The equivalent of sublime Detroit techno for the more mainstream New York house crowd,
New York Rhythms is an hour-long set with none of the floor-filling tricks of the trade used by many commercial-oriented producers and DJs. Instead,
Mateo & Matos succeed simply by working though various deep house grooves, always imbued with soul and a surprising degree of majesty. Highlights include the Latin-tinged standout "Summer Groove." ~ John Bush
