We are excited to welcome Co La to our EU/UK roster!

Co La is the new project of Matthew Papich, a music designer, reggae user, and lifestyle producer working in the USA.

It’s time to welcome in the era of New Exotica with “Daydream Repeater”, the debut LP by Co La, gentleman and purveyor of all things avant-luxury. Matthew Papich designs a new sonic territory, creating something that nods to Jamaican Rocksteady and 50′s American Pop in spirit, but ultimately presents an elegant re-purposing of those parts into fresh, smart, electronic music. For all seeking an attitude adjustment in the era of austerity, try burning one for Co La’s cultivated luxury sound – you may find an emerging solidarity slipping into your ears. In other words – if you’re too wise to live straight, you better grip this sound sooner than later. Mastered by Lupo at Dubplates & Mastering in Berlin.

“This is the music that I want to wake up to every morning while a Rube Goldberg Contraption pours fresh coffee and makes hot waffles. For me, Co La embodies the memory of coasting through a dry Mexican town with the windows open, shirt sleeves rolled up, drinking a Coke out of a glass bottle, and soaking in the vivid hues of color. Co La is the passport from Spring to Summer. Crisp, Heady, Co La.” – Ken Seeno, Altered Zones
