Review: Pablo Mateo has only released a few records, but his house and techno productions are winning him a reputation as a bright young talent. Mateo's debut on Belgian label Curle will do his name no harm. "Animal Mother" is built on a rickety rhythm and dark bursts of percussion, which lay the basis for a churning chord sequence that builds and builds as the track progresses. The title track is led by lithe breakbeats and a powerful bass undercurrent, but at its heart is a mournful vocal intoning the track's title. Mateo surprises again with "I Bet You're The Kind Of Guy". This time the beats are crunchy and distorted, but they lead into a dreamy coda that is dreamy and reflective.
