Uprising

[ Kog Transmissions / Uprising Records / CD ]

Release Date: Friday, 7 November, 2008

" 'Uprising' was Concord Dawn's third full-length CD, and it remains nothing short of stunning -- containing some of the highest calibre of drum n' bass cuts known to man.

If you've ever listened to Auckland's bFM much you'll be quite familiar with many of the songs on offer here e.g. "Morning Light", Raining Blood", "Don't Tell Me", etc. But if not, don't worry, go in cold... The whole of 'Uprising' totally rocks!"
-Marty

Concord Dawn are one of New Zealands highest selling electronic artists, and have been in the New Zealand University b-net radio charts top 10 for longer than any act in history.

Influenced by drum n' bass acts such as Bad Company and DJ Trace, Evan Short (Kiljoy) and Matt Harvey (Matty C) formed the distinctive sound that is Concord Dawn.

Throughout the last few years Matt and Evan have toured heavily throughout New Zealand; playing alongside Cause 4 Concern, Bad Company, Konflict and Bulletproof, been part of New Zealand and Australia's largest festivals such as The Big Day Out, Rippon and the Gathering, and have played throughout Europe, with gigs in England, Belgium, France and Norway as well as Singapore and a six date tour of Australia.

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, proving that its not just homegrown pride that has contributed to their success here in New Zealand. DJ magazine, a respected U.K. publication, gave their first British vinyl release 4 out of 5 stars, In addition, "Coda", Frances most respected dance magazine, gave their second CD 'Disturbance' a 10/10 review. Other hugely favourable reviews and interviews have appeared in English magazines as IDJ, Mixmag, Seven, Knowledge, and magazines from Germany, Belgium, and Estonia...

These two guys stand at the very forefront of the drum n' bass scene, and they aren't going to go away in a hurry, which is of course excellent news indeed!
