- Matthew Dear under his Audion guise will be responsible for Fabric 27 due to hit stores late March.
- Matthew Dear, who quietly made his mark by letting his productions do the talking, has compiled Fabric 27 after an endless stream of monikers and relentless touring pushed the incredible Texan producer into the upper crust of the electronic music elite. At only 27 years of age, Dear's releases push all forms of electronic music and it's obvious we're going to be hearing a lot more from him in years to come. For his Fabric 27 release Dear has adopted his latest alias Audion, which pushes a harder electronic side, as he explains, "I was just getting a little...I wouldn't say bored with subtle, minimal stuff, but I realised if you added hard and powerful moments, people could lose themselves a lot easier. I think it’s easier for the listener to know what they’re getting into as well. If somebody goes to a shop and they’re looking for a new record, I wouldn’t wanna confuse them if they bought Audion thinking it was gonna sound like my other stuff." Having gone deep on the album, Matthew Dear says "This mix was a labour of love. The club holds such a high place in my heart and I tried to capture the different corridors a listener can take when there. Sometimes you will hear harder music in one room and walk across the club to another room for deeper, more twisted music. I wanted the mix to reflect the diversity of a Saturday night at Fabric."
