Pitchfork on Audion's 'Suck_x001F_sh' 2005 Matthew Dear™s Audion project stands proudly at the intersection between art and hedonism, realised over a decade long dedication to powerful and relevant dance music. Growing out of the vibrant DIY Detroit underground, Audion and his contemporaries were free to feed o_x001E_ the energy reverberating from UK and European dance_x001D_oors, but singular in their desire to create their own sound and spirit. An Audion release is techno in it™s purest sense - whether it™s pushing the bombastic limits, spinning the dance_x001D_oor out of control or elegantly toying with just a few sonic elements. ˜Alpha™ is Audion™s _x001F_rst artist album in 10 years and comes at the end of a period of fevered activity. The collective body of work standing as a marker in time and a de_x001F_ning moment in the life of the artist. Drowning out the noise of the outside world, ˜Alpha™ was a puzzle pieced together sonically in the shadows and wildly brought to life in a matter of weeks. The artwork for ˜Alpha™ has again been realised by Will Calcutt, Dear™s long time collaborator, who has a visual plan for the music that matches the sonic vision, completing the _x001F_nal critical piece of the puzzle.
