Konquest

Matt Webb (AKA Konquest) immersed himself in music from a very young age. Learning drums from age 10 and classical piano from age 13, he quickly discovered he had a natural ability and talent in musical composition. Studying music theory in higher education, he met a group of friends that led Matt to his very first illegal rave party. There he witnessed his first live electronic DJ playing jungle music. It was from this moment his path changed from classical composition to electronic music. Matt began producing drum and bass in 2005 under the alias “Block Dodger”. His early influences were primarily based around the early Neuro sound pioneered by Ed Rush and Optical. In 2007 Matt received his first official club booking and in 2010 was signed to well established German Neurofunk label “Trust In Music”. In 2011 he joined forces with the popular YouTube channel “Neurofunk Grid” and championed their first release NFG 001. Matt soon began to receive bookings all over the world. In 2016, Matt was commissioned to write the music for the closing ceremony for the world famous “BoomTown Festival”. He gathered a team of highly talented drum and bass producers to help him achieve this mammoth task including Volatile Cycle and Barbarix. Over the course of the next three years they would continue to write the closing ceremony music together and become close friends and later went on to form the drum and bass super group “Fourth Order”. In 2021 Matt decided to reboot his drum and bass career and change his alias to Konquest. In 2022 he was signed to worldwide famous labels such as Eatbrain and Cause4Concern. He has big plans for the future and his drum and bass journey has only just begun.
