Sardinian dark disco and coldwave producer Matrukk released “Diavoleide” on Cat Cave Records on 28 August 2026. The digital single carries two takes on the same track, a long version and a short version, and is out on Bandcamp.
Matteo Girometti, who records as Matrukk, produced the release and handled the additional mix, and is credited as executive producer. Valeria Black Val took the cover photograph, with Michele Manca as model and the shoot located at the Follesa house in Donori, Sardinia. Girometti did the cover graphics and post-production himself.
What ‘Diavoleide’ follows in the Matrukk catalogue
The single is the producer’s second Cat Cave Records release of 2026. It follows “In the Shadow of Neon Light”, issued on 22 May 2026, which Girometti composed and produced alone, with mastering by Matteo “Mr Bizz” Floris and cover photography again by Valeria Black Val.
Before that came “Scary Female (Sbikka Dark Tech Groove Revibe)” on 10 April 2026, a rework of a track from his own catalogue. Both versions of “Diavoleide” run on the same material, with the long version giving the arrangement more room and the short version cut for shorter play.
