Mathame have released their latest single ‘Come For You’ via Astralwerks

Italian-brother duo Amedeo and Matteo Giovanelli AKA Mathame have released their latest single ‘Come For You’ via Astralwerks.

Pairing beautifully melancholic vocals with gliding synths, Mathame explore the relationship between man and spiritual entities in ‘Come For You.’ The harmony is skillfully resolved with a halting crescendo, creating a deliberate feeling of tension alluding to the tense feelings of the disparity between the human and divine realms.

These are Carl‘s original tracks, as he created them for his album – a true representation of the sound of ‘Electronic Generations.’ Three of these have been released this year as ‘pre-mixes’, albeit in very different versions, reworked and reimagined in collaboration with some of Carl‘s favorite artists; ‘Speed Trials on Acid‘ came out with Fatboy Slim, ‘How It Makes You Feel‘ with Nicole Moudaber and most recently ‘See The Sun Rising‘ with Franky Wah.

Here’s what the hard-working team behind Beon1x had to say about the first edition of the festival:

“Fantastic debut of BEON1X Music Fest has showed it all off with its animatronics show and fireworks, street art and legendary DJs live performances. It started building up its fan base from day one. We were pleased to hear only positive feedback from both music fans and showmakers. They appreciated our choice of the line-up as well as the high level of management at the venue. We are witnessing BEON1X’s emergence as one of the best electronic music festivals in Europe and the neighboring continents”

During the festival, organizers also announced the groundbreaking BEON1X Art Cluster project – conceived as a unique international socio-cultural project by representatives of the international art, business, and IT communities.

The next step will be the preparation of the base and infrastructure of the future cluster. Meanwhile we will start the renovation of an old winery in Limassol – will be turned into an art gallery and a public space. And by the end of this year, we will begin engineering and technical surveys with the aim of implementing the future environmental project to restore the island’s coastline – landscaping, strengthening the coastline, stopping soil erosion”, – Tata Andrews, project manager of the BEON1X Art Cluster, added.
