One Step Beyond: Matthew Dear And Ambivalent
- story THE FADER
The last One Step Beyond was like, total rave central which was awesome because we were in a planetarium so it was like a space rave. Plus, we got another free ticket to the planetarium (we’re saving all of them and then spending an entire week straight there). This time promises to be a little less ravey, but no less great because Matthew Dear is going to play some warm house jams and lots of people will be dancing and probably like four dudes will be standing in the back stroking their beards but whatever because it’s all good and everyone is having fun right? Beard scratchers and dancers and everyone in between can buy tickets here.

Ghostly International released this today on their RCRD LBL blog. It’s a cutout from Matthew Dear’s recent and excellent Asa Breed album. And though we were just about to tear into our daily Rumours listening at 4:15, we will jam this a few times because it’s pretty great—a subtle, dark complement to Asa’s surprisingly sunny techno pop.
