MOBILEE 013CD
|
As an artist with already a lot of very successful material to his name, Rodriguez Jr.'s debut album Bittersweet is a highly-anticipated release. There are, in fact, many reasons why people should hold their breath for it -- an impressive 11-track body of work that features some of the well-renowned and loved Rodriguez Jr. sonic traits, as well as a lot of new and previously-unchartered musical ground. It simultaneously presents techno, atmospheric dub, hypnotic, melancholy and hands-down hedonistic music, with a focus on exploring textures and moods -- something here for everyone to get lost in. Rodriguez Jr. aka Oliver Mateu, was originally introduced to music through radio in the south of France, where he closely followed a selection of '80s bands, as well as forming a strong love for synthesizers. It wasn't long before he was inspired to start his own group with partner Giles Escoffier, The Youngsters, which quickly signed to Laurent Garnier's F-Communications, taking them to some of the biggest clubs and festivals around the world. After great success, the project was put on hold and over the last five years, Mateu has been given the space to focus more on his solo work and finally the opportunity to create an album. In spite of his French origins, both Olivier Mateu's artist name and productions lean more towards his father's Spanish roots, with a Mediterranean warmth and party atmosphere often coming to the fore. Bittersweet, however, embodies influences from all over the world. Inspired during recent trips to Japan, Canada and Europe, the voyaging Rodriguez Jr. accompanied by his laptop lay down ideas in hotel rooms after playing in clubs and absorbed the different environments around him into his work. With each country creating a new experience, his touring has played a big part in the variety of tracks that are presented here. While the spice of Bittersweet was cultivated in far away places, the main body of the production of the album was carried out in Mateu's hidden-away studio in Belgium, filled with many loved pieces of analog gear and synthesizers. Ranging from the Roland TR909, for a classic house drum feel, to the Korg MS10 for dirtier sounds, and a selection of Roland keyboards to choose from. He has also drawn on the creative input of two musicians who are featured on two of the tracks -- And.Id playing his trumpet and Cari Golden's vocals. A masterpiece that truly reflects the Rodriguez Jr. of today, it also offers enough variety and surprise to keep us inspired by this ever-evolving artist.

LEENA 011EP
|
"Hailing from Montpellier, Rodriguez Jr. makes his return to Leena with 'Kids Of Hula,' bringing the coastal sounds of his hometown along with him. After the success of 'Rubbo Swingo,' his first release on Leena, Rodriguez Jr. -- who also comprises half of F Communications' The Youngsters -- went on to release records for Boxer Recordings and Mothership. On Leena's 11th release, he has returned for a second round, once again displaying his softer side as a housey, psychedelic producer. 'Kids of Hula' begins on a strongly melodic note with airy, exotic chords leading the way and occasional accents of tropical percussion lining the backdrop. Old-school throwbacks also have their place here, as the track climaxes with the use of psychedelic vintage sounds that recall the work of space disco giant Lindstrom until they ultimately fuse together with the track's initial harmonies to create a complex and layered final product."

MSHIP 009EP
|
"Piña Colada" is a juicy slice of sun-drenched techno from Rodriguez Jr. (aka Olivier M. of The Youngsters). This is techno for sweaty street parties, BBQs, and moonlit beach raves. On the B-side, Voodeux twists the gleeful melody into something sinister, infusing spine-tingling soundscapes and booming toms into the mix. Maetrik deconstructs the theme and rebuilds it with galactic-sized bass and careening melodies -- a fitting conclusion to this shimmering collection of summer techno.

BOXER 061EP
|
Rodriguez Jr. is just perfect for a small and sweaty club -- it is full of pop, enormously rocking, with rich and varied hooks and melodies. With Lila's EP, Olivier Mateu, member of the French formation The Youngsters, has managed to find a way into the record cases of our heroes, and into your alcohol-dazed minds and your pulsating hearts, too. It is music that cannot decide whether it is pop or techno, and that's perfectly okay.
