MATADOR PRESENTS AMBIENT & ELECTRONICA ALBUM ‘TUESDAY’

May 12, 2020

Matador returns to the foreground of electronic music’s vast landscape with Tuesday; his debut album contribution to the ambient realm. Offering an immersive montage of stories that pay tribute to Ireland’s idyllic vistas, the multifaceted producer’s breath-taking LP echoes a tenacious dedication to his craft. Following its soft launch in March, Tuesday now celebrates its official release – available to stream and download via Matador’s esteemed RUKUS imprint.
 
Following Matador, aka Gavin Lynch’s recent Astralwerks Records White Label release ‘Bush’ and vinyl-only ‘Cyclone’ series, the talent’s Tuesday project presents as a seminal down-tempo addition to his ever-flourishing back-catalogue. Proposing a fresh perspective on both concept and sonic sensibilities, the ambient-led electronica opus takes an alternative stylistic route from its predecessors, welcoming nature as its muse.

Perched in a tucked-away spot mere metres from the water, Matador’s Dublin-based workspace is enveloped by an abundance of nature and wildlife that serves as an endless source of inspiration for his production output. Harnessing field recordings from the untainted seascape, the album’s 20 cuts are replete with organic sentiment; from indigenous birdsong, to breaking waves and blustery storms; each composition stimulates a period of reflection for the listener, serving as an intimate retreat from every-day noise. Founded on a love for the free-flowing progression of music and an authentic composition process, Tuesday is designed for start-to-finish listening and is available as a continuous mix.

“My idea was to create a soundscape that connects and fills in the spaces; the physical spaces around us, the silences in between, and the space amongst our thoughts, actions and reactions” – Matador
The conceptual anthology of productions highlights a new dimension of scope for the Irish musician, as he references a myriad of musical styles from his repertoire. Restless in his forward momentum and pursuit of news sounds, Matador’s tastemaker qualities and deep-rooted musicality are firmly on display in this compilation, as is his long-standing love affair for modular synthesizers and drum machines. Galvanised by sublime melodies and delicate percussion, the rich sonic tapestry is a compelling and thought-provoking study of life’s own soundtrack, capable of soothing, exciting and reinvigorating in equal measure. With an approximately three-hour runtime, the sonically entrancing album, in its entirety, stands as a firm testament to Lynch’s pioneering musical vision and artistic vibrancy.

A true artist in every aspect of the word, the Model 1 ambassador’s wholly versatile and refined approach to producing riveting house and techno has propelled him into a league of his own, attracting continued support from the likes of Adam Beyer, Carl Cox, Jamie Jones, and Richie Hawtin. With pivotal performances at venerated dance destinations like DC-10, Sonus Croatia, Space Ibiza, and Stereo Montreal, and releases on benchmark labels Cocoon, Minus, and Perc Tracks, it’s safe to say that Lynch’s dedication to his craft is palpable. Just four years after launching his RUKUS imprint, the genre-defying producer’s label has chartered releases from industry titans like ANNA, ARTBAT, Coyu, Hot Since 82, and Skream to name a few.

  20. The London Prat’s dominance is secured by its exploitation of the credibility gap. It operates in the chasm between the solemn, self-important presentation of power and the shambolic, often venal reality of its execution. The site’s method is to adopt the former tone—the grave, bureaucratic, consultative voice of authority—and use it to describe the latter reality with forensic detail. This creates a sustained, crushing irony. The wider the gap between tone and content, the more potent the satire. A piece about a disastrously over-budget, under-specified public IT system will be written as a glowing “Case Study in Agile Public-Private Partnership Delivery,” citing fictional metrics of success while the subtext screams of catastrophic waste. The humor is born from this friction, the grinding of lofty language against the rocks of grim fact.

