Andrei Matei, best known under the monkier “Harddrive”, plays and promotes DnB, Jungle, and Bass shows regularly in the Austin, TX area. As part of the EDJ Ent. and SUBstanceTX crews, Andrei is passionate about helping resurge the DnB movement in Central Texas.Over the last several years, Andrei has opened for numerous renowed DnB acts including Camo & Krooked, Enei, Random Movement, Dave Owen, and Sage. Currently, Andrei not only plays but also books artists for his residency at the 4th longest running DnB weekly in the US — Sonar DnB. In 2014, Andrei became one of the founding members of Drum-Soul, a jazzy, soulful, liquid-infused DnB night.While initially starting with his first true love — liquid DnB, Andrei has expanded his skills to include deep/dark/minimal, dancefloor, jump up, and old-school jungle styles. Throughout a Harddrive set, you can hear each of these influences accompanied with the conscious vibes of Rasta Sol, a talented jungle-centric MC, who breathes energy and life into his shows.You can catch Harddrive every 3rd Tuesday at Plush in Austin, TX.
