SLANDER - Halfway Down - Matrix & Futurebound Remix

Brendan Collins (P.K.A Futurebound) is one half of prestigious production duo Matrix & Futurebound, and founder/owner of Viper Recordings. Since its inception in 2004, Viper Recordings has become a powerhouse in the industry and responsible for releasing some of the biggest dancefloor hits of the past decade along with fresh artists across the globe.
 
Always at the forefront of breaking new talent, Viper has become renowned for finding some of the biggest producers in the scene, with artists such as: Sigma, ShockOne, Nero, Camo & Krooked, DC Breaks, Delta Heavy, Seven Lions, ShockOne, Metrik, and Fred V & Grafix all starting their careers on the UK-based label.
 
In 2005 Futurebound joined forces with Matrix producing the first Matrix & Futurebound release ‘Strength 2 Strength’. This first production by the duo would go on to cement the foundation for their future, with the pair going on to dominate the drum'n'bass scene worldwide with two studio albums, ‘Universal Truth’ (voted dance album of the year in numerous territories) and ‘Mystery Machine’, as well as countless singles & remixes. 
 
As a duo, Matrix & Futurebound have gained huge success with four UK Top 40 hits; ‘All I Know’, ‘Magnetic Eyes’, ‘Control’, and ‘Don’t Look Back’. ‘Control’ peaked at #7 in the UK Singles Charts and #2 in the UK Dance Charts - a feat accomplished by only an elite handful in the drum and bass scene.
 
Both artists have also enjoyed various individual successes over the years as owners of Metro Recordings & Viper, respectively. 
 
2020 has seen Futurebound collaborate with NCT & Liquicity on anthemic dnb single ‘The Feeling’ and now with Tom Cane for new single release ‘Dangerous’ on Viper.
 
‘Dangerous’ is set to become another classic for the genre, featuring the vocals of Tom Cane, who has achieved star-status in the scene. Vibrant and full of life, Futurebound packs the track full of his signature energy and captures the essence of the underground culture we hold so dear while still also appealing to the mainstream.

Individually and as part of a duo, Matrix & Futurebound have decades worth of experience in shaping the drum & bass landscape. Brendan Collins and Jamie Quinn possess one of the most impressive track records in the genre's history, boasting one hundred million combined streams, one critically acclaimed album 'Universal Truth' and multiple consecutive Top 40 UK records. Their expert song writing can be seen through cuts such as 'All I Know', 'Magnetic Eyes' alongside Baby Blue, 'Don't Look Back' ft. Tanya Lacey and the legendary silver certified 'Control' with Max Marshall, which reached number seven on the UK's Top 40 singles chart whilst representing their fourth consecutive track to be playlisted on BBC Radio 1. Matrix & Futurebound are set to capitalise on this success for 2019- their forthcoming second studio LP 'Mystery Machine' is a testament to the legacy which they've built throughout their career, as they've become one of the most influential figures for a colossal dance music export. 
2005 was the year which led to the collaborative project between Matrix & Futurebound; 'Strength to Strength' was a pivotal moment for both artists, who were already prolific through their individual pseudonyms and it's a relationship which soon developed with exciting results. Their debut album 'Universal Truth' in 2007, jointly released on Matrix's Metro Recordings and Futurebound's Viper Recordings, signified the beginning of their joint alias. With Futurebound already having a powerful stake in the Liverpudlian bass scene and with London-based Matrix becoming a staple in DJ sets across the city's major club spaces, they had laid the foundations to launch a critical production team. 
Since then, the pair have gone on to cross over the divide between the underground world of drum & bass and mainstream commercial achievements, with their music translating to both intimate clubs spaces and global festival audiences. 2018 saw the first steps towards 'Mystery Machine', with title track 'Mystery Machine', 'Tardis', 'Live Another Day' and 'Believe' signalling the dancefloor viability of their next historic addition to an already impressive back catalogue. Having debuted many of its ground-breaking new records on stages at EDC, UKF Buenos Aires, Reading & Leeds, Glastonbury, Creamfields, Exit Festival, Let it Roll and due to showcase their album at the first of their 'Matrix & Futurebound Presents' nights at XOYO, they helped define the year's taste making tracks. 
But it's not just their standalone tracks which have caught the ears of fans and trend setters alike; as two of the biggest drum & bass figures, they've also remixed the likes of Emeli Sande, Pendulum, Eric Prydz, Jess Glynne, Demi Lovato, Labrinth, Birdy, Tinie Tempah plus many more names of the same stature. Their Emeli Sande rework was one of the vocal drum & bass anthems of the year gaining huge support from daytime Radio 1, making its way into the A list and with extensive specialist play from Annie Mac. This culminated in a highly successful Live Lounge appearance where the duo performed 'Breathing Underwater' with Emeli at Maida Vale, with their remix closing the London NYE fireworks.
Their next single 'Got You There', penned by esteemed songwriter Becky Hill and featuring alt-pop newcomer Zelah on vocals, begins the New Year with a slab of stunning musicality. Released through Viper / Metro Recordings, the emotionally charged anthem received three consecutive weeks of Radio 1 support on Mistajam's Dance Anthems slot, as well as being featured on the Spotify UK and US New Music Friday playlist. It was a hugely successful offering from Matrix & Futurebound and it's another chapter which brings listeners closer to the reveal of 'Mystery Machine'.
