"MATTE & SMOOTH"

Conflict, loneliness, anxiety, and hope.

"MATTE & SMOOTH" is an EP that explores the contrasting emotions that arise in everyday life through Binx's unique perspective.

Blending hard-hitting Euro Hip Hop influences with sounds inspired by Osaka's techno scene, Binx combines intricate Japanese rap lyricism with emotional expression. The title "MATTE & SMOOTH" represents the duality of roughness and fluidity, impulse and composure.

All recording, mixing, and mastering for the project were handled by Binx, resulting in a fully self-produced work from creation to final polish.

The artwork was creatively directed by Binx. The title typography was designed by graffiti writer BARK, while the photographs used in the artwork were captured by photographer hiyori.d.

Building upon his previous sound while pushing into new territory, "MATTE & SMOOTH" presents a new artistic direction and a new style from Binx.
