Nu:tone

Born in 1976, Dan Gresham aka Nu:Tone, started piano aged 8 and joined Jesus College choir in Cambridge a year later. He studied music at Durham University, and having secured a college radio show met a young John B. They shared broadcasts, established local clubnight ‘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 Spreadlove anthem 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 also 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.
After a short break creating a mini Nu:Tone, Dan has found time between nappy changes to finish 2006 with two brilliant drum and bass hors-d’oeuvres. “Things That Lovers Do” and “Missing Link” should get your mouth watering for some more Nu:Tone production next year. Keep It Locked!
