Binary Finary are a British trance act, originally comprising Matt Laws, Ricky Grant and Stuart Matheson.[2] They are best known for the dance hit single "1998", especially for the Paul van Dyk and Gouryella remixes, which charted in many countries.[3] The song was remixed numerous times under the title of the year the remix was produced ("1999" and "2000" etc.), many of which were popular.[3] In the UK, "1998" reached a peak position of No. 24[4] on the UK Singles Chart whereas "1999" reached No. 11.[4][5]

On 1 May 2006, they released a collection of 16 tracks written over their eight-year sabbatical under the general title, The Lost Tracks.[6] This album is available only for download. Binary Finary are also featured in a Shiny Toy Guns song, "When Did This Storm Begin?".

On New Year's Eve 2009, Binary Finary launched 'Binary Finary LIVE' which featured both original and remixed tracks. The launch venue was Sensation at the Etihad Stadium in Melbourne.[7] In 2009 Australian DJ Sasha Vatoff joined the group to tour as DJ and co-produce on new material.[8] In 2018 Binary Finary released a 20th anniversary "modern update" of "1998", including remixes by Mark Sixma and Dosem.[9]
