Matthew Dear & his Bulldog Arthur RusseLl Location: at home in Williamsburg, NYC
DJ, producer, experimental pop artist and band leader, Mathew Dear straddles multiple musical worlds and belongs to none. He has four aliases : Audion, False, Jabberjaw and of course Matthew Dear, each with its own style and distinct visual identity. After over a decade of exploring pop’s outer limits, his fourth LP, the dark and playful ‘Black City’, was released last year on Ghostly International. Respected by his peers and blessed with a bottomless well of creative energy, he continues to push the limits of both dance music and pop. www.matthewdear.com
