Brainfeeder’s de facto New Age guru and all-around production wizard, Matthewdavid, returns with a sophomore full-length for the label, an all-inclusive Mindflight entitled In My World. Unlike prior LP Outmind, which was a largely ambient and inward journey, In My World expands exponentially to a multitude of lavish sound worlds ranging from the lush, vaporous pop dub, ethereal love jams, uncharacteristic IDM breakbeats and Low End Theory-approved doses of speaker-rattling sub-bass.
An invitation awaits, a beckoning call to a beautiful paradise forged by imagination. Final track “Birds in Flight” encapsulates the message — “We can only dream a dream that’s dreamt from the Mind’s Eye.” Inner and outer worlds merge into an idyllic reality — life as a psychedelic and self-willed vacation. Infinity looms large here, with a watchful eye towards unseen yet strongly felt intricacies of a futuristic and frail modernity. “As long as we have Love,” Matthewdavid assures us, the world may never end. If the title of his free EP Producers in 2012 Learn to Spread Love was selectively aimed at fellow beatmakers, then In My World encourages listeners to now follow the artist’s example and do the same.
