It's a bit like Dr Jeckyll & Mr Hyde, but in music.

Mateo Relief is the happy, rhythmic side & MISTER X5, the darker, more melancholy side.

Introduced to music at an early age, Matthieu listened to Jean Michel Jarre, Krafwerk, Brian Eno, Klaus Schulze and many others thanks to his music-loving father.

He discovered the world of synthesizers and sampling on his own, and fell in love with it.

In 2003, he created the character of MISTER X5, whose style is "Dark Ambient Experimental".

Under the name MISTER X5, he released two albums, including one with cyberpunk artist Kenji Siratori on a German netlabel.

Also influenced by "Detroit Techno" & the WARP label, Matthieu starts composing more nervous tracks & He enjoys it & performs under the name "Mateo Relief".
