Audion

Audion is the name used by DJ/producer/songwriter Matthew Dear when he feels like making or playing dark, hard techno given to methodical beats and relentless corkscrewing sounds. He's done a lot of impressive work in his Audion guise, including a slew of EPs released this year, and now he's out on a stint dubbed the "Hecatomb Tour," featuring a new live set he's honed on the road in Europe. Expect lots of good, juicy disorientation.
