drumma_boi Absolutely adore the rawness of this record, all the layers and especially the drums! Goes perfectly with coffee and pancakes on a sunday morning Favorite track: Entitled Smile.

Sam Tweaks One of my favourite discoveries of 2023 - simply beautiful. Brilliant brass, super clean drums but it's the timing of the keys that elevates this to sublime. A wonderful musical journey from start to finish.

filevofan Oh my gosh!!
Thankyou and yours soooo much for releasing this.
It's simply beautiful and lovingly uplifting.
I'm currently on a bus and don't want to get off 😂

about

Gilles Peterson, Worldwide FM - "A mancunian moment... love this!

Jamie Cullum, BBC Radio 2 - "He's been making a lot of noise for himself in the jazz and beats space... it's right there in the centre of what everyone's listening to"

Tom Ravenscroft, BBC 6 Music - "wicked new single from Matt Wilde!"

Bradley Zero, NTS - "Mmmm, lovely stuff!"

Andrew Jervis, Bandcamp Weekly - "Who Cares by Matt Wilde, on legendary venue Band on the Wall's label"

Huey Morgan, BBC 6 Music - 'Here's something new from Matt Wilde, little downtempo vibe - you're gonna like it'

‘Hello World’ is an audio catalogue of personal experiences, thoughts and feelings, shared with honesty and curiosity for the human condition. Matt crafts emotive and uplifting compositions denoting a tender illustration of the human experience, finding and celebrating the simple and beautiful moments of life.

From the initial key flourishes of first single and LP opener ‘Who Cares’, ‘Hello World’ embeds the listener in a technicolour world of rich melodies, crisp instrumentation and meditative grooves. Over its eleven track duration, the album channels calming sonics, passionate playing and an optimistic, playful outlook whilst offering moments of reflection and calm.

The relationship between Matt and Band on the Wall is a true family affair, reaching all the way back to Matt’s teenage years. Matt explains:

“I grew up in Manchester after my mum emigrated from Poland. I was surrounded by MCs, rappers and musicians who were writing and recording hip hop and grime. I began producing, making beats and DJing, and spent several years getting involved in workshops at Band on the Wall through music charity Brighter Sound, which laid the foundations for my musical development. Growing up, I was enveloped by loads of different cultures which have all fed into the music I make and continue to inspire me today. The Manchester music scene is thriving with so many innovative artists doing their thing and making a big impression, and I’m proud to be from here.”

The release of ‘Hello World’ is the culmination of a beautiful full circle moment, showcasing what can be achieved when community and creativity is given a space to grow organically.
