Interview with Mateo: Musical Explorer at RadioKaosCaribou
This week’s interview features MoiMateo, a musical explorer from the south of France who is committed to finding and sharing the best of the newest music around:
I like to say that I am an explorer of sounds. But in reality, I am a music lover who appreciates being able to share what I listen to. I am fed by decibels, and I devour melodies without ever expecting to overdose. I adore taking my musical hits and I am always looking for the smallest novelty on which it seems essential to bet.
More down to earth: Marseillais (or almost) by origin, having rolled my hump through numerous french cities, I was cradled by two Beatles vinyls, and I am appalled to listen to the abusive mainstream tracks that are broadcast on FM airwaves. Today, I developed my brand for spreading music: MoiMateo - which is a blog that, together with social networks, tries to support the artists that I appreciate by diffusing them massively across the web.
1. You seek new sounds your twice-monthly podcast on RadioKC, what is your style and do you have a favorite type of music?
I don’t have a favorite style of music and what’s more, I could never be content with only one style. Instead, I have a preference for a period of music, that of the 60’s and 70’s. It’s a preference without contest for rock in the biggest sense of the word, ranging from hardcore metal to ska and touching on punk, blues, and even trip-hop, etc. Basically, I like the sound of a guitar and particularly the different formations of bass/guitar/drums. On top of that, one could try any sort of experimentation, as long as what is added has a soul, I love it.
Additionally, I have started to appreciate different rap tracks with lyrics that touch me. Or Brit-pop like sounds that bring me into dreams of voyages without leaving my house. Then there is funk: music that often makes me dance and lose all reason.
I have less love for jazz, country, classical music, and my electronic music culture is a little limited.
2. The WebRadio RKC is a collaboration among whom?
RKC - RadioKaosCaribou - is the “voice of the academy of mixture.” A WebRadio (by definition broadcast across the entire world) managed by “The Boss,” an athlete of the discovery of music. RKC today has succeeded in revolving around the music of a passionate team comprised of DJs, selectors, artists from various backgrounds and countries since the web has no geographical limitations. We are a collective with the same objective: open the ears of the biggest number of listeners for both RKC and our personal projects.
3. What is your mission with RKC, and do you have objectives for this year?
We try not to strive for yearly objectives or things like that. We are here to share our passion for music, with the desire to promote artists that don’t necessarily appear in major media. We don’t ever know what the next idea we will try. That could easily be organizing an event based around music, either virtually or offline. Everything is possible with passion and madness.
