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’ with Skrillex, Flowdan, and G-Rex speaks for itself, boasting 5.7 million Spotify streams and global acclaim. Further solidifying his position is the collaboration with dubstep giants Zeds Dead on the second single, ‘Scared’.
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.
