Concord Dawn, (aka Matt Harvey), is a New Zealand Drum and Bass group, active since mid 1999.They were courted by local electronic music label Kog Transmissions and released their first album named Concord Dawn in July 2000.

After touring the album throughout New Zealand they released their second album Disturbance in April 2001 and received "Best Electronic Album" and "Best Independent Release" at the 2001 bNet Music Awards. Following this they started working on their 3rd album: Uprising. Tracks like “Morning Light” and “Don’t Tell Me” found very high international acclaim well before the album’s release. Uprising was released in New Zealand in September 2003 and reached gold sales status in 3 months.

With Concord Dawn now well established internationally and their catalogue now being distributed worldwide they went off on a world tour, traveling all over the United States, Canada, Europe, Asia and Australia. At the 2003 BNet music awards “Morning Light” won "Best Song" and "Most Radio Play" and at the 2004 bNet music awards Uprising received "Best Album" and "Best Electronic Release". Concord Dawn were also nominated for "Best Electronic Act" at the 2004 New Zealand music awards. Work on their long awaited 4th album was completed in early 2005 and was titled Chaos By Design by the two to express the album’s musically eclectic nature. The album and singles won critical acclaim worldwide with various tracks off the albums being signed to some big and respected Drum and Bass labels such as Metalheadz, Ram Records and Hospital Recordings. Concord Dawn were nominated for "Best Tech DJ" , "Best International Act" and "Best Producer" at the 2009 UK Drum and Bass Awards.
