BeatTracker spotlights Mati Torres, Neuquén minimal grooves drive Shaking the Cuts EP

Neuquén is not the first city most minimal-tech heads name when they map the current underground, and that is exactly why Mati Torres stands out here. BeatTracker’s Minimal / Deep Tech chart put Shaking The Cuts EP at No. 2, and the record did not read like a generic club package. It arrived with a clear regional identity, tied to an Argentine artist from Neuquén whose sound was described through minimal grooves and immersive club energy, the kind of language that matters only when the music actually earns it.

Beatport listed Torres as a DJ / Producer - Minimal Deep Tech / House, and Shaking The Cuts EP landed on Sersa Records two weeks ago. That timing matters because it shows the release was still fresh while already climbing into the category conversation. Beatport also showed Torres had been building momentum beyond this EP, with recent and earlier catalog entries including Damn! on Rawsome Deep, released on 2026-03-27, plus Time to go, Above The Bassline EP, and My Mind.

The record’s draw came down to function as much as identity. Shaking the Cuts opened with crisp drums and a driving groove that set the pace immediately. Played Out kept the motion tight with a punchy, groove-led push, while Bass You closed on rolling low-end pressure and sparse textures that left room for the room to breathe. Beatport carried separate track pages for Shaking The Cuts and Bass You, underscoring that this was a real set tool, not just a title built for browsing.

That club utility was reinforced by the names already carrying it. Josh Baker, Dimmish, Ryan Resso, Louden, Chopper, Wildish, Jesse Maas, Mariche, Enzo Siragusa, and others were already attached to the record through support, which told its own story. For a minimal release, that kind of selector backing can mean more than a chart position: it means the cuts are already moving through booths and floors, where a clean kick, a tight loop, and a rolling bassline can do the work of a whole campaign.

What made Shaking The Cuts EP feel credible was the combination of place, production, and proof. Neuquén gave the project a real coordinate. The drums and low-end gave it a usable shape. The No. 2 chart placement gave it visibility. Together, they showed Mati Torres pushing Argentine minimal/deep tech into circulation on his own terms, from a city that is starting to feel closer to the center than the edges.
