With five solo studio albums to boast, as well as a wealth of singles and EPs, Nu:Tone’s
tracks can always be heard across dancefloors and throughout the festival circuit. Since
joining the Hospital Records A&R team and setting up his own mixing and mastering
business his ‘own music took a bit of a backseat’. It’s been six long years since Nu:Tone’s
seminal ‘Future History’ album in 2014 and now Hospital is thrilled to present the creative
mastery that is ‘Little Spaces’.
“Back in January 2020 I had a dream one night that I was holding my new album, and
it had the words ‘Little Spaces’ on the front. I wrote that down as soon as I woke up,
and the more I thought about it, the more it made sense. As much as I love playing at
festivals and huge events, I feel most at home in a small capacity club, in a DJ booth
rather than on a stage. This is music that hopefully still makes sense when it’s listened
to in all the ‘little spaces’ that we find ourselves in at the moment. I’m really excited to
play this music on a big system when society finally opens back up. Until then, I hope
this album will be a source of comfort or distraction, in whatever little space you find
yourself listening to it.” - Nu:Tone
Ever the tastemaker, Nu:Tone has been at the forefront of guiding and bringing through
the next generation of artists, particularly focused on collaborating with new and previously
unheard vocalists in drum & bass, placing them at the heart of the songwriting
process which is beautifully demonstrated on ‘Little Spaces’. Embodying his classic
sound and drawing influence from the iconic Korg M1 synth, One Day At A Time features
stunning harmonies from Lalin St. Juste, based out of the San Francisco Bay Area where
she also heads up the genre-bending six-piece band The Seshen. Nu:Tones’ long-standing
collaborative relationship with Lea Lea has been refreshed, with two features on the
album on ‘Instincts’ and ‘The Moment’.
‘Jonas’ brings old-school flavours into 2021 with a slick introduction infused with halftime
breaks, before cutting to the chase as some of the most meticulously crafted
drums and a killer bassline take centre stage.
Hazy arpeggios and twinkling chimes set the scene on ‘Sleepwalker’ which sees two
liquid drum & bass legends join forces. Pairing up with Charlotte Haining who delivers
her signature anthemic vocal style, skippy breaks and pressing bass lays the foundation
for a truly remarkable collaboration of two highly esteemed artists.
‘Instincts (feat. Lea Lea)’ sees soulful synth stabs from the off, a clear nod to Nu:Tone’s
love for house music, before Lea Lea injects sinister amounts of groove with her commendable
vocal abilities. Expect stripped back dexterity in signature Nu:Tone fashion,
this one means business.
A mainstay of Hospital Records since 2003, Nu:Tone’s contribution to both the label and
the wider drum & bass has been highly commendable. From his debut album ‘Brave
Nu World’ in 2005 to new-wave anthems such as ‘Everlasting Days (feat. Lifford)’ produced
alongside his brother and fellow label legend Logistics, and remixes for the likes
of Adele, EmeliSande and Plan B, Nu:Tone’s music has welcomed support from an array
of legends like LTJ Bukem, Annie Mac, Andy C, High Contrast, Sigma, Sub Focus, Norman
Jay, Marcus Intalex, Bryan Gee, DJ Marky, and Laurent Garnier to name but a few.
