Prolific producer Matthew Edward Barnes has received acclaim for his boundary-pushing electronic music since 2010 — with his many career accolades laid out by The Quietus in a review for his newest album, 2023's Bolted. Between then and now, he has scored film, ballet and video games. Once a face of 2010s post-dubstep producers, Barnes is today a leader in his field and unbeholden to genre constraints.
