Choomba is a Perth-based electronic dance music duo from Western Australia, consisting of cousins and producers Christian Benson (also known as Luude) and Timothy Benson. Formed in 2019, their expertise lies in tech house and bass music, with production primarily carried out through digital audio workstations. They have secured recording contracts with prominent labels such as Spinnin' Records and EMI Music Australia.
The duo achieved notable recognition with their single "La Luh," which was featured heavily on Triple J, Australia's national youth broadcaster. Their live sets have been showcased at leading Australian festivals including Wildlands Festival, Spilt Milk, and The Grass Is Greener. Between August 2021 and March 2022, Choomba broadened their presence by hosting The Nudge, an electronic music show on Triple J.
Career
Initially formed in Amsterdam, Choomba eventually established their base in Perth. Christian Benson’s musical journey began with drumming during his school years, later shifting to music production influenced by a YouTube tutorial about Avicii.
On 11 March 2022, the duo announced their exit from Triple J after six months hosting The Nudge, attributing the decision to an extensive international touring itinerary that hindered their ability to sustain the program's quality.
Luude's remix of "Down Under"
In 2021, Luude created a drum and bass remix of Men at Work's classic track "Down Under," which gained widespread online attention. For the official release under the Sweat It Out label, Men at Work’s lead vocalist Colin Hay re-recorded the vocal track. Released as Luude featuring Colin Hay, this version peaked at number 32 on the UK Singles Chart on 7 January 2022 and reached number 48 in Australia.
Musical style and influences
Choomba’s sound is characterized by a fusion of tech house and bass elements.
