Mt. Eden, the New Zealand-based dubstep and electronic duo, began captivating audiences in the late 2000s with their distinct blend of ethereal melodies and bass-heavy rhythms. Composed of Jesse Cooper and Harley Rayner, Mt. Eden rose to prominence after their breakout hit "Sierra Leone," a track that sampled Freshly Ground's song "I'd Like," went viral on YouTube, amassing millions of views and securing their place in the burgeoning electronic music scene. The duo's name, a nod to the Mount Eden suburb of Auckland, is a testament to their roots and the geographic inspiration behind their atmospheric soundscapes.

With a discography that weaves through various facets of electronic music, Mt. Eden has not only established an enduring presence but has also remained relevant through a constant evolution of their style. Their releases, like the Skeler Remix of "Still Alive" and the emotive "Cruel," showcase their ability to infuse rich, textured layers into their tracks while engaging a broad spectrum of listeners. Remixes like the TWO OWLS Remix of "Sierra Leone (feat. Freshly Ground)" echo the duo's early work, reimagined through a contemporary lens. They continue to resonate with fans old and new, as evidenced by their energizing collaborations and the freshness they bring to remixes of other artists' work, maintaining their status as influential figures in electronic music.
