Mattias Herrera 'Calendula' on Droid9

Mattias Herrera serves up another epic slice of progressive house in his inimitable style, with the release of 'Calendula' on Droid9, a stunning production that weaves serene atmospherics with potent dance floor energy.

Herrera constructs an intricate array of sounds, blending shimmering arpeggios with delicate melodic phrases over a formidable bassline. His meticulous arrangement technique creates a narrative that flows and builds to maximum effect, while maintaining a sense of reflective introspection. It's this quality of balancing cerebral depth and physical momentum that makes his music consistently compelling.

Following on from his previous Droid9 outing 'Not So Alone', which was released in the spring of 2022, 'Calendula' arrives as another marker of his development as one of the more interesting talents working in the deeper realms of progressive house. The track's subtle shifts of tension and release show a producer in full command of his craft, constructing a work that reveals its beauty gradually across each listen.

Droid9 continues to be a valuable home for him, with a consistent run of releases that maintain a high standard of quality. Both a continuation and an evolution, 'Calendula' is another example of his ability to craft electronic music that works on multiple levels of consciousness.
