Paris-based producer Mattyuzalem makes his debut on Spain’s rising & shining label Burning Synths with “Italo France,” a vibrant five-track EP blending nostalgic and contemporary electronic flavours. The release showcases the artist’s knack for merging retro Italo Disco motifs with modern French House sensibilities, anchored by driving basslines and shimmering synth work. Alongside Mattyuzalem’s original productions, the parcel includes dynamic remixes from Alphanova and Roglar, offering fresh perspectives on the source material. With its cross-border sonic palette and collaborative spirit, “Italo France” solidifies both the artist and label as ones to watch in the global dance circuit.

The standout moment arrives with Roglar’s rework of “Rain Man,” a track whose title may nod to Barry Levinson’s 1988 cinematic classic. While the original leans into shadowy but upbeat Progressive House grooves, Roglar catapults the track into a neon-lit, Italo-meets-Trance dimension. Layers of arpeggiated synths spiral over a pulsating bassline, building toward euphoric crescendos that evoke late-night warehouse raves and ’90s Trance nostalgia. Roglar balances retro aesthetics with crisp production, amplifying the emotional core of Mattyuzalem’s blueprint while injecting kaleidoscopic energy. It’s a remix that feels both cinematic in scope and irresistibly dance-floor-bound – a fitting tribute to its potential silver-screen inspiration.

You can find (and buy) this and other music pearls on the Beatport page of the label.
