Li Kwan (Alias of Matt Darey) - Point Zero (1994)
Matt Darey: "Li Kwan (aka Paul Austin) was one of my many aliases from when I started out as a successful producer in 1993. I had to make up a different alias for each label I signed to as they all wanted exclusivity. I signed it to Seka Records owned by House legend Dave Lee ZR (aka Joey Negro, Jakarta, Raven Maize). Point Zero got me noticed for the first time being finally released on the major label BMG / Deconstruction. It was actually the B side of a commercial house record that got huge daytime radio airplay. However, I always knew Point Zero was the real gem. Pete Tong made both sides of the vinyl his essential new tune of the week. Paul Oakenfold made Li Kwan part of his legendary Goa mix and support from so many other credible DJ’s got me noticed for the first time. Li Kwan - Point Zero is now regarded as a trance track but predated trance as a genre. One of 93 tracks on my album Retrospective (25 years) out now on Armada Music."
