Schmoov! have released their music on labels such as DiY Discs, Paper Recordings, and Winding Road Records.  Their ‘While You Wait’ album exploded everywhere from San Francisco to Berlin, Australia and London.  It was album of the month in Loaded (5/5), iDJ (5/5), and Wax (9.5/10) - and selected as album of the year in Penthouse (ahem!).

The Schmoov! remix of aMillionSons’ ‘Misti Blu’ was ranked by David Mancuso as # 1 in his ‘Loft’ chart at the time, and was subsequently released on Pete Tong’s London Records, featuring the vocals of a nice lady called Chaka Khan.

Schmoov! supported Groove Armada on their ‘Goodbye Countryside’ LP tour, playing at sold-out major venues such as London’s Shepherds Bush Empire and Brixton Academy.  Schmoov! have also graced the main stage at the Big Chill festival on the peaktime Saturday afternoon set, and performed at the Garden Festival in Croatia, and have been regularly booked to play live in Poland, Prague, Singapore, Holland, Norway, France, and Germany.

Schmoov! recently performed at the packed-out 30th birthday party of Nottingham free-party heroes DiY, rocking the dancefloor with live versions of their well-known classics blended with new and unreleased (and maybe unreleasable) original tracks: https://vimeo.com/377981293/af69cf39c9

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.
