California uber-producers Momu are J.D. Moyer (aka Jondi, of internationally renowned producer/DJ team Jondi & Spesh) and Mark Musselman, one of San Francisco's most acclaimed breakbeat DJ's. Momu's sound to date; wicked breaks, future tech sounds, breathtaking melodies, sinister FX, and devastating arrangements that wreak havoc on the dancefloor and stereos everywhere. Both Mark and Jondi are residents at San Francisco's favorite mid-weekly, Qoöl, where you can hear them regularly testing out new and unusual breakbeat frequencies.
Momu released their first artist album this year to critical acclaim ("you'll struggle to find anything as perfectly formed as this collection from breakbeat visionaries Momu" - M8 magazine "a sophisticated brew ... they fuse their breaks with ethereal textures that conjure natural landscapes" -DJ Mag "a collection of modern breakbeat unlike any other. An absolutely cracking album from start to finish, there's not even a whiff of disappointment in this longplayer." - Spill Magazine) and international television and videogame licensing presence (CBS - "CSI", Konami - "Dance Dance Revolution", Channel 4 - "Derren Brown trailer").
Momu's very first single "This Is Momu" was licensed to Global Underground to feature on the Afterhours series. Global Underground has also licensed "The Dive" for Nick Warren's Global Underground: Reykjavik (GU24). Momu's "Sunsicle"” is featured on Hyper's “Fractured” compilation on Bedrock. The Donner Pass / Sunsicle 12" has received highest acclaim on Bedrock Breaks. Current and forthcoming releases on quality labels such as Kubist, 3Beat Breaks, Bedrock Breaks, Functional Breaks, Sabotage Systems, nu-Republic, Spundae Records, and Loöq Records are bursting out of the pipeline with big support from the world's top DJ's including John Digweed, Sasha, Jerry Bonham, James Zabiela, DJ Hyper, Adam Freeland, Ashley Casselle, Nick Warren, Lee Burridge, Cass, Jonathan Lisle, Blackwatch, Steve Gerrard, Hernan Cattaneo, DJ19, Pako & Frederik, and Hybrid.
Momu's remix credits include Jamie Stevens "The Night Before" (Loöq Records) played by John Digweed on his Kiss FM show. The Momu remix of Marino Berardi's "Clear the Skies" (19Box) is popping ears in Japan and worldwide. Momu remixes of Cass's "Mind Rewind" (Sabotage), Sunscape's "Purled" (Kubist) and Justin O'Brien and Jonanthan's "Levitate" (Stellar) devastated dance floors.
In the visual arena, the music video of Momu's "The Dive" (directed

already gained recognition in many top-shelf film festivals including San
Francisco International, LA International Short, South by Southwest, Mill
