Matthew Victor Kopp, who performs solo as 'Running Touch' was also the founding guitarist of legendary Australian nu metal band 'Ocean Grove', previously featured on PortMac.News.. 

Since the project’s inception in the mid-2010s, 'Running Touch' has become a mainstay of contemporary Australian electronic music.

'Running Touch' guested on Hayden James‘ 2018 single, ‘Better Together,’ which won the APRA Award for Most Performed Dance Work of the Year.

His 2019 single, ‘When I’m Around You,’ has racked up a quarter of a billion streams and gained ARIA Platinum accreditation.

The run up to Carmine has stretched out for two years.

Kopp preceded the album with a slew of singles, including ‘Juno,’ ‘My Hands,’ ‘Signs,’ ‘Meet Me,’ ‘Why Do I,’ ‘Ceilings,’ and ‘Come With Me.’

In a statement, Kopp said he’s been chipping away at the album for a much longer time.

“In retrospect… a lot more than 3 years went into this album. 10 years of making music funnelled through one record.” Kopp continued,

“Although this has taken 3 years to make it feels like the start! Things finally feel as though they’ve come together; I already can’t wait for the next chapter.”
