“Matthew Dear is back in Ladyland and acting as Resident DJ this week! He releases his first album in six years and the new single “Bunny’s Dream” is a firm favourite of Nemone’s.
Matthew moved from Texas to Michigan as a teenager, where he was inspired by the sound of Detroit Techno. He met Sam Valenti IV at a party while attending the University of Michigan, and the two started the record label, Ghostly International, based on a shared love of electronic music. Dear’s first single was 1999’s “Hands Up For Detroit” (co-produced by ghettotech pioneer Disco D, who performed under the name Daisha). His first album Leave Luck to Heaven appeared in 2003 and was praised widely as a seminal fusion of pop and minimal techno. The album’s single “Dog Days” became one of Spectral’s best sellers and a favourite of international DJs like Richie Hawtin. Matthew has also worked under the harder-edged alias Audion, as well as monikers False and Jabberjaw.
Nemone hand-picks a brilliant selection of tracks reflecting the bleeps, beeps, and breaks of dance music over five decades.”
