Matador x Elliot Vast – Twisted

Award-winning Irish DJ and artist Matador unveils a new collaboration with American outfit Elliot Vast today, called ‘Twisted’.

This track’s beauty is in its simplicity. The song is inspired by a former lover returning, and presents listeners with a melodic house production that slowly evolves, gradually building a dreamy soundscape with a hypnotic beat.

Matador currently commands more than 230k monthly listeners and has amassed well over 25 million streams. LA-based Elliot Vast are a sought-after singer-songwriter producer duo who have collaborated with the likes of Nero’s Joseph Ray and Pretty Pink.
