Le Matos

About Le Matos

Le Matos are a Canadian synthwave group who produce fast-paced, neon-tinted electro tracks equally suited for dancefloors and action flicks. Referring to their music as "outrun" (similar to Kavinsky's 2013 album), their tracks are generally upbeat and glittery, yet avoid kitschiness or irony. Le Matos were founded by Jean-Nicolas Leupi and Jean-Philippe Bernier in Montreal in 2007. Their debut LP, Join Us, arrived in 2013. Le Matos then composed the score to the thriller Turbo Kid, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2015. The group's second album, Chronicles of the Wasteland, remixed the soundtrack material into dance tracks. ~ Paul Simpson
