“Mateo is no longer touring. As much of a target for undesirable comments forthcoming sentence may be, I’m goin for it!
Touring is very very very hard. We’ve been doing it like its going out of style for 7 years (minus 1 temporary pause for lid repair).
We remain very close, we remain writing partners, and we remain Madina.
As for him, he’s making music w his bro, and exploring other adventures , which no doubt, will be fantastic. so stay plugged into him, in a non literal sense.”

In response to the fans, they also said:
“Yes we are still writing together, just not touring together” and
“Also, thanks for all of your words. To happily support both parties is a clear indication that we have the classiest, and Most genuine friends / supporters / family, a band could dream of. Thank you for that”

“my dear friends:
I am writing to let you know that I am no longer part of madina lake. my time has come to end this cycle of my life.
Interestingly enough, if you are familiar with the theory of the 7 year cycles, i have been in madina for exactly 7 years.
Madina will go on. The four of us made some important music and I hope you continue to support them artistically and emotionally.

As far as im concerned, Im gonna keep making music forever and ever. Soon Im gonna release a record I just finished with my lil sis and bro, very electronic. This will come as no surprise  for those of you who know my taste in music. I am also gonna start producing/recording/mixing bands full time so dont hesitate to hit me up if you wanna work with me.  (mateocamargo@hotmail.com)

mucho love
