Emerging from the vibrant musical backdrop of Detroit, the groundbreaking left-field bass music pioneer, PEEKABOO—known offstage as Matthew Lucas—is ecstatic to unveil his debut album, ‘Eyes Wide Open’.
Lucas, celebrated for his pulsating 140 BPM bass drops, evocative laughter sound effects, and an electrifying vision embodied by his emblematic logo, has firmly positioned himself as a titan within the genre.
The success of “Badders ft. Skrillex, Flowdan, and G-Rex” speaks for itself, boasting 5.7 million Spotify streams and global acclaim, including nods from Billboard and Stereogum. Further solidifying his position is the collaboration with dubstep giants Zeds Dead on the second single, “Scared.” ‘Eyes Wide Open’, set for a November 3rd release, represents PEEKABOO’s innovative spirit and profound musical bond.
Growing up in a home echoing with his father’s trumpet melodies from the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, Lucas’s musical journey pivoted after encountering Skrillex’s “Kill Everybody” during a gaming session. This early inspiration has now metamorphosed into collaborations that form the backbone of his debut album.
‘Eyes Wide Open’ signifies PEEKABOO’s musical journey, diverging from the mainstream and resonating with his authentic roots. Standout tracks like “I’ve Been Thinking” and “You Got Me” demonstrate his adaptive style, with the latter culminating in his father’s evocative trumpet notes. “Music Box” revisits the atmospheric vibes that marked his grassroots festival beginnings, while anticipated tracks “Like Dat” with LYNY, and “Ear Candy” alongside Michigan’s Sully, underscore his avant-garde approach to bass music. Most recently, fans were treated to “Sleepwalk,” a testament to PEEKABOO’s mastery of 140 dubstep and a compelling prelude to the sonic treasures awaiting in ‘Eyes Wide Open’.
With accolades from a Grammy-nominated collaboration with Marshmello and joint ventures with industry leaders like Skrillex, PEEKABOO’s stellar ascent in the musical universe is evident. Endorsements from powerhouses Skrillex, Zeds Dead, Marshmello, and Liquid Stranger further elevate his standing in EDM.
PEEKABOO’s motivations go beyond just commercial triumphs. He’s deeply passionate about creating melodies that truly resonate and fostering a genuine bond with his loyal followers. ‘Eyes Wide Open’ isn’t merely an album; it’s an open invitation to navigate unexplored sonic terrains, penned by one of North America’s electronic music trailblazers.
