Matthew Dear — New Drug

this summer, salon records launches its summer series:

Matthew Dear continues the serie with “New Drug”, an electro-pop and solar anthem driven by catchy hooks and subtle low rider vibes reminiscent of War. On the b-side, “Head in the clouds” unfolds as a long and floating journey through hazy disco atmospheres and hypnotic grooves.

Three collectible 7-inch singles bringing together Bruno Pronsato, Matthew Dear and Rework. While each artist comes from a distinct corner of electronic music, they share a unique ability to blur the boundaries between songwriting, dance music and pop experimentation.
Blending pop, minimal and house influences, the series unfolds as a collection of musical short stories shaped by warm textures, timeless melodies and intimate atmospheres. Suspended moments, distant memories and fleeting emotions intertwine with rhythms designed for both dancing and escapism.
Released progressively throughout the summer, these records form an evolving soundtrack — a series of sun-drenched narratives connected by a shared desire to create timeless music.
The project is accompanied by a visual collaboration between french photographer Paul Rousteau and creative studio playground.paris, extending this mediterranean-inspired universe through a collection of warm images bathed in acidic light and summer tones.
