Matt Forner presents Barra Brava on OHM Music
It has been just under a year since Matt Forner appeared on OHM Music’s radar with his brain melting remix of Danilo Ercole’s ‘Scan’. Since then, the Illinois native has refused to slip into the shadows, garnering the attention of A State Of Trance and Armada Music who has since delivered ‘Monarch’ to the masses on Armada sub-label Black Sunset Music. Refusing to slow down as he hones his craft inside the studio, Matt Forner returns back to the OHM Music family of tastemakers with ‘Barra Brava’, a powerfully creative expression of interest that breaks the boundaries between dance and sport!
Dance AND sport you ask? Before we dig into all the juicy details of Matt Forner’s ‘Barra Brava’ let’s first begin with a little history lesson:
You may find the title curiously familiar as barra brava is actually a name reserved for the organized group of supporters of football teams in Latin America. Barra brava’s are known to turn up the volume at football events as they stand throughout the match, singing, and engaging in enthusiastic behavior such as waving flags and urging the crowd to go wild. Barra brava’s reflect the characteristics of the European ultras and hooligan groups and find commonality in Uruguay, Argentina, Brazil, Peru, Chile, and Colombia, while spreading to other parts of the world, including the United States.
Now that we have a clear understanding of the backstory it is Matt Forner who has lassoed the barra brava energy, marrying the call of the enthusiastic football fan to an equally energized trance theme and rhythmical pulse. Through a rousing explosion of sound dynamics, our own voices will flood the airwaves as the massive festival inspired synths make way for the sounds of fanfare, urging us to join in on the infectious chant, culminating in dance floor unity as we transmit positive vibes together as one!
With an unmatched creative vision, Matt Forner’s ‘Barra Brava’ would quickly find itself scooped up for a little bit of remix action from the likes of trance addict Hakan Ozurun and Get Served Radio’s Table 18!
Throwing all inhibition to the wind, Hakan Ozurun delivers the fire with a gritty tech-fueled bassline evolution that sits below a playfully reconstructed melody. Suddenly, the beat pulls back as Hakan opens up the floor for the dedicated barra brava to take the stage inspiring a titillating out of body experience that plucks us out of our conscious state and delivers us to the grandstands where we join in on the madness, fueled by the thunderous roar of the crowd.
From grandstand to ethereal exploration, it is Table 18 that reserves his remix for those who wish to cheer and dance among the constellations. With a crisp yet weightless take on the melody, enter in a chopped up sound-byte twist that gives the barra brava fandom a mild yet head-turning presence among the life forms that dwell in the outer reaches of the galaxy. So with that, it is time to stretch out your vocal chords, get out your dancing shoes and prepare to become a true barra brava as Matt Forner and friends welcome you to the game on May 18, 2018!
