Mtchll

as part of the Festival Culture Bar-Bars

MTCHLL is born from a point of collision: where the raw material of rock meets the immersive power of electronic music. On stage, electric guitar, voice and analogue machines intertwine to form a dense sonic body, traversed by deep basslines, saturated textures and physical pulsations.

The project draws on the legacy of big beat/breakbeat (Prodigy, Chemicals Brothers, Underworld…) by embracing this head-on blend of techno, rock and acid house. But here, it is not a matter of reproduction: MTCHLL diverts these codes to create an embodied live experience. The guitar plays a central role, embracing all its dimensions: rhythmic, melodic, noisy, vibratory, sensory. (It becomes by turns impulse, tension, relief, matter.)

The voice, raw and direct, fits into this energy. It does not sit above the music; it runs through it. It brings warmth and a human presence, at times head-on, at times drowned in the mass of sound, always in the service of intensity.

Mtchll is a hybrid, free space, where genres collide to give rise to a direct, instinctive, almost visceral sensory experience. A project designed to be felt as much as listened to.
