With five solo studio albums to boast, as well as a wealth of singles and EPs, Nu:Tonestracks can always be heard across dancefloors and throughout the festival circuit. Sincejoining the Hospital Records A&R team and setting up his own mixing and masteringbusiness his own music took a bit of a backseat. Its been six long years since Nu:Tonesseminal Future History album in 2014 and now Hospital is thrilled to present the creativemastery that is Little Spaces.Back in January 2020 I had a dream one night that I was holding my new album, andit 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 atfestivals and huge events, I feel most at home in a small capacity club, in a DJ boothrather than on a stage. This is music that hopefully still makes sense when its listenedto in all the little spaces that we find ourselves in at the moment. Im really excited toplay this music on a big system when society finally opens back up. Until then, I hopethis album will be a source of comfort or distraction, in whatever little space you findyourself listening to it. - Nu:ToneEver the tastemaker, Nu:Tone has been at the forefront of guiding and bringing throughthe next generation of artists, particularly focused on collaborating with new and previouslyunheard vocalists in drum & bass, placing them at the heart of the songwritingprocess which is beautifully demonstrated on Little Spaces. Embodying his classicsound and drawing influence from the iconic Korg M1 synth, One Day At A Time featuresstunning harmonies from Lalin St. Juste, based out of the San Francisco Bay Area whereshe also heads up the genre-bending six-piece band The Seshen. Nu:Tones long-standingcollaborative relationship with Lea Lea has been refreshed, with two features on thealbum on Instincts and The Moment.Jonas brings old-school flavours into 2021 with a slick introduction infused with halftimebreaks, before cutting to the chase as some of the most meticulously crafteddrums and a killer bassline take centre stage.Hazy arpeggios and twinkling chimes set the scene on Sleepwalker which sees twoliquid drum & bass legends join forces. Pairing up with Charlotte Haining who deliversher signature anthemic vocal style, skippy breaks and pressing bass lays the foundationfor 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:Toneslove for house music, before Lea Lea injects sinister amounts of groove with her commendablevocal abilities. Expect stripped back dexterity in signature Nu:Tone fashion,this one means business.A mainstay of Hospital Records since 2003, Nu:Tones contribution to both the label andthe wider drum & bass has been highly commendable. From his debut album BraveNu World in 2005 to new-wave anthems such as Everlasting Days (feat. Lifford) producedalongside his brother and fellow label legend Logistics, and remixes for the likesof Adele, EmeliSande and Plan B, Nu:Tones music has welcomed support from an arrayof legends like LTJ Bukem, Annie Mac, Andy C, High Contrast, Sigma, Sub Focus, NormanJay, Marcus Intalex, Bryan Gee, DJ Marky, and Laurent Garnier to name but a few.Tracklisting:Sleepwalker (feat.
