DJ, broadcaster, journalist and deeply proud music nerd: Charlie Tee represents everything that’s special and vital about the new wave of inclusive energy exploding in dance music culture right now.  

Celebrating some of the most fundamental foundations of electronic music and its power to smash down boundaries, but doing it with an upfront, future-focused twist; award-winning Charlie might be BBC Radio 1’s first ever full-time female drum & bass specialist… But her roots, influences and collection runs super deep across all sounds and styles. 

Joining dots between genres for many years in many ways, from her years as a prominent voice on the Kiss network to her current role at the forefront of one of the world’s biggest platforms, Charlie Tee’s years of studying, grafting and honing her skills have rightfully led her to the very forefront of this rave new world as a key voice of the next generation.

Be it on her radio shows, her Unitee events, her label Total Music or her DJ sets, Charlie has consistently represented, encouraged and empowered new talent, championing early and breakthrough releases from the now renowned likes of Bou, Nia Archives, A Little Sound, Ewan McVicar, and Venbee to name but a few. 

Every bit as creative and forward-thinking as the artists and culture she amplifies, Charlie’s editorial concepts and interviews bring out the best in her guests. She’s also studied music production… Not just to make beats herself, but to also understand the magic of sonics and be able to interview artists with more understanding and empathy. This is how deep Charlie’s passion as a professional music journalist goes.

It's a passion and professionalism that can be felt in everything Charlie puts into the world. From her ever-intensifying schedule of high profile DJ sets to her hot-ticket Unitee parties and everything in between, Charlie continues to create space for the new wave with unapologetic enthusiasm and a firm belief that this culture is for everyone. And what’s even more exciting is that she’s only just warming up.

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'.
