Nikko.Z's Dopamine White continues a strong start to the year by 
welcoming Matias Ocano to the label for his debut EP. Hailing 
from Buenos Aires, the Argentinean artist first appeared on the 
progressive music scene in November of 2020 with a release on 
Another Life Music. Backed by remixes from Agustin Pietrocola 
and Agustin Aluise and Tomas Novelli, it showcased the 
Argentine's groovy take on the genre perfectly. Now continuing 
to rise Matias begins the new year with his Dopamine White debut 
entitled 'Supersonic'.

Adding nicely to his portfolio, it is the title track 
'Supersonic' which leads the release off. Anchored by a robust 
kick, its rhythmic core rises quickly, with layers of buoyant 
percussion and trippy electronics filling in the framework. Dark 
designs and chugging drive push momentum forward, as pensive 
overlays blanket the framework. An array of cosmic effects steal 
the air at opportune moments, eventually leading to a cavernous 
break. Spanning nearly two minutes in length the centrepiece 
slowly melts down to a sparse sonic wasteland, where fragmented 
arps and cinematic swells build anticipation towards to a 
powerful finale.

The EP's midway point finds Matias exploring pulsating rhythms 
and tranquil hypnotics with 'No Opportunity'. Its chunky groove 
is rough and rugged, characterized by rippling contours and 
rolling undulation. Distinct and powerful, it provides the 
perfect foundation for waves of percussion, hopeful pads and 
trailing effects. The narrative shifts into emotive territory as 
the breakdown moves gently through tranquil atmospheres and 
fragmented melodies, before rising into a commanding drop and 
melodic final movement.

Rounding out the release and continuing the EP's dark, hypnotic 
ethos is 'No Time'. Punchy beats, charged rhythms and detailed 
percussion unite for a rolling rhythmic core. Haunting arps and 
icy atmospheres then advance the narrative, perfectly setting up 
an eerie break and commanding drop. It caps off an excellent 
collection of music from Matias Ocano, who makes an excellent 
debut on Dopamine White to begin the year.
