Concord Dawn & Trei - Wipeout EP

Concord Dawn & Trei join forces for this epic 4 track EP. This kiwi co-lab works efficiently to bring us the unforgettable New Zealand d&b sound that many of us know well.

Grumbling basslines and undeniably hard-hitting drums definitely makes this EP one to look forward to, whilst deep rolling vibes, and pumping effects makes each tune perfect for the dancefloor.

New tune fresh out from New Zealand DJ and Producer, Concord Dawn.

This time round, Concord Dawn aka Matthew Harvey, carves out a strong upbeat track that captures the Summer vibes perfectly.

Strong techno synth stabs and a skipping bassline has this one rolling all the way, whilst still keeping his sound right at the heart of the track. Big sound! No news on a release date for this one though…
