Brand new track from Bay Blue (fka Anticon producer “Matth”)

Bay Area producer Matt Chang (known to many early Anticon fans as Sole / Pedestrian producer Matth) has finally released his debut record for Anticon. He is no longer using the Matth moniker though. Now you can call him Bay Blue. Heavy on the Jazz vibe, the songs on the record were painstakingly pieced together from samples, creating brand-new songs that sound like a live band. Pretty great stuff. His self-titled debut record drops next month.
