wrong ways.
