SPC 024EP
Audion
, new alias of
Matthew Dear
, is back with his second EP,
The Pong
, follow up to the
Kisses
EP. "The Pong" is sheer dancefloor terror, all squelching horns and speaker cutting hats. With the trademark rising and falling action, as utilized in "Kisses," Audion brings brings dancefloors to a mental place. Equally punishing and oddly funky, this is techno with enough hardstep grandeur for any big room.

Catalog #:
SPC 033CD
Amidst the maelstrom of aliases adopted by Detroit's prodigious and prolific
Matthew Dear
,
Audion
is undoubtedly the grittiest -- a dark representation of Dear's id and a brain undone. The singles
Kisses
,
The Pong
, and
Just Fucking
have earned immense praise for their serrated approach to heavy 4/4 techno, bringing untamed synths and raucous beats into a devastating mélange. All three songs appear on the
Suckfish
full-length alongside eight other dancefloor burners that also work on the listening/psychedelic level, making for one of Dear's strongest and most distinctive releases to date. Alternately demonic and playful, much of
Suckfish
rides a wave of raw sexual energy, as on "Titty Fuck," which builds on a persistent pinprick melody, grimy oscillations and a massive, clacking beat. Elsewhere, the mumbling cinematics of "Weild" rise towards the domineering machinist blasts of "Taut," playing out like a high-strung psychological drama. With
Suckfish
, Matthew Dear frees the psychic energy from its social underpinnings and allows a new voice to prevail, permitting the music of his birth name to reach further into the electronic pop realms he carved out on 2003's widely-acclaimed
Leave Luck To Heaven
. By integrating the vital spirit of Detroit techno with a tangible sense of tension and release,
Suckfish
forges an indelible new path for heavy machine music.

Catalog #:
SPC 044EP
The seventh installment in
Matthew Dear
's dark reign as
Audion
features the deepest cuts yet. Like a doomsday machine in its death knell, "Noiser" subversively creeps forward, only to gain momentum and tear the club apart in its mayhem. "Fred's Bells" is a sign of progression into more subtle, but no less incendiary territory, echoing Audion's chart-topping remix for
Hot Chip
.

Catalog #:
SPC 060EP
Audion
spawns
Billy Says Go
-- the title track of which is absolutely contagious. A track of considerable depth and suspense, its rotating beats are trademark Audion with an eerie choir that is like the angel of death perched at your bedroom window. "Snap Into It" lets logic go on auto-pilot with its assertive hypnosis. "Against All Odds" creeps up like a shadowed stranger. Before you reach your front door, it's all buzzsaw ripping through bone and sinew. Devastating.

Catalog #:
SPC 077EP
Audion
(
Matthew Dear
) releases some sneak-peak tracks that are deeper and darker than ever before, while maintaining an irresistible, lose-your-mind edge. The title track is a polyrhythmic mishmash of clicks, clacks, and distant children's voices until a fleet of synthesizers produces waves of electronic noise. "Jukebox Hero" features soulful 808 claps while a pack of unruly computers lose their shit in the background. "On My Way To The Center" is menacing, honing its beef-slap kickdrum into a deadly weapon.

Push/I Am The Car
Label:
SPECTRAL SOUND
Format:
12"
Price:
$12.00
Catalog #:
SPC 083X-EP
Presenting a limited white label release by
Audion
(
Matthew Dear
). While many of Audion's previous singles showcase an obsession with restraint, "Push" runs in the opposite direction, with chugging rhythms, buoyant blips of keyboard, room-swallowing low-end, and waves of ecstatic climax. "I Am The Car" features reverb-submerged bass, microscopic electronic rhumba, and tendrils of dubby, spider-fingered melody. But its slow development is a long con, as Dear's pitch-black production grows more sinister and sexy with each passing minute.
