Hidden Fortress

Hidden Fortress are producers/artists slowly emerging from the shadows of ghostwriting and producing artists from around the world, remixing artists from any and every genre, highly involved the world of production and the evolution of new recording techniques. Fusing elements of every genre they storm through, assimilating techniques and evolving them. Hidden Fortress all began with the re-meeting of two very different minds, Matthew & Junko, Matthew a musician and Junko a video artist.

Hidden Fortress all began with the re-meeting of two very different minds, Matthew & Junko, Matthew a musician and Junko a video artist. The initial EP "Here We Are Right In Front Of You" was written and recorded in one week (only five copies ever printed), and was intended as more of a test of equipment and ability to see if it was a valid idea. Junko and Matthew agreed it was, and decided to form a group, an audio/visual/conceptual experience.

The name was chosen from Akira Kurosawa's film of the same name, and because of the intended and continued secrecy of who they really are, wanting to be judged on what they do, not what they were. After an initial request from a student of Matthew's "Wind Chill Factor" to be remixed their appetite grew, now Hidden Fortress re-mixes are spreading like a wild fire.


Hidden Fortress take pride in their curriculum vitae putting their official re-mixes of artists like Beastie Boys, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Le Tigre, Lennon & Jasmine Ash, right next to the lesser known artists like Super Blah Blah, Zatouchi & SexIsDrug on their lists. They are not afraid of pop music and they are not afraid of non-pop.

Now well over a 100 in number and almost 100 from Myspace artists alone. Ranging from classical to Hip Hop, Death Metal To Pop, Hidden Fortress assimilate and re-create leaving their mark on the music whilst having the utmost respect for the artists original intention. With their continued inertia Matthew & Junko have been able to work on "Secret Police" the Audio/visual/concept album/DVD in absolute secrecy.

And what's Junko been doing while Matthew slaves away making re-mixes for everyone, under the sun? Well she's had a baby in January 2006.

Hidden Fortress after completed several individual artist remixes are now re-mixing entire record labels back catalogues, classical composers and even radio shows?
