It was ten years ago that the world fell in love with Turbo Kid, and part of what made that small-scale, cult classic an underground worldwide phenomenon was the incredible musical accompaniment. An exceptional powerhouse of synthesizer alchemy, Le Matos brings a very cinematic approach to their compositions.
