Matthew Dear and Daniel Bortz: Party Preview
Matthew Dear is a techno chameleon. A producer, a DJ, a bandleader, and even a pop singer (sort of), Dear has had his hands in the world of electronic music since 1999, when he released his first single on renowned label
Ghostly International — which also happened to be the label's first release (Dear co-founded the label). He's produced heavy, mind-bending techno (as Audion), straightforward minimal tech-house (as False), and lighter, poppy-house material under his own name. In other words, Dear has range, and he's slated to get behind the decks for an extended six-hour set — the full breadth of an extended DJ set means Dear will have the chance to flex all of his musical muscles, laying out a full spread of moods, sounds, genres, and styles for dancefloor consumption. Upstairs, German stalwart
Daniel Bortz will bring a melodic tech-house vibe in case a change of pace is needed.
