Nu:tone

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nu:Tone is a drum and bass artist on the Hospital Records label. His musical style is generally Drum and Bass, but has much more in common with Liquid Funk, one of the many sub-genres of drum & bass.

[edit] Background

Born in 1976, Nu:Tone (real name Dan Gresham) started playing piano at the age of 8, and joined Jesus College choir in Cambridge a year later. He studied music at Durham University, and while having secured a college radio show, met a young John B. They shared broadcasts, established local a local clubnight called "Substance", and Dan went on to engineering studio sessions for John. All these good vibes led to a debut vinyl release with John's Beta imprint in 2001: ('Grand Central' / 'The Boss').

Since signing to Hospital in 2003, Nu:Tone has come through the ranks to become one of the most highly respected producers in the scene, with everyone from LTJ Bukem to Dillinja busting his tunes. Nu:Tone’s remix’s are always guaranteed to please – whether it’s the retro soul of his "Spread Love" anthem with Lenny Fontana or the junglist wobble of his Strictly Social Re-rub.

His debut album “BRAVE NU WORLD” dropped in 2005 with all of the Drum & Bass' hierarchy supporting it. DJs Norman Jay M.B.E and Tom Middleton made Nu:Tone a favourite of their eclectic sets. Off the back of this success Nu:Tone has taken his DJing all over the world spreading hospital love from the USA to Asia to Australia. Somehow he has also found the time to remix Alice Russell, Quantic and produce a track for Jenna G, keep your eyes peeled for more from Cambridge's finest later this year (2006)...
