 Inspired by the mythical power of the full moon and the famous parties of Southeast Asia, MATTE’s Full Moon develops this narrative with New York’s distinct culture and edge – a transcendental beach party in the center of New York Harbor with sounds, art and food from a carefully curated lineup of musicians, DJs, artists, and chefs.

Full Moon 2013 is New York’s not-to-be-missed summer music event, blurring the line between festival and dance party. In 2012, Full Moon was attended by over 2,500 of New York’s finest and written up by titles such as Bullett Magazine, NY Mag and VICE.

This year, The Beach at Governors Island serves as an urban paradise for Full Moon – a sunset over the Statue of Liberty, a moonrise over Lower Manhattan.

Full Moon’s 2013 lineup will feature Miami Horror, Tanlines, Wild Belle, Cyril Hahn, Float Fall, The Knocks, Yuksek, & more.

Alright so this sounds Fu$%ing exciting right!? I know EMPT is gonna be there so everyone reading this better get your sexy Summer asses there as well. Here is where you can purchase tickets and check out the facebook link for more info and inspiration!

Destiny’s Child – Say My Name (Cyril Hahn Remix)

It doesn’t matter if you love or hate Destiny’s Child. It doesn’t matter if you used to love ‘Say My Name‘ and ever since that ex girlfriend of yours dumped you, you started hating it. Because, what Vancouver native Cyril Hahn did to the track, is nothing short of magic. With a mixture of RnB and some effects, he flipped this song upside down.

Speaking with Hector about this track we were discussing the fact that it is really interesting when we come across something labeled as a remix but upon hearing it realize it’s something completely new. At least in my personal experience I’ve come across a re-work like this very few times. I can’t stop listening to this version and I applaud Cyril Hahn for it; and hope he keeps pushing out works like these. This is the product of creativity, craft and good taste in fusing genres. That said, I wondered what could’ve sparked this remix? So, I asked.

And as the real nice guy he is, Mr. Hahn himself gave EMPT an exclusive insight into this remix. Here are a couple of excerpts:

When I started working on the song I had just finished a mixtape featuring a lot of new house music such as Fort Romeau, Disclosure, Octo Octa, Kidnap Kid etc which definitely influenced the way I worked on the song.

It’s kind of ironic cause I used to hate house/dance music when I was younger and never saw myself writing a song with a steady kick drum.

My goal was to do something different without losing some sense of coherence in my sound.

Somebody described my music as “sensual codeine vibes” and I think it’s kind of fitting.”

Most songs evoke moments, and on most of my posts I tend to pair the featured song with a specific mood or moment(s). This is not the case. This song is for absolutely no moment in particular. It is to be listened to without interruptions and while doing absolutely nothing. Take it in, and enjoy.

[UPDATE]: It so happens that the guy in the picture I posted was not Cyril. He pointed the fact and I’ve since replaced the image with one of himself taking a picture. He says he’s sorry that he doesn’t have any pictures of himself but that he wants people to focus on his music and not on himself.
