Nubreed

NuBreed have consistently set the pace 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) have distilled decades of collective musical experience into NuBreed's debut album entitled "The Original". Their philosophy of the "style of no style" is finally 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 last year's awards, NuBreed already have a supreme reputation for one of the most dynamic live shows in Australia. In the UK last year they were nominated for Best New Artist at the BREAKSPOLL awards (presented by BBC Radio One) and came 2nd in that category.

'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 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 some of the biggest events here in Australia including the Boiler Room at Big Day Out, mainstage at Falls Festival, the Offshore Festival, Vibes On A Summer's Day, mainstage at Two Tribes, and many more. 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 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've 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 dancefloors 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 Progr
