DJ-Kicks The Exclusives Vol. 3

Wrong With Us (DJ-Kicks)

Sweetheartserge crafts a sonic universe that defies genres, blending house, techno, electro, darkwave, synthpop, and gothic post-punk into a unique mosaic of alternative electronica. His music radiates Lo-Fi Cold Wave, Acid Techno, 80s synth nostalgia, and New Wave, creating layered and cinematic soundscapes.

With dynamic structures and shifts between ambient calm and high-energy intensity, his tracks captivate listeners through deep acid basslines, lush synth pads, and crisp breakbeat rhythms. Haunting ambient textures and intricate arpeggios evoke tension, mystery, and electrifying momentum.

Technically meticulous, Sweetheartserge’s compositions feature TB-303-style basslines, complex chords, and atmospheric effects, crafting immersive soundscapes. His futuristic, avant-garde vibe invites listeners on meditative journeys, rhythmic escapes, and artistic storytelling adventures, pushing the boundaries of sound.

Depending on whom you ask, Matthew Dear is a DJ, a dance-music producer, an experimental pop artist, a bandleader. He was the founding artist on both Ghostly International and its dancefloor offshoot, Spectral Sound. He’s had remixes commissioned by The XX, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Spoon, Hot Chip, The Postal Service, and Chemical Brothers; he’s made mixes for the Fabric mix series and Get Physical’s Body Language. He maintains four aliases (Audion, False, Jabberjaw, and Matthew Dear), each with its own style and distinct visual identity. He straddles multiple musical worlds and belongs to none—and he’s just hitting his stride.
