Avalon

One of Avalon’s underground residents, Matthew Dear, is anything but in the world of dance music. You could throw around generous descriptors and any number of genre-locking terms; electronic pop, minimal house, acid techno. But you'd still fail to get to the center of Matthew Dear. With releases under no fewer than four aliases, including False (M_NUS), Jabberjaw (Perlon), and Audion (Spectral Sound), the Texas native has earned his international status over the course of a decade, getting his bearings on the DJ decks as a teenager to flooring sold-out crowds at venues like Fabric, and releasing universally praised original productions. Pop influenced albums like ‘Leave Luck to Heaven’ sit comfortably on his discography alongside dark warehouse anthems from his chart topping ‘Mouth to Mouth’ as Audion. One of the brightest talents working today in dance music.
