Bleep

15 years, 5 albums and 20 EPs under his belt, it’s hard to believe that the multi-talented Matthew Dear has never held the DJ Kicks controls before.

The critically acclaimed DJ Kicks series is known for giving talented DJs space to explore sounds that their club sets might not allow and Matthew Dear, aka Audion aka Jabberjaw, has got the wide-reaching musical influences to make this compilation a work of art. Artists ranging from Nils Frahm and Italojohnson to Simian Mobile Disco and Pearson Sound, Dear’s DJ Kicks is a smooth builder through minimal, analogue house and scratchy techno, punctuated with his own haunting vocals.
