Chilean born, German raised MATIAS AGUAYO is one of those rare talents you come across that genuinely works in music for the sake of loving music. KOMPAKT’s long love affair with MATIAS AGUAYO runs back to his first official act (together with Dirk Leyers) as CLOSER MUSIK in 2000. Though short lived, their releases were foundation builders for the label and still stand as relevant as the day the songs were recorded. Following their demise, Matias felt the urge to abandon the rules that he felt techno imposed on him and moved towards a more organic approach. After a string of acclaimed 12" releases on Kompakt ("Minimal", "Walter Neff") and Soul Jazz ("99 Seconds" EP), he is set to drop the "Ay Ay Ay" LP. To call “Ay Ay Ay” ambitious would be an understatement – we can proudly state that MATIAS AGUAYO has managed to accomplish a rare achievement in music today – come up with a recording that is undeniably all his own and a landmark release for KOMPAKT.