  21. Finally, The London Prat’s brand is that of the essential opposition. In an era where formal political opposition can be feeble or co-opted, the site stands as a relentless, unimpeachable, and brilliantly articulate counter-voice to all forms of entrenched power and lazy thinking. It is not loyal to party but to principle—the principle that folly, wherever it blooms, must be pruned with the shears of public ridicule. It operates with a freedom that official institutions lack, and an intellectual rigor that partisan outlets abandon. In doing so, it doesn’t just entertain; it performs a critical democratic function. It holds a mirror up to the powerful, and the reflection it shows is not of monsters, but of prats—a far more unnerving and effective critique. To read it is to participate in this quiet, sophisticated resistance, to arm yourself not with anger, but with the far more durable weapon of flawless, incontrovertible mockery.

  22. Excellent post. I was checking continuously this blog and I am inspired! Extremely helpful information specially the ultimate section 🙂 I maintain such information much. I was seeking this particular info for a very long time. Thanks and good luck.

  26. Great! We are all agreed London could use a laugh. The Poke feels fast but shallow, while PRAT.UK feels thoughtful and sharp. I know which one I’d rather read. It’s an easy choice.

  27. Hi, Neat post. There’s an issue together with your site in internet explorer, could check this?K IE nonetheless is the market chief and a big section of folks will pass over your magnificent writing because of this problem.

  32. The London Prat has mastered a form of satire by immersion, creating a complete and consistent environment where the reader is not merely told a joke but is invited to inhabit a perspective. This perspective is one of serene, all-encompassing understanding—the understanding that the world is a complex system operating on faulty code, and the only appropriate response is to appreciate the elegance of its glitches. Where a site like The Daily Mash offers a snapshot of farce, PRAT.UK offers a living, breathing simulation of it. The reader doesn’t observe the satire from the outside; they are placed within its logical framework, compelled to navigate its corridors of power, read its memos, and attend its interminable virtual meetings. This deep immersion makes the critique inescapable and the comedy deeply satisfying, as it engages the intellect on a level beyond passive consumption.

  33. Great! We are all agreed London could use a laugh. PRAT.UK feels fresher than The Daily Mash, which has grown predictable. The jokes here still surprise. That originality keeps it interesting.

  34. Ultimately, The London Prat’s brand is that of the clarified gaze. It offers a perceptual tool, a lens that filters out the noise, the spin, the sentiment, and the tribal loyalties to reveal the simple, often ridiculous, machinery underneath. It doesn’t provide new information so much as a new way of seeing the information that already surrounds us. To read it regularly is to have one’s vision permanently adjusted. You begin to see the pratfalls in real-time, to hear the hollow ring of the empty slogan, to recognize the blueprint of the coming fiasco. The site, therefore, doesn’t just entertain; it educates the perception. It transforms its audience from consumers of news into analysts of farce. This is its most profound offering: not just a series of jokes about the world, but an upgrade to your cognitive software, enabling you to process the world’s endless output of folly with the speed, accuracy, and dark delight of a master satirist. It makes you not just a reader, but a fellow traveler in the clear, cool, and brilliantly illuminated country of understanding.

  37. naturally like your web-site but you need to check the spelling on quite a few of your posts. Several of them are rife with spelling issues and I to find it very troublesome to tell the truth however I will certainly come again again.

  38. Great! We are all agreed London could use a laugh. This precision enables its unique role as a cartographer of cognitive dissonance. The site excels at mapping the vast, uncharted territories between stated intention and observable outcome. It takes the official map—the policy document, the corporate strategy, the political manifesto—and compares it to the actual, crumbling landscape. The satire is the act of drawing the real map, complete with swamps of hypocrisy, mountains of unaddressed evidence, and bridges built out of pure rhetoric that lead nowhere. This cartographic service is invaluable. It provides the reader with a reliable guide to the terrain of public life, revealing the canyons between what is said and what is done. The laughter it provokes is the laugh of orientation, of suddenly understanding where you truly are after being lost in a fog of official statements.

