Release Notes
------------
Unless you have fallen lifeless somewhere through the cracks you've more than
likely witnessed Cambridge come Londoners The Nextmen, also known as Brad Baloo
and Dom Search, at one of their many sweaty styled-out club sets,
festival-stopping performances or heard their incendiary mixtapes on the
neighbourhood ghetto blaster.
This eclectic production duo have carved another shiny gem from London's lovely
low-end underbelly with a mix of electronic music styles in the form of their
fourth studio LP 'Join The Dots' due to hit the streets in August. In typical
Nextmen fashion the game has been sonically upped to dizzying heights as 'Join
The Dots' progressed like a paint by numbers prayer of affection through all the
genres and styles that are loved by the pair and their fans alike. The album was
born from their explosive and eclectic DJ sets, which have been the focus of
global critical acclaim over the last 12 years. Making this connection between
music they love, be it dancehall, drum'n'bass, instrumental and actual hip hop,
soul, funk, dubstep, indie, leftfield, ambient, pop and straight-up hands in the
air party jacking pleasers, is something Baloo and Search always strive to
achieve, weaving their way on 4 turntables with mastery and abandon, laced with
their own sought after mash-up edits, bootlegs and specials. This studio record
is certainly a reflection and reaction to what they have accomplished as DJs and
is a natural follow up to their last critically acclaimed album 'This Was
Supposed To Be The Future' (released in June 2007).
'Join The Dots' has those classic Nextmen moments. 'The Lions Den' is testimony
to this and features co-production from fellow former Cambridge resident Andy
Cato (Groove Armada) and a stunning return to form from the mighty Ms. Dynamite
in a tune that is set to burn down dancefloors all summer long. Other
performances include stellar contributions from long-time Nextmen collaborator
Dynamite MC on the new-reggae sound of 'So Many Girls' and The Meters inspired
hip hop feel-good throw-down that is 'Round Of Applause'. Further moments to
inspire the skank and wobble come from the likes of Banana Clan Man Jimmy
Screech, newcomers Betty Steeles and Roll Deep affiliate Kivanc, but it also
tilts its hat in a major way to the electronic/dance/club music world, something
the lads have been keen to do for a long time. Elsewhere on the record
highlights come in the form of Lindsay West on 'Burn', an emotional and detailed
piece of electronic nu-folk with haunting strings and crisp, tight drums, not to
mention the powerful instrumental tracks again nodding towards the dancefloor in
the form of 'Stay At Home', complete with punishing beats and basslines, and on
the stunning title track 'Join The Dots', which has been described as
'underwater jungle'.
