The revered DJ-Kicks DJ mix series will begin 2017 with Matthew Dear at the helm. The notable DJ/producer/co-founder of Ghostly International and Spectral Sound, who records under a slew of aliases including Audion, says, “There are snippets of friends and family strewn throughout the mix. A lot of the vocal interludes you hear are from a portable recorder I’ve carried with me over the years.”
Dear contributes three exclusive tracks — one under his own name and two as Audion — to the set due out January 27 featuring cuts by Matrixxmann, Randomer and Simian Mobile Disco.
“I wanted to create a mix that could be listened to anywhere, and reflect a little bit of everything that I play. Whether you’re in your car, preparing to open the club, or having a bottle of wine with friends at home, this mix is for you.”
