Momu is J.D. Moyer (the MO, aka Jondi of Jondi & Spesh) and Mark Musselman (the MU). In 2001 their first EP "This Is Momu" on Loöq Records announced a fusion style of breakbeat that pulled elements from progressive house, funky electro, and a new landscape of straight-up weirdness. A series of seminal releases including "Sunsicle" (Bedrock Breaks), and "Bring It On Back" (Spundae Records) helped define an emerging genre that eventually became known as progressive breaks.

Momu's soaring breaks track "The Dive" was championed by Nick Warren (on Global Underground's "Reykjavik"). Director Kia Simon created a music video that won numerous artistic awards as well as introducing Momu to the MTV audience (Momu tracks can still be heard in many MTV shows). During this same time Momu released a flurry of original tracks and remixes on Kubist, 3Beat Breaks, Bedrock Breaks, Functional Breaks, Sabotage Systems, nu-Republic, Spundae Records, and Loöq Records, receiving support and admiration from the world's top DJ's including John Digweed, Sasha, Annie Nightingale, James Zabiela, DJ Hyper, Adam Freeland, Ashley Casselle, Lee Burridge, Cass, Jonathan Lisle, Hernan Cattaneo, DJ19, Pako & Frederik, and Hybrid.

In 2006 Momu released their debut self-titled album to stunning critical acclaim. M8 Magazine said "you'll struggle to find anything as perfectly formed as this collection from breakbeat visionaries Momu." DJ Mag callled the album a "sophisticated brew ... they fuse their breaks with ethereal textures that conjure natural landscapes." Spill Magazine opined "An absolutely cracking album from start to finish, there's not even a whiff of disappointment in this longplayer." The album did exceptionally well commercially too, scoring licensing deals for the US's most popular TV show "CSI", and the world's biggest video game at the time "Dance Dance Revolution."

2008 brings the release of Momu's follow-up album "Momentum." Unfettered by anything except the breakbeat form itself, Momu has always fearlessly experimented, often dangerously veering either in front of or off to the side of mainstream styles. "Momentum" is no exception, flirting with a pop format in tracks like "Window" and "Truckin" but also including math-nerd experimentation with the fibonacci sequence (both rhythmically and tonally) in "Just Listen", layered minimalistic ultra-high frequency melodic lines in "X500", and a 5/4 meter breakbeat layered over a 4/4 bassline in the (digital version only) bonus track "Indeed". "Momentum" also brings back Momu's favorite vocalist Alysoun Quinby (featured on Momu's hit "The Dive") on many tracks (and the album cover). Bassist J-Bone complements the electronic dimension with live instrumentation and tight funk lines on several tracks. Momu may have broken the "progressive-breaks" mold it helped create - this new album is much more playful and uplifting than the genre may allow - but Momu's signature sonic weirdness, insanely high production values, and larger than life hooks are still front and center.
