Binary Finary was the joint music project of the two British DJs Matt Laws and Stuart Matheson .

background

With their only jointly released single in 1998 , Binary Finary created one of the most famous uplifting trance hymns of the late 1990s. Matheson and Laws met in 1995 at a record store in Portsmouth . Laws invited Matheson to his studio a few days later and introduced him to his 1998 track . Matheson joined Laws' Binary Finary project.

The 1998 track took the British club scene by storm and Binary Finary advanced to become prominent DJs. In 1998 the record label Aquarius Records animated the two to record a studio version of the track.

The hype in the club scene made those responsible at the British music label Positiva aware of Binary Finary. It signed Laws and Matheson and released the track in the fall of 1998 under the title 1998 along with remixes by Matt Darey and Paul van Dyk . The single stormed the UK charts and reached number 24. At the same time, in 1998 it became one of the most played tracks in the program of the BBC DJs Paul Oakenfold and Danny Rampling .

In August 1999, the same single was released under the title 1999 with new remixes by Kay Cee and Marc et Claude . This version surpassed the success of the original and reached number 11 in the UK charts. In the following years, further remixes of the track appeared under the titles 2000 , 2001 and 2002 . But none of them could build on the commercial success of the first two publications. Binary Finary had split up in the meantime and have been pursuing their own projects ever since.

On May 1, 2006, the two DJs released a compilation of 16 tracks called The Lost Tracks that were created during their eight-year break. In early September 2006 they started their own digital record label Binary Finary Recordings .
