Matthew ‘Bushwacka!’ and Layo Paskin first hooked up at the studios of mutual friend Mr C, and developed a production and DJ partnership that has seen them score three critically acclaimed albums, as well as residencies at major clubs around the world.

In the mid 90s the duo begun recording together, and in 1998 released their debut long player, the critically acclaimed ‘Low Life’ on The End’s in-house label, End Recordings. In 2002 they released ‘Night Moves’ through one of the UK’s biggest and best independent labels, XL Recordings. This album contained ‘Love Story’, one of the biggest club anthems of the year, which, along with singles from the album ‘Let The Good Times Roll’ and ‘Shining Through’, enjoyed chart success. The album’s success gave them the platform to take the live show on the road, which received widespread acclaim.

Layo & Bushwacka! went on to score residencies at some of the world’s most celebrated clubs, from Space in Ibiza to Sirena and Warung in Brazil, and perfectly captured their sound on their double mix CD ‘All Night Long’ in 2003. In 2005, Layo and Matthew set up their own label, Olmeto Records, and released their third album ‘Feels Closer’ in February 2006.
