Matthew Dear is an innovative and influential electronic producer, DJ, and vocalist based in Ann Arbor, Michigan. A longtime KEXP favorite, Matthew's stacked catalog of releases is a treasure trove of sonic delights that surprise and impress with each new album, EP, remix, and DJ mix.
Matthew's guest DJ mix for Midnight in a Perfect World is a brilliant journey through immersive techno, tech-house, and experimental ambient textures. He had these words to share about his mix:
"This mix was made during an unprecedented time in all of our lives. On one hand, it's the furthest thing from importance. I put it together between trips to the pharmacy and grocery store to make sure I had provisions to last my family for some time. On the other hand, it's a commitment to my craft, and following through on a promise to share a mix for the Midnight In A Perfect World series. Ultimately I hope this music can, if only for a short moment, make you feel like you are in a more perfect world."
