Biography

Matthew and Kate’s live show involves lots of improvisation, with Kate playing melodies and stabs on the synth and Matthew in control of the groove on ableton. They use an MPC which is hooked up to some outboard effects as well as a vocal mic. All these elements combined create their unique sound, raw but packed full of soul.


Early in 2011 their live Resident Advisor podcast received great feedback, with many saying it was refreshing to hear something completely different. Their live act is always developing – ranging from raw stripped-back house to techno.  Matthew and Kate have been producing music with each other for around 3 years. Since starting their collaboration, they have collected various hardware synths, instruments and effects which allows their sound to continue to be diverse and evolve over time.


Matthew has been involved in electronic music for the last 10 or so years and worked with Connect Four, Leftroom, Retrofit and was the first to release on Sammy Dee’s new project, Ultrastretch.  He is also now releasing on Visionquest, and along with Kate plan an ep on the label this coming Winter.


Kate’s a little newer to the scene and only really started getting into dance music after meeting Matthew in 2007 (who could ask for a better teacher?!) In 2010, the pair worked together to release on Jay Shepheard’s label, Retrofit, where they will continue to release in the future.


The live act has seen them perform across several countries over the past year and plans are in progress for a busy 2012 – hopefully allowing them to share their unique music with new crowds across the world.
