Matthew Dear, DJ, dance-music producer, experimental pop artist and bandleader will perform in Belgrade with his band on May 25th. His concert will open the first Serbian BDW DIZAJNIGHTS club festival of "design-music". The Texas-born Dear moved to Michigan as a teenager, where he was inspired by the sound of Detroit Techno. Dear met Sam Valenti IV at a party while attending the University of Michigan, after which the two created the record label, Ghostly International, based on shared love of electronic music. Dear’s first single was 1999’s "Hands Up For Detroit". 3 albums followed. Matthew and his band, Matthew Dear's Big Hands began the US promotional tour in 2007 and the European tour as the opening act for Hot Chip. His highly anticipated fourth album, 2010’s Black City, which will be presented at Belgrade Design Week, is the culmination of years of hard work and experimentation.
