He is also half of Australian electronic duo Choomba.[2]

Life and career

[edit | edit source]

Christian Benson was born in Tasmania, Australia, the son of a guitar shredder, Mark. After high school, he relocated to Perth, Western Australia after being inspired by an Avicii YouTube clip encouraged him to try producing.[1]

Luude released his first single in December 2015.

On 3 September 2021, Luude released the EP 6AM.[3]

In 2021, Luude remixed Men at Work's "Down Under" as a drum and bass track. Men at Work's lead singer Colin Hay re-recorded the vocal for the track's official release in November 2021,[4] on the Sweat It Out label.[5][6] The record made the top ten in Australia and in the United Kingdom and was number one in New Zealand,[7] where by 6 February 2022, it had spent four weeks at the top, twice as many weeks as the original did in 1982.
