Matrix and Futurebound

Matrix (Metro Recordings) Jamie Quinn AKA Matrix forged an early path into the drum and bass scene through releases on DJ SS's New Identity Recordings before launching his own Metro imprint in 1997. His first LP, 'Sleepwalk', was released on Virus Records. In recent years he also reached the pop charts as part of the Goldtrix production team with 'Trippin (It's Love)'. Futurebound (Viper Recordings) Brendan Collins AKA DJ / Producer Futurebound was born and bred in Liverpool, England. After the first illegal raves he attended in 1989, Futurebound went onto pursue his passion for dance music, with DJs such as Fabio, Grooverider, Mickey Finn & Top Buzz serving as early influences. From this, Futurebound secured a home town residency in 1991, warming up for the likes of Carl Cox, Grooverider and Sasha, his first real break into DJing. Steadily the emerging influence of breakbeats grew on Futurebound, leading him to book names such as LTJ Bukem, Goldie, Ray Keith and 4 Hero for his own parties in the early nineties, and later lead him to start the notorious X events in 1999. Since 1993 Futurebound has been stamping his distinctive, rolling, peak time sounds on vinyl, initially with local producers, and later with the likes of J Majik, Matrix, Digital & Adam F, with his productions being released on imprints such as Infrared, Timeless, Moving Shadow, Metro and Frequency.
