Matt Sassari is a relatively new name in the techno scene, but his latest single sounds like it was produced by a seasoned vet. And at this rate, that distinction seems like a foregone conclusion. The track is called “Goi,” and it’s out now by way of There Is A Light Records alongside a remix by Ramon Tapia. Dark, hypnotic and replete with industrial sound design, “Goi” is signature Sassari.
