NUBREED LIVE BIO (aka Dirty Fours)
Nubreed have consistently set the pace of live Breaks in Australia, thanks in no small part to their amazing ability to deliver a show to a club culture audience that packs in all the dynamic energy and showmanship you’ve come to expect from a great rock band. Coupled with their awesome songwriting and production skills, this has established NuBreed as the leading, most progressive exponents of an influential and rapidly expanding global scene. But then, this was always their objective…
‘Absolutely awesome’ Hybrid (UK)
Jase, DB & Mykel (the NuBreed Collective) distilled decades of collective musical experience into NuBreed’s debut album entitled “The Original.” Their philosophy of the “style of no style” was clearly defined on this epic journey of filmic soundscapes, superb songwriting, and cranking urban derived rhythms. Mykel from NuBreed explains - “We incorporate all styles to define our own, not settling for the doctrines set by others.” Joining them in the studio for this album were production luminaries Andy Page (programming genius behind the likes of Sasha & BT), Luke Chable and special guests Koolism.
Nominated for 3 DMA's (Dance Music Awards) in 2002 for Best Debut Artist, Best Live Act, and Best New Release, and nominated for Best Live Act again at 2003 and 2004, Nubreed already have a supreme reputation for one of the most dynamic live shows in Australia. In the UK, they were nominated for Best New Artist at the BREAKSPOLL Awards (presented by BBC Radio One) and came 2nd in that category. They were nominated for an ARIA award for Best Dance Release for 2004 last year as well.
‘NuBreed are one of our favorite breakbeat acts, they are without a doubt one of the most inspiring acts out of Australia’
The Crystal Method (USA)
Long feted by the likes of Adam Freeland, Hybrid, Sasha, BT, Way Out West & Timo Maas, NuBreed are at the centre of a strong Australian scene. Together they have chalked up an impressive remix CV, with international artists Tiësto & Junkie XL (aka JXL – the genius behind the Elvis Presley remix of “A Little Less Conversation”), Scritti Politti, Way Out West, Apex, Skunk Anansie, and most recently the USA’s Crystal Method (featuring Wes Borland from Limp Biscuit on guitars). The Crystal Method’s single went on to win the Dancestar Award for Best Single at this year’s awards and charted it’s butt off around the globe - No. 3 on the Billboard Hot Club Play chart, No. 2 on the DJ Mag breaks chart, No. 7 on the DMC Buzz chart, and No. 3 on the national ARIA Club Chart in Australia. In addition, the track they remixed for Tiesto & Junkie XL hit the Top 60 singles chart in the UK. Nubreed are also known under their progressive four to the floor moniker, Dirty Fours. Their latest release as Dirty Fours on Eq Records (Breathless / Machines) received a great support by the likes of John Digweed and Sasha, and at the same time Progressive-Sounds.com proclaimed Breathless / Machines as two of the best songs of 2004.
‘NuBreed are by far my favourite live act… I think they’re going to be one of the biggest electronic music acts in the world’
Phil K (AUS)
On stage, NuBreed have played at some of the biggest events in Australia and Asia including Ministry of Sound in Taiwan, Powehouse (Centro) in Singapore supporting Junkie XL, Hong Kong, and Kuala Lumpur. In Australia Nubreed performed at Big Day Out (Australia’s Biggest Music Event, regular performers at Big Day Out are Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Marlyn Manson and other high profile artists), mainstage at Falls Festival, the Offshore Festival, Vibes On A Summer’s Day, mainstage at Two Tribes to over 10,000 punters. They’ve supported some of the world’s biggest mainstream, urban and dance acts including the Black Eyed Peas, De La Soul, Jamiroquai, Fatboy Slim, Junkie XL, Dave Seaman, Layo & Bushwacka, Sasha, Hybrid and many more. NuBreed were also asked to support Groove Armada nationally on their last Australian tour but had to turn it down due to their album writing commitments. Most recently, they headlined the Nokia sponsored ‘Breaks On N-Gage’ national tour of Australia to help launch the new Nokia N-Gage mobile phone. On the strength of their live performances alone, they have appeared on the cover of almost every major street press magazine in Australia over the last 12 months.
Since their signing to Vicious for Australia & New Zealand, & Mob Records in the UK, NuBreed have continued to devastate dance floors with their production prowess. Danny Bonnici from NuBreed teamed up with progressive producer Luke Chable to form Chable & Bonnici – knocking out an anthem called “Ride.” IDJ Magazine voted it the Progressive Tune of the Year, and Pete Tong made it his Essential Tune of the Month in MIXMAG, as well as the Essential New Tune on his Radio One show. The partnership worked so well, NuBreed and Luke got together again to write “One Day” – the lead single from the album “The Original”. After only a limited service of advance white labels, “One Day” spent 2 weeks in the Cool Cuts chart and was made Single of the Month in M8 Magazine. “One Day” then went on to hit the Top 10 UK dance sales chart, and is featured on Paul Oakenfold’s new Creamfields CD released globally last month. Back home in Australia, the response has been just as enthusiastic, with multiple cover stories appearing in daily newspapers, and a feature article in Rolling Stone Magazine.
Returning from their World Tour (October / November 2004) promoting their album. They performed at the notorious Fabric in London supporting Hybrid also DJ Magazine for their annual Top 100 DJ Party 2004. Just before ducking out of the UK the guys took in Brighton at Lloyd’s Supercharged party supporting Hybrid yet again. Thereafter Nubreed ventured to States and Canada performing in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Philadelphia, Denver and Burlington (Vermont). After a world wind tour it was now time to start some new Nubreed material and projects. In the meantime some long awaited releases and remixes have seen the light of day including “To Know” F.a.r.t remix (Distinctive records) and “Tokyo” Luke Chable vs Nubreed (Trojan records).
Distintive Y4K Album
Since the boys return it’s been full steam ahead. Distinctive records in their wisdom felt it was time for Nubreed to take the Y4K drivers seat. The Y4K compilations have a seen a string of innovative DJ’s/producers step up to the breaks plate and serve up their spin on the future sound of breaks dance music. These include Phil K, Hybrid and Tayo so the boys are in fine company indeed.
Watch out for this one!!!!!
