Matthew Dear
Irreparably Dented
“It’s OK, I know where I’m going”
So begins, the debut release from Ghostly International’s Spectral Sound imprint.
The first Ghostly/Spectral artist, Matthew Dear, unleashes a catchy tech-house cut that lopes and grooves with the best of them. Marrying a house influence to rolling techno, “Irreparably Dented” shows that Dear is an artist to watch well beyond his “Hands Up For Detroit” debut.
The B-side is a reconstructed version from LA’s David Alvarado (Ovum, Peacefrog) that chugs with carnal energy amidst big drums and extended distorted vocals. Tribal in attitude by techno by default, this is a well match plate for which discerning DJs may feast.
