Jade and Matt-U are Gabor Simon (26) and Matyas Szalai (23) from Budapest, Hungary, definitely the centre of drum and bass in Central Europe.
They got introduced to drum&bass in 2000 after a couple of years producing in different genres separately. The stlyle was a great impression to their production, Matt-U started working on liqud tunes, while Jade was more into the dark, technoid sounds. Jade and Matt-U both used to upload their early tunes to a hungarian production message board, which was also the starting ground of SKC and Chris.SU. Years passed as they got deeper and deeper in the art of electroinic music production, improving their sound design, mixing and arrangement.
A year after they first met in 2004, their first collaboration, Got Lost was born, and gained huge success by getting singed to Black Sun Empire Recordings. They kept on working together, and created Salem and Nightmare, both tunes came out on the mighty Moving Shadow, while another 12 was released on Ryme Tymes Spawn Recordings: Stars flipped by Treachery. In the near future Hellhound and Silver Wings is to come out on the legendary 1210 Recordings. Matt-U on his own focuses on liquid and dubby drum&bass, and h is also a member of another crew, called Soulproof. With releases at Fokuz Recordings, and forthcomings at Timeless, Habit Rec, Horizons Music, and Commercial Suicide he is also estabilished his name as a liquid drum and bass producer and dj. Jade alone makes harder techy tunes, like Acid Flood came out recently on the Endangered Species LP on BSE, but he also finds joy in making bootlegs, like the massive anthem Pump Friction, a rework of the famous theme from the pump fiction movie. Jade does breakbeat too, exclusively at DJ Quest's Cyberfunk Records in the UK. Jade and Matt-U has aslo successfully started their dj carrier in 2004, gaining massive interest. Their sets are unique thanks to their different orientation, resoulting a diverse rolling dancefloor experience. Lately the launched their studio mix series under the name of Condition Red, the first chapter already downloaded 15000 times..
