Sonar has held a special place in my heart for the past decade. We have grown together and they have invited me to perform many times at integral points in my career. This year I brought two performances to Sonar. The first was my Audion Subverticul Live show at Sonar By Day, and the second was a DJ set at Sonar By Night. The DJ set was captured in full live format, with microphones on the crowd and a final mix done on the house console by Sonar's incredible engineers. I'm happy to present this DJ set to you now in all it's glory. Relive the energy of Sonar By Night over and over again.

'Wrong With Us' came about in a frenzied session with Simian Mobile Disco at their studio in the English countryside. We started with some modular synths and went from there adding vocals, drums and other odd ends. In the end, we finished four songs in four days, and I couldn't have been happier with the results.

It's a reflection on the state of the world we live in today.

Matthew Dear - Dog Days

Goa in Rome is one of my favorite places to play. It's like playing in a beautiful private home, but with one of the deepest and cleanest sound systems out there. The night before this show I had played with Todd Bodine of Highgrade Records. I thoroughly enjoyed everything he played, so a lot of this mix is an homage to the label.

Straight from the desk of LIFEKING Studios, comes this superquick flash in the pan mix up johnnny style showcase of some new tunes I'm working on. Far from finished. far from incomplete. No fear. Resist nada. I used a pencil sharpener and a colonial feather pen to print the mix. EQThree is the place to be, sound quality don't bother me. Grab it, share it, spread it, tweak it. i DON'T GIVE a.

Live jams and computer renders into a quick mix. No midi controllers were harmed in the making of this film. Mouse with a louse and click bait stew. Audion Live Sunday night at 6pm. The internet lives on forever and ever. Catch me on the flip side, sunny side up.

Matthew Dear - Modafinil Blues

Modafinil Blues finds Matthew Dear four years removed from his last LP and lost in the low-hanging gloam of Topanga Canyon. The producer and pop auteur wrote it there in the evening hours with Troy Nōka, a longtime Frank Ocean collaborator. The song hints at conceptual roadblocks requiring more than a simple or single solution; the manifestation of a meteoric spike in cognitive function, yearning for some form of collective freedom, followed by the inevitable descent into the complexity of the fix. Dear’s baritone verse acknowledges that this existential arc is flawed, and therein lies the blues. Moody and nuanced, slightly undone and hugging the curves of the canyon; a polyrhythmic glissade through cerebral fog.

I have been a fan of Tegan and Sara since first hearing 'Walking With A Ghost'. My interest was greater piqued with their album Heartthrob. I sent a message that I loved it to find out they were fans of mine. This led to a remix and a collaboration on a Tears For Fears cover in 2013. The connection was made, and we discussed future collaborations. When working on new songs I had them in mind. I had a loop for 'Bad Ones' and thought they'd be great on it. Tegan and Sara eagerly accepted the challenge to write more, so I sent it over. Practically overnight, they returned with the verse and the chorus, written from scratch over my loop. I spent the next month working on it, turning a demo into a full-fledged song. Working with Tegan and Sara reminds me the best songs are born from an open and free process. Often times, we need to get out of our own way to let the magic happen, and this song is a bold reminder of that.
