Thomas Blanchot, percussionist and drummer, started his production structure Mato Production in 2001, where he collaborated and directed for many projects. Composer, music publisher and producer of music for TV, advertising, films and records, he also began a career as reggae producer since 2006, under the name Mato. Since then he's released music through various projects concepts, coming out through labels such as Makasound, EDR Records or Big Singles. In the meantime he developed a real trademark: taking over classics in French, hip-hop, or pop songs, and creating roots reggae-dub versions. Since 2010, Mato has built a solid reputation thanks to his hot remixes of hip-hop classics on Stix Records. In 2014, he presented Homework Dub, giving his own vision of the multiplatinum classic album by Daft Punk, quickly acclaimed internationally as a true performance. Mato is back with another target for his special skills as a tailor of reggae music, this time focusing on classic musical themes from original soundtracks. Imagine if Lalo Schifrin, Nino Rota, Giorgio Moroder, Ennio Morricone or John Williams had been blunted at Lee "Scratch" Perry's Black Ark studio - There you go, this is Hollywoo Dub!

STIX 044EP
|
Percussionist, composer, and producer Thomas Blanchot began a career as reggae producer in 2006 under the Mato alias. Since then he's released on labels including Makasound, EDR, Big Single, and Stix, developing his trademark of turning hip-hop and pop classics into roots reggae dubs. His 2014 Homework Dub album (STIX 039LP), which presented his vision of Daft Punk's classic 1997 album, won international acclaim. Here, Mato returns with renditions two film soundtrack pieces -- the amazing "'T' Stands For Trouble" by Marvin Gaye and "Enter The Dragon" by legendary composer Lalo Schifrin -- in advance of his 2016 album Hollywoo Dub.

LP version. 40 year-old percussionist and drummer Thomas Blanchot started his production outfit Mato Production in 2001, under which he collaborated and directed many projects as composer, music publisher and producer of music for TV, advertising, films and records. He also began a career as a reggae producer in 2006, under the name Mato. Since then, he's released music through various projects, coming out on labels such as Makasound, EDR Records or Big Singles. In the meantime he developed a real trademark: taking classic French songs, hip-hop, or pop songs and making them into roots/reggae-dub new versions. Since 2010, Mato's built a solid reputation thanks to his many remixes of hip-hop classics on Stix Records. It is therefore natural to find him back with a new concept on the Favorite Recordings' sub-label: seasoning the notorious Homework album by Daft Punk with his special reggae-dub sauce. Once again, Mato achieves a brilliant rendition with Homework Dub, almost making dreadlocks grow out of the French robots' heads. Using kick-effects, delays and roaring bass, he reinvents one of the most famous albums of electronic music as if it were straight out of Scientist, King Tubby or Mad Professor's studios in Jamaica.
