Concord Dawn consists of two passionate musicians, Matt Harvey (aka Matty C) and Evan Short (aka Kiljoy).
The New Zealand born duo have been making waves in the world of electronic music for many years now, and have been tagged as "NZ's pioneers of drum & bass". They have released their distinctive sound on legendary labels including Hospital Recordings, Timeless, Renegade Hardware, Moving Shadow, DSCI4 and Commercial Suicide, as well as up and coming labels such as Freak, Heavy Rotation, Redlight, Cyanide and BSE Recordings. International heavyweights such as Grooverider, Goldie, DJ Hype, Ed Rush, Dieselboy, Bad Company, Total Science, Digital, Trace, Klute, Bailey, Fierce, Marcus Intalex, Kemal, Cause for Concern and many others have been playing Concord Dawn tunes for the past few years, proving that it's not just homegrown pride that has contributed to their success over he and in New Zealand. Concord Dawn have earnt a fearsome reputation for their live performance, with extensive touring in Asia, America, Europe, Canada and Australia. In addition they have been featured at almost all of the major dance festivals in New Zealand.

The duo have been musicians and friends since they met at school at the young age of 11. Once they discovered their mutual love for music they formed a band together and started jamming every afternoon, playing tunes from Eric Clapton and the Rolling Stones! A few years later they fell in love with the rave culture. Evan was given a jungle mixtape from friends at school that awakened his musical passion. Around that time Matt was checking sets and became highly influenced by DJ Aaron, one of the founders of the NZ drum & bass scene. The pair were instantly drawn to this new sound, and began experimenting with creating their own sound. "Jungle combined a lot of the music we were into at the time. It was a mash-up of rock, jazz, hip hop, and had the energy of dance music." The boys met up again at audio engineering school and began writing tunes. Almost immediately they began working on their self-titled debut album for Auckland based electronic label Kog Transmissions. The album was received well by the local audience and they began their first foray into the vinyl market with two 12" 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 had become well known for. This consolidated their local fan base and began to attract interest from overseas. Evan then relocated to London for 6 months and upon his return they commenced 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. "Morning Light" was the first release off the album and was a huge breakthrough tune for the pair. It was both a success in the club and on commercial radio, debuting just short of the top 100 in the UK commercial charts. When the much anticipated album finally dropped in 2003, it achieved gold sales in just 3 months, which was unprecedented for a NZ d&b release. "Uprising" won 'Best Album' and 'Best Electronic Release' at the 2004 B-Net student radio awards, and the duo were nominated for 'Best Electronic Act' at the Vodafone music awards 2004. Following the album release they 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", which is the second album on their own imprint Uprising Recordings. Their success has created high expectations from punters worldwide, which has made them step their game up, to create an album which will not disappoint even the harshest of critics. Concord Dawn have matured as artists, finding a harmonious blend between old and new. "Chaos By Design" incorporates their knowledge of the history of jungle, and maintains their reputation to push their own limits and explore new territory.

The album will be followed by a full world tour, exporting the boys to countries in North America, Europe, Asia, Australia and their homeland New Zealand.
