We finally got all the details for the upcoming Matthew Dear show and can't wait for the days to pass. Inspired by Detroit techno the man is a techno, minimal and underground master. This guy is the complete electronic package.
You could throw around generous descriptors and any number of genre-locking terms "electronic pop, minimal house, acid techno" but you'd still fail to get to the nucleus of Matthew Dear. Releasing tracks under three aliases, including False (M_NUS), Jabberjaw (Perlon), and Audion (Spectral Sound), the Texas native has earned his international status over the course of a decade, getting his bearings on the DJ decks as a teenager to flooring sold-out crowds at famed venue Fabric in London.
Dear's first album Leave Luck to Heaven appeared in 2003 and was praised widely as a seminal fusion of pop and minimal techno. Heaven brought us the insanely popular single "Dog Days" which made it to the decks of famed DJs like Richie Hawtin. More recently Matthew Dear released Asa Breed (2007) which celebrates his pop sensibilities and personal song-writing style utilizing rock instrumentation. Needless to say you will not want to miss this show. For musical reference enjoy some of the selected tracks below. Matthew Dear is spinning live Saturday August 16th @ Boutique Lounge. Boutique is located at directly behind Pawn Shop Lounge on the Corner of NE 13th Street & 1st Court. Downtown Miami.

I have seen him twice as Audion (The District and I/O) and I really wish he would have brought his Big Hands tour down here in support of Asa Breed. Oh well...
