Hey Y’all,
The show at Public Assembly the other night was great. A warm crowd, a good feeling in the room… I had the full band with me and we were just going all out and having fun. Thankfully the sound man was nice enough to make a little live recording so now I can share it with you (for the folks that couldn’t make it out).
Hope you enjoy! See you there next time…
Hey y’all,
I’m back. Literally. I’m back from a week in Tulum and it was fantastic. Feeling brand new and recharged… More on that later, but in the meantime I’ve been making some changes and improvements around here, and what with all the newness I thought it was high time to hit y’all off with some new music.
So here you go. A new song, “Guess Who’s Back?” I wrote it over Jay Z’s “Public Service Announcement” (originally produced by Just Blaze). Enjoy. Let me know what you think. Play it for your friends. “Like” it on Facebook. Whatever is that you do.
More soon…
LOVELOVELOVE,
M
Tonight I’m going to be making an appearance in the House of Beni, performing our song “Someone Just Like You” live. It’s a Scion AV party and it’s at White Rabbit (145 E Houston). I think it’s free? I don’t know if you gotta RSVP or not, I’ll try and find out more and update this…
By the way, for those of y’all who never heard it, here’s the track we did. Hope you enjoy!
Merry Xmas Y’all!
I’ve been super busy with the live show all December and for that and a couple other reasons didn’t make a new Christmas song this year. But I think enough people didn’t hear the one I did last year that I thought I’d put it up again for you here (both versions).
So have a listen, open some presents, drink some mulled wine, watch the Knicks beat the Celtics, whatever raises your Christmas spirit. Enjoy the holiday!
XOXO,
M
I’m a bit behind on this one too.
8 days ago Modular put up a stream of the track that I did with Beni “Someone Just Like You” so now here it is for you. Seems like it will be released as a single…
Beni featuring Mattie Safer - Someone Just Like You by modularpeople
It was a fun record to make. It was in the middle of a huge snow storm in NYC. My old studio was on the 16th floor with great views of the Hudson. Don’t get me wrong, it was a dump but it did have lots of windows, a reasonably unique feature for most New York spots.
There’s all kinds of crazy remixes and stuff… (I thought there was news on it here: http://www.modularpeople.com/news/stream-beni-someone-just-like-you/10034.html but there isn’t. Sorry!)
Don’t know if they’ll be making a video for this or not and if so if they’ll do me dirty like this:
Anyway, hope you enjoy the track! Let me know what you think…
Some of the more of astute among you might have noticed that I had a record come out yesterday over in the UK. A collaboration I did with my good old friend Ben Rymer and his production duo Jam Factory. This is their, 3rd release and the song is called “One Night Stand.” Listen to some snippets below…
I can’t remember why I was there but for some reason I was staying in London at the Rymer’s flat. It was shortly after I had left the group. We were hanging out and a bit bored so we decided to make a track. The whole thing took about 3 days from writing to final conception. Over the course of 2 years it was mixed and remixed by many folks (I think the remix EP is on the way) and now it’s available for you to go buy… I’m pretty sure it’s vinyl only though for y’all digital types… Trendy London fucks… :) Maybe someone will pick up the license on it though and we’ll get a digi-release?
More music on the way soon! Originals (the long awaited “Future Gospel Sound” mixtape is FINISHED) and another collaboration, this one with everyone’s favorite Antipodean BENI! Should be a great summer…

PARIS WAS A BLAST. We were there for just under a week. I got to do so much cool sh*t and see so many wonderful things, see friends, play a concert at the beautiful Social Club, do a performance on the radio… It was the best. Truly a wonderful time and I’m so thankful for the opportunity. I’ll be back! Below are some videos from the gig at Social Club…
AND HERE ARE SOME PHOTOS… around Montmartre, at the Louvre, at Social Club, at the Eiffel Tower… A little bit of everything, all photos as usual taken by my beautiful fiancee, Vivian Corado…

This past Monday I did a live acoustic set on the Laura Leishman Project on Le Mouv Radio (France). It was a really great time and a wonderful opportunity and I thank them for it. It was just me and a guitar player (the wonderful Bogue, for those of you who want to know). We did 3 songs.
If you want to hear the whole thing with interviews and all you can go to this link, and scroll into about the 1 hour mark and that’s where my segment begins:
