Audion has proven to be very influential in maintaining the respectable side of dance music on the cusp of mainstream popularity, more so perhaps with his Matthew Dear guise but here he nails his colours firmly to the underground dance mast.

Lulling you into a false sense of security with industrial, crisp sounding programming, it's not long before your mind has been de-focussed by the highly psychedelic elements drifting in and out of the mix.

Dance music as it should be then? In all the confusion all that remains for me to do is concentrate on the number of ways I can throw the shapes.

The term fit for purpose sums up the Audion side of Matthew Dear, music that goes straight for the dancefloor jugular! It seems minimal may have become a bit of an insult these days as a byword for unimaginative production, but in the case of the likes of Audion it can be a case of musicians just getting straight to the point and avoiding any audible clutter.

Stripped to basic elements with only one purpose in mind, and no bull.
