Premiere: Matador teases his scorching new EP with title track 'Velvet Revolver'

The techno titan unleashes the first listen of his upcoming collection

Irishman Matador continues his domination as a techno maverick with an EP collection that serves to bookend his already successful 2016 chapter.

Arriving as the follow-up to his 'Ructions' album released earlier this year, the producer's five-track 'Velvet Revolver' EP is an unapologetically fierce addition to his artillery that's out soon on Matador's own RUKUS imprint.

The EP's firepower title track explodes right out of the gate before bending back into a brooding techno bass line. 'Velvet Revolver' leaves no space for hesitation, drowning listeners in an up-and-down journey of drilling beats and building crashes across the seven minute EP opener.

'Velvet Revolver' is out November 7 on RUKUS and will be available here. Ahead of the track's release, Matador stops in at Exchange LA in downtown Los Angeles alongside Alan Fitzpatrick. Find tickets here.