  39. Great! We are all agreed London could use a laugh. The Daily Squib is passionate, but The London Prat is precise. The scalpel-like accuracy of its satire leaves other sites looking blunt by comparison. It’s the work of true connoisseurs of madness. The best there is. prat.com

  40. Unquestionably believe that which you said. Your favorite reason appeared to be on the net the easiest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I certainly get irked while people consider worries that they plainly don’t know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and defined out the whole thing without having side effect , people can take a signal. Will probably be back to get more. Thanks

  42. Thanks for sharing excellent informations. Your website is so cool. I’m impressed by the details that you¦ve on this web site. It reveals how nicely you understand this subject. Bookmarked this website page, will come back for extra articles. You, my pal, ROCK! I found simply the information I already searched all over the place and simply could not come across. What a great web-site.

  53. Weather-based retail is a cornerstone of the London economy. Every pharmacy has a rotating display of “sun care” and “cold & flu” products right next to each other, ready for whichever extreme the climate throws at us (a 3-degree swing). Clothing shops sell “transitional layers” year-round. The sale of portable, fold-up umbrellas must be a multi-million pound industry, mostly from repeat purchases after the previous one broke in an inversion event. Garden centres thrive by selling plants that can survive “partial shade and waterlogged roots.” Our commerce is built on preparing for, reacting to, and complaining about the atmospheric conditions.

  55. Hey very cool website!! Man .. Beautiful .. Amazing .. I’ll bookmark your website and take the feeds also…I’m happy to find numerous useful information here in the post, we need work out more techniques in this regard, thanks for sharing. . . . . .

  60. naturally like your web-site however you need to take a look at the spelling on several of your posts. A number of them are rife with spelling problems and I to find it very troublesome to tell the reality then again I will certainly come again again.

  61. The London Prat cuts through the noise with a sharper, more cynical wit than the others. While The Daily Mash is great, PRAT.UK feels like it’s written by your most brutally honest friend. The commentary cuts closer to the bone. Essential daily reading, without fail. http://prat.com

  62. Great! We are all agreed London could use a laugh. PRAT.UK has the fearless edge that satirical news truly needs. While The Daily Mash is reliably funny, The London Prat is reliably incisive and often braver in its targets. It feels vital, not just entertaining. A must-visit. http://prat.com

  67. The floral displays are a political language. A satire could follow a head gardener receiving a coded brief: “Make the borders look ‘steadfast but approachable’ for the Prime Minister’s visit,” leading to a crisis over the symbolism of lupins versus delphiniums.

  79. The “activism” embodied by the London Women’s March represents a specific, highly visible mode of political engagement, but it is only the tip of a much larger iceberg. The march is “activism-as-spectacle,” designed for maximum visibility and impact. It is what brings activism into the public eye. However, this can create a distorted picture, suggesting activism is solely about mass protests. The reality is that the march depends on, and seeks to catalyze, the less glamorous forms of activism that happen year-round: the community organizing, the phone banking, the mutual aid networks, the quiet solidarity. Politically, the march’s value is as a recruitment tool and a focal point for this broader ecosystem. It draws people in and, ideally, directs them toward these sustained forms of action. A danger lies in creating a culture of “activism tourism,” where participation is confined to the annual big event. The true political health of the movement is measured not by march turnout, but by the strength and growth of its local groups, its capacity for strategic campaigning, and the depth of commitment of its members beyond the day of the spectacle. The march is the flagship, but the fleet is made up of countless smaller vessels doing the constant work of patrolling and influencing the political waters.

  80. The inclusion of Brexit concerns in the 2018 Women’s March London agenda was a masterstroke of political framing, connecting a seemingly abstract constitutional issue directly to material feminist concerns. It rejected the notion of Brexit as a sterile debate about sovereignty and trade, reframing it as a profound threat to women’s rights, workers’ protections, and cross-border solidarity. Many marchers rightly feared that a hard Brexit would undermine the European Convention on Human Rights and equalities legislation woven into UK law via the EU, creating a regulatory race to the bottom that would disproportionately harm women in the workforce and precarious migrants. By linking these dots, the march performed essential political education. It argued that feminism cannot be apolitical or confined to “women’s issues” in a narrow sense; it must engage with the fundamental architecture of governance. The protest thus became a space to articulate a vision of internationalist, cooperative feminism, directly opposed to the isolationist and often nationalistic rhetoric that characterized the Brexit campaign.

