Matt Harvey, based in Vienna, has continued to tour the world (most recently India) and decided that this time it would be fitting to make Air Chrysalis available exclusively online and for free, rather than creating a physical CD.Concord Dawn has come a long way since bursting onto the scene mid-1999 with a unique high-octane Drum and Bass sound.

The boys met up again at audio engineering school and Almost immediately they began working on their self titled debut album, which was so well received by the local audience and they began their first foray into the vinyl market with two 12 inch releases taken from the album. This was followed in quick succession by their second album Disturbance, which was both a refinement and an expansion of the energetic sound they were becoming known for, with a consolidated local fan base they began to attract interest from overseas.They set to work on album number 3, Uprising. The exceptional response to the album’s first tunes resulted in their first signings to UK based labels, and their first overseas gigs. The first single, Morning light was was a huge breakthrough tune for the pair, with both a success in the club and on commercial radio, debuting just short of the top 100 in the UK commercial charts. In November 2002, Morning Light featured on the Mixmag cover CD (alongside other Concord Dawn tunes Aurora and Take Me Away) mixed by John BDon’t Tell Me, with it’s energetic lyrics and gritty bassline, was noticeably different to anything the duo had ever done before . Due to it’s originality and dance floor popularity, it got snapped up for the March 2004 Mixmag cover CD, mixed by Grooverider & Fabio, and was one of 2 concord dawn tunes featured on the very successful DnB arena mix cd, by Andy C.Raining Blood, a heavy metal influenced tune, was the third single off the album, which showed the pair’s diverse knowledge in music of all forms. When the much anticipated album finally dropped in 2003, it achieved gold sales in just 3 months, which was unprecedented for a NZ DnB release!Following the release Concord Dawn returned to a hectic DJ schedule to the far flung corners of the world. In between touring, they found time to begin formulating the ideas for their next release Chaos By Design, the second album from their own imprint Uprising Recordings. Released in 06, Chaos by design incorporates their knowledge of the history of jungle, and maintains their reputation to push their own limits and explore new territory, and did not disappoint even the harshest of critics Concord Dawn have matured as artists, finding a harmonious blend between old and new.. Their success has created high expectations from punters worldwide, which has made them step their game up, as evidenced by 2012’s release of Air ChrysalisLinks http://www.facebook.com/concorddawnNZhttp://soundcloud.com/concord-dawnAnd you can check out a Fresh interview with Him on Pulse Radiohttp://www.inthemix.com.au/whatson/sydn ... ncord_DawnSome timeless tunes from the man himself right here http://soundcloud.com/concord-dawn/conc ... o-2013-bbcMention you are on " Scott's List " on the night , enter via the guestlist line and see the person with theiPad/ Guestlist and will be sorted - $15 before 11pm & $20 after Quote
