Le Matos is a Canadian electronic music duo hailing from Montreal, Quebec, known for their unique blend of synthwave, electro, and film score-inspired sounds. Composed of Jean-Philippe Bernier and Jean-Nicolas Leupi, Le Matos has been crafting their distinctive soundscapes since their formation in 2007. Their music often feels like a cinematic journey, paying homage to the pulsating rhythms and nostalgic synth melodies reminiscent of the 80s era, yet infused with a modern edge that keeps their compositions fresh and captivating.

The duo has gained notable recognition for their work on movie soundtracks, particularly in the realm of indie films. One of their most critically acclaimed contributions is the score for "Turbo Kid," which resulted in the release of the soundtrack album "Rise of Turbo Kid." They continued building their impressive portfolio with projects like the "Summer of '84" soundtrack, evoking a haunting atmosphere that perfectly complemented the film's throwback to classic 80s horror. Aside from soundtracks, Le Matos has also released a significant number of remixes and original albums, such as "Join Us" and its subsequent remix collections. With their music, Le Matos not only captures the essence of a period but creates a timeless audio experience that resonates with listeners from all walks of life.
