In the early 1990's Matt Darey was finding his sound, experimenting with diffrerent sounscapes trying to create an original sound. "Point Zero" was a demo that he had been working on for a while before sending it out to record labels in 1993. All but one label declined as this new style of music didn't fit into any of the current categories of music. The label boss Dave Lee aka Joey Negro / Jakarta signed Point Zero to his Seka label, not because it fitted his usual house genre releases but simply because he found it facinating, a sound he hadn't heard before. For the flip side Matt created a house track to get it released which was a huge hit on commerial radio but as things turned out, it was Li Kwan - Point Zero that became the dominant track and stood the test of time.
A key moment in Matt's career was when Pete Tong on BBC Radio 1 made Li Kwan his essential new tune of the week, two weeks in a row which was unprecidented. Point Zero then proceeded to cause a stir in clubland with DJ's like Paul Oakenfold making this one of the key tracks in his legendary Goa mix.
Li Kwan was then signed on major label BMG/Deconstruction. "Li Kwan - Point Zero" and released breaking into the UK singles chart and then grew orgnically in clubland over the years becoming a legendary forerunner of the Trance genre inspiring the next generation of producers like Armin Van Buuren & Above and Beyond and other key artists to venture into trance music.
This was all before the digital recording age when music was still recorded on 16 track reel to reel master tapes, just like they had for decades before. Matt kept the tape in storage all these years, locked away in the vaults until now. This is a truly unique and historic piece of Trance music history and an investment for any electronic music artifact collector or patron of the arts.