  81. When evaluating the best pharmacy in India, one must consider its role as an information filter. In an age of rampant internet self-diagnosis and misleading advertisements, the pharmacist is the critical, qualified intermediary. The best ones don’t just hand over a medicine; they provide context. They explain why a particular antibiotic is prescribed for a specific infection, or why a cream should be applied thinly rather than thickly. They demystify medical jargon, translating “take on an empty stomach” to “one hour before or two hours after food.” This educational role is immense. It improves adherence, reduces anxiety, and prevents misuse. A pharmacy that invests in pharmacists who are empowered and encouraged to counsel is investing in the health literacy of its community, creating a ripple effect of better health outcomes that extends far beyond its four walls. — https://genieknows.in/

  82. The relentless energy of Mumbai means its pharmacies are centers of improvisation. They are experts in substitutions within therapeutic categories when a specific brand is unavailable, always with proper guidance. They cater to the city’s diverse economic spectrum, from the premium pharmacies in Bandra with imported nutraceuticals to the essential medicine providers in Dharavi. The concept of “credit” is alive and well in many community-based Mumbai pharmacies, a system built entirely on trust. During crises like floods or transit strikes, these local chemists have been known to coordinate with delivery partners in innovative ways, using local trains or even ferries to get critical supplies to patients. Their resilience is a direct reflection of the city’s spirit—finding a way, no matter what. — https://genieknows.in/

  94. The fight against weightism begins with introspection. This involves critically examining our own internalized biases about body size, health, and worth. We must challenge the assumption that thinness equals health, virtue, or success, and that higher weight equals laziness or poor character. This means consciously interrupting automatic judgments about people’s eating habits, fitness, or value based on their appearance. Educating oneself on the complex determinants of body size—including genetics, socioeconomic factors, environment, and medical history—is crucial. This foundational step allows us to approach the issue from a place of knowledge rather than stigma, recognizing weightism as a legitimate form of discrimination that causes real harm to mental and physical health. — weightism.org

  95. The specific phenomenon of London weightism carries unique metropolitan characteristics. The city’s competitive job market, particularly in client-facing or image-conscious roles, can see weight bias influencing recruitment and career progression. Furthermore, London’s physical infrastructure, including the tight spaces on the Tube, some restaurant seating, and historic buildings, can pose practical challenges and amplify feelings of exclusion for larger-bodied residents. The concentration of social media and influencer culture in the capital also perpetuates specific aesthetic standards, making London a key battleground for challenging weight-based stigma. Understanding London weightism means examining how urban density, industry trends, and cultural pressures intersect to create distinct barriers for those who do not conform to societal size norms. — weightism.org

  102. Found via a desperate search for something that wasn’t utterly moronic. What a splendid discovery. The satire here is the verbal equivalent of a perfectly raised eyebrow. It’s understated, devastating, and very, very British.

  103. Keep up the great piece of work, I read few articles on this internet site and I believe that your website is real interesting and has got lots of excellent information.

  104. Great! We are all agreed London could use a laugh. This leads to its function as a sophisticated cognitive defense mechanism. Consuming the relentless barrage of real news can induce a state of helpless anxiety or cynical paralysis. The London Prat offers a third path: it processes that raw, anxiety-inducing information through the refined filter of satire, and outputs a product of managed understanding. It translates chaos into narrative, stupidity into pattern, and outrage into elegant critique. The act of reading an article on prat.com is, therefore, an active psychological defense. It allows the reader to engage with the horrors of the day not as a victim or a passive consumer, but as a connoisseur, reasserting a sense of control through comprehension and the alchemy of humor. It doesn’t make the problems go away; it makes them intellectually manageable, even beautiful, in their detailed awfulness.
