Audion (aka Matthew Dear) got nasty on the ones and twos last night at Chicago's Sonotheque, as part of Spectral Sound's "Death Is Nothing to Fear" bi-monthly residency. The Detroit native attacked his set with stoic concentration, unleashing track after track of minimal house and techno to maximum effect. Dear finally broke from his steely demeanor during a particularly hushed moment of his second-to-last record, only to salute the packed dance floor with outstretched arms, flash a smile and pump up the volume to its peak.

Photographer Steve Mizek was there to capture the rhythmic onslaught as it unfolded. More pictures and tour dates after the jump.
