In the five short that Matt and Neil Phantom have been working together they have knocked up an impressive array of achievements. They have DJed all around the world, been broadcast on BBC Radio One (both DJing and Live), held down residencies at legendary clubs and released records that have become classics. Their mash-up DJ style first brought them to the attention of the promoters ofHeavenly Jukebox, the birthplace of Big Beat, who shipped them to London. They caused such a riot that they were invited back on a monthly basis. From there on they made progress through Britain's clubs, blowing dancefloors away as their style became funkier and tougher. It was about this time that they started to produce their own music and that's when the world really sat up and listened...
2003 was the year of "21st Century Breaks", a triple-CD mix with Soul Of Man on React Records which receiving gushing praise from press and punters alike. Some called it "hands down the best breaks compilation on the market"whilst Mixmag said "Full marks rating = Beast!". It was no surprise that it has been non-stop ever since for the boys. By the end of the year their records will have travelled through four continents with them finishing 2003 with a three week tour of Australia and Japan. At this rate 2004 had better watch out!!! The duo touch down this Friday (12th Dec) at the Ruby Room playing alongside Duck Rock and Mike McKenna.
