Like any artist making a significant amount of noise in the bass music selections of contemporary times, duo HavocNdeeD discovered a passion for electronic music in the drum & bass areas crammed back in the darkest corners of those massive raves of the 1990’s. A recent collaboration between marquis U.S. disc jockeys (OB-one and J. Paul) drew upon their extensive experience in the largest nightclubs of Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Chicago, and Miami. The years behind drums, synths, guitars, and crate after crate after crate of every genre of music from the last 50 years combined with those fond memories at the foot of giant bass bins to create a sound all their own. Their first single "Bass4YaFace" is a testament to that. Creating a buzz on Beatport and getting regular spins from DJs varying from Z-Trip and Jazzy Jeff to The Next Men and Drop The Lime.
HavocNdeeD has followed-up with numerous well received singles to date. The growing reputation of DJ-synth-drum-guitar-vocal combinations in their live shows secured slots at must-attend events over the last year. This includes the 420 Festival and World of Drum & Bass, and pulled them away from North America for performances in Australia and New Zealand. While the releases don the logo of their newly-forged 119 Sound label, dubstep giant Play Me Records saw their potential early on and was instrumental in their growing exposure. The most recent offerings are remixes for Geoffrey Paris and American Idol star Julissa Veloz. Though it was a video posted by Linkin Park that holds the key for tomorrow's projects.
Drawing upon their love of classic hip-hop, HavocNdeeD felt that NWA's "Dopeman" deserved a dubstep remix. This somehow gained the attention of Linkin Park frontman Mike Shinoda who posted a video of it on his blog doing a live remix session. When looking at possible remixers for the new Linkin Park album the duo came to mind. "Our new record is more beat-driven and electronic than our past efforts, so I thought it would be a good fit", explains Shinoda. "Their remix of "Wretches and Kings" came out incredible... the bridge section is massive!” The remix came full circle when Chuck D from Public Enemy cut an original verse for the track giving it a nice blend between classic and modern. Upon fulfilling expectations for the remix, HavocNdeeD continues to open doors to more opportunities. They have since completed a remix for She Wants Revenge and Cypress Hill & Rusko as well as an original collaboration with reggae legend Cutty Ranks. They look forward to exposing even the most mainstream of music fans to the elements they love about independent dance music... and make those people love it too.

This page is dedicated to my sons: Aidan and Solomon, they are the inspiration for everything I do in life now.

"He is best known for his work with Ed Rush, fellow head of the Virus Recordings label, and as a pioneer of the techstep and neurofunk sound. His first single for Metalheadz, 'To Shape the Future'/'Raging Calm' (1997) and his collaborative material with Ed Rush, such as the Wormhole, album (1998) were archetypal developments in the style. The duo followed this debut album with The Creeps (2000) and The Original Doctor Shade (2003), as well as countless singles and remixes. More recently, the duo have returned to form with their (2009) LP 'Travel The Galaxy' containing the modern classic 'Chubrub' and 'No Cure' LP in 2015."

"He also notably did all of the engineering and production work for Grooverider's album Mysteries of Funk, and work on Goldie's 'Saturns Return' LP. In addition, he has produced solo for many labels including Virus, Metalheadz, Prototype, 31 Records, Metro and released in collaboration with many artists, including Ed Rush, Trace, Dom and Roland, Fierce, and his brother Matrix. The first Optical release was in 1996."

"Matt Quinn's savage dance floor productions as Optical (for, among many others, Groove's own label Prototype) have earned him a place in drum'n'bass's premier division.”

"Optical's pure, unchallenged talent shines through on his solo tunes, showcasing an artist well ahead of his time. No doubt the modern sounds of the likes of D-Bridge, Instra:mental and the rest of the minimalist dark revival heads, draw heavy influence not only from Optical himself, but from his inspirations in Jazz, such as Herbie Hancock and Miles Davis. His ability to blend Jazz, Funk and futuristic, technical soundscapes is masterful. From his early work on Metalheadz and Prototype Recordings to his collaborative work on Virus Recordings and the classic Mysteries of Funk (Grooverider's landmark LP), Optical can perhaps qualify as one of the most underrated musicians of the modern era. His mind has crafted sounds which were never before heard, moods which were completely original, and his vision of the future, although ultimately dark and disjointed, is beautifully vivid and addictive. Its a world he pulls you into with each and every track and only a handful of artists can begin to dream of being this successful in their work."

Virus Recordings has become a DnB scene favourite and continues to release the ultimate in DnB vibes, with artists like C4C, Audio, Optiv & BTK, The Upbeats, Noisia, Gridlok, Ram Trilogy, Matrix, Rymetyme, Sonic & Silver, Pendulum, Mefjus,  InsideInfo
