Alpha by Audion

‘Alpha’ is Audion’s first 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 defining 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 final critical piece of the puzzle.

Matthew Dear’s Audion project stands proudly at the intersection between art and hedonism, realized over a decade long dedication to powerful and relevant dance music. Growing out of the DIY Detroit underground, Audion and his contemporaries fed off the energy of UK and European dancefloors, but created their own sound and spirit. An Audion release is techno in it’s purest sense.
