Motez’ soundscape pushes the
boundaries of your regular house producer, going way back before he was making
wholesome, wall-to-wall club cuts and rocking festivals stages. His classical
piano know how and clear influences of the 90’s allows him to flex his skills
and musical-taste across all of his releases, chalking up six Hype Machine #1s
and dropping official remixes for Disclosure, Sam Smith, Goldlink and Ellie
Goulding. 2016 & 2017 also saw Motez join Diplo & Friends, Beats1 Radio
and triple j Mix Up Exclusives to lay down his favorite selections.
Following the success of
2016’s ‘The Vibe’ EP, which included the Tkay Maidza collaboration ‘Down Like
This’, 2017 saw Motez showcase his ever-evolving production abilities through
his first release ‘Praise’, followed by a fresh offering in ‘The Future’. After
having
spent much of the past two years in the studio writing and recording,
sonically ‘The Future’ is a new progression for Motez, featuring the uplifting
vocals of Antony & Cleopatra interwoven between verses, while a South
Australian children’s choir take the chorus to new heights. Three years in the
making, ‘The Future’ is Motez’ most personal offering to date, receiving support
from BBC-R1, KCRW, Live105 and triple j.
On the road and to the
stage, Motez has played to thousands at Field Day, Holy Ship, EDC, HARD Summer
and Electric Forest, fronted main support duties for Disclosure, RÜFÜS DU SOL
and Fatboy Slim, and filled clubs all over Australia, North America and Europe.
Between his own releases and remixes, Motez’ last 12 months has included a sold
out Australian ‘The Future’ Tour, another two trips to North America and a
return to the UK & Europe. Motez welcomed 2018 with a sold out national
festival tour with Fatboy Slim & Gorgon City, as well as a main-stage slot
on Mountain Sounds Festival, signaling the beginning of a big year ahead.
