DOWNLOAD NEW SHADETEK TRACK AT XLR8R
“iHop” excels as a futuristic dubstep number with its focus on strong shuffling rhythms, thick bass melodies, and soulful, pitch-shifted vocal sampling on par with UK funky’s finest” – Patric Fallon, XLR8R
“excellent throughout… It’s always possible that he just went so deep into Detroit that he arrived in Africa by mistake.” – Eddie Stats, The Fader

Matt Shadetek – iHop
Earlier this afternoon, the good folks over at XLR8R liberated a track “iHop” from Flowers, Matt Shadetek’s first solo instrumental album which drops June 8th – just a couple of weeks from now. This will be the first time we announce the album on this blog! We’re all excited about Flowers, which is Matt’s most beautiful and light-hearted work to date. Read Patric Fallon’s review and download the tune at XLR8R.

I like it. I’m curious about what your motivation is behind this track and/or the forthcoming album in general. Do you expect it to be played out in lounges/clubs, weekend BBQs, at the crib?

All the above plz!
I definitely wanted it to be a record you can live with in your house. Secondarily I always have one foot in the club and play many of these when I dj out, so sonically they definitely work on a system.
