CMJ 2010 Report Part 8 of 10. This past Roctober, New York hosted its yearly CMJ (College Music Journal) Music Marathon. As the name indicates, The CMJ Music Marathon is a massive concentration of 100s of bands that descend on NYC like locusts and swarm every NYC venue over the course of a week leaving hangovers and ringing ears in their wake. There are those out there that like to believe that it is an indicator of the stylistic forces that will drive major musical themes for the coming years. In years [...]
Es increíble la fuerza que puede llegar a tener un remix. The Drums es una banda, que nos guste o no, hace muy bien su trabajo a la hora de componer melodías contagiosas. Matthew Dear , por otro lado, aunque es bastante voluble a la hora de hacer remixes, y por demás inquieto como productor (siempre está probando nuevos experimentos y sonidos), en esta ocasión, se voló la barda con su reversión al tema " Me And The Moon " de los nuevos chicos de moda de Brooklyn. No es de extrañarse tampoco, pues Matthew Dear es [...]
LCD Soundsystem - “ Home ” Remember how James Murphy used to excoriate hipsters and other artists? Yeah, now he’s turned his sights on us. It’s not pretty, but it’s tough love as Matthew says . I suggest we be thankful: Sound of Silver also ended with a sigh of a song about a home (“New York I Love You But You’re Bringing Me Down”), but here he removes the location and speaks to all of us. You’re afraid of what you need. A million music-critic-types are blurbing about how This [...]
The Drums: 'Me And the Moon' [Matthew Dear Remix] [ mp3 ]
It's that time of the year when everyone is putting together lists of top 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, etc albums of the year amongst other lists that get worked on. Every year we do a top 10 list with a slight twist, we invite friends on board to participate. The last [...]
okokokokok. So The Drums. I'm predicting they're gonna hit quite a few best albums of 2010 lists. Not mine mind you, but I can definitely see why they would hit them. They put out a new single recently called Me & The Moon. And it's just got the remix treatment from some pretty big names. [...]
Brooklyn based The Drums have emerged as one of the brightest new bands of 2010 with their debut record, crafting 80s pop rock that belongs on the shelf with Joy Division and The Smiths. Their newest single “Me and the Moon” has received the remix treatment from Twin Shadow, Clock Opera and Moonlight Matters, and now electronic/dance enthusiast Matthew Dear. Dear's version entirely abolishes the cheerful guitar pop and speedy rhythms, chopping up and strongly reverberating lead singer Jonathan Pierce's vocals till they're unrecognizable. Instead, Dear makings it truly his own, stretching it to over seven minutes of soaring electronic [...]

The Clock Opera kids flip this new Drums single. This remix comes to us as one in a series of four new remixes released to accompany the new "Me & the Moon" release. Have to say, Clock Opera pretty much nails this, putting the original tune on top a smooth synth glide and jangly repeating arpeggios, and their remix is the true standout of the four. (Matthew Dear, Moonlight Matters & Twin Shadow also contribute). Get into it below. The Drums- Me & the Moon (Clock Opera remix) [...]
Pour cette nouvelle session, j'ai voulu taper dans des tracks oldschool (certains auraient pu passer à coté) qui ont marqués la scène électronique mondiale. Bref, le genre de son qu'on n'oublie pas, même après quelques années. On commence avec un son sorti en 2004 sur le label Londonien Border Community : le mythique remix de James Holden de « The Sky Was Pink ». Ce son est tout simplement celui qui a jeté les bases de la minimale que l'on connait à l'heure actuelle. Le titre est muni d'une dynamique assez [...]

The king of French house released another stunning new track and I love what he’s done with Matthew Dear ‘s You Put A Smell On Me . The eery, hard-hitting original is bathed in a Breakbot class nu-disco feel. Enjoy Matthew Dear - You Put A Smell On Me (Breakbot Remix) Bonus Aeroplane - Without Lies (Breakbot Remix)
Some might be confused as to what Matthew Dear does. Some say he is a DJ, others think he is a dance-music producer, and many say think he is simply the co-founder of both Ghostly International and its dancefloor offshoot, Spectral Sound. He maintains four aliases (Audion, False, Jabberjaw, and Matthew Dear), each with its own style and distinct visual identity. He straddles multiple musical worlds and belongs to none—and he’s just hitting his stride. So how do you begin to define someone who [...]

Get your ticket now before it’s too late. Here’s what you can look forward to… Room 01 mulletover & Crosstown Rebels present Rebel Rave Damian [...]
This is quite lovely. Breakbot's glamour tinged synths coupled with Matthew Dear's raspy vocals and distorted guitar melodies twist into a beautiful track. Breakbot is on a real terror this year. 'Baby I'm Yours' is still a favorite of mine. I also included a couple other gems of his from the past (a remixes of ... Read more
I haven't heard much from Breakbot lately. Ever since their amazing soul funk hit "Baby I'm Yours" they seem to have laid low. But they've recently remixed DJ producer pop artist Matthew Dear. It's a slow sensual interpretation of the original's blipping beats. It takes away the harshness of its electro-ness. In the end, the [...]
There's nothing quite like the sounds of a new french artist to get excited to, and French smoothy Breakbot has been doing this throughout 2010. He's a new artist from Ed Banger Records, and it's their way to show everyone that there's more to them than just "Justeece bangOrs". And quite right too, because Breakbot has put his effortlessly smooth francospin on Matthew Dear's "You Put A Smell On Me" and you'll be glad to hear that full of bright lights and disco dancing. Typical Breakbot. Matthew Dear - You Put A Smell On Me (Breakbot [...]
Breakbot is king at spinning anything into gold, and I love what he's done with Matthew Dear 's You Put A Smell On Me . The eery, hard-hitting original is bathed in a Breakbot aesthetic that still resonates in these winter months. It took many years for Make You Mine to be released, and we hopefully won't be waiting that long for a proper LP. Matthew Dear - You Put A Smell On Me (Breakbot Remix) [...]
