MHz (or The Megahertz) are an American hip-hop crew from Columbus, Ohio. Formed in 1995, the group originally consisted of MC's Copywrite 78 and Camu Tao with their DJ RJD2. Tage Proto joined in 1997, while Copywrite and Jakki Da Motamouth had a separate group called Opium Prodigy. In 2000, Jakki officially joined the Megahertz crew.

Their first single "World Premier" was released in 1998 after Bobbito heard it on a tape they dropped off with him in NYC. Bob went on to release "Rocket Science" as well as Jakki's "Widespread" singles. Copywrite's debut album "Holier Than Thou" came out on Rawkus in 2000, and Camu Tao released "Hear Me Talking To You" on B.U.K.A Entertainment the following year.

In 2001, they released a compilation CD titled "Table Scraps," which featured previous work that had only been available on vinyl along with live recordings from their appearances on WKCR.

Function is an aesthetic exploration of digital audio at an elemental level: a sequence of quantized amplitude values. The entire sonic material in this series are generated through a custom-designed program that takes a mathematical function as input, and based on a set of pre-defined criteria, outputs the function as a digital waveform. Accordingly, each track in this series is named after one mathematical function, where the function itself is used as the only sound-generating engine. These raw sonic materials are then processed through a number of common audio effects, and organized and structured into a compositional form. Function builds on an ongoing investigation into realization of brutalist aesthetics through sound and audiovisual media. Through a reductionist approach towards its distinctly digital sonic structures, the work embraces the crude limitations of its medium as the primary aesthetic construct. It uses mathematically architected tonal and rhythmic structures to allow for a celebratory exposure of its “anti-beautiful" raw material. In doing so, it projects an uncompromising clarity of structure, a conscious negation of interpolation, and a steadfast refusal to hide the machine’s footprint. Mo H. Zareei aka mHz is an Iranian electronic musician, sound artist, and researcher, based in Wellington, New Zealand. Using custom-built software and hardware, his experiments with sound cover a wide range from electronic compositions to kinetic sound-sculptures and audiovisual installations.
