Career edit
Choomba first started in Amsterdam. Christian picked up drums at high school before moving to Perth where an Avicii video on YouTube inspired him to try producing.[8]
On 11 March 2022, the duo announced their departure from Triple J after six months on air, citing a significant international tour schedule which they stated would "limit their ability to present the show to its full potential and capacity."[9]
Luude's "Down Under" remix success edit
In 2021, Luude remixed Men at Work's "Down Under" as a drum and bass track, which became popular song online. Men at Work's lead singer Colin Hay re-recorded the vocal for the track's official release on the Sweat It Out[10][11] record label[12] with the track, now credited to Luude featuring Colin Hay, charting at number 32 on the UK Singles chart on 7 January 2022[13][14] and at number 48 in Australia.[15]
