Nu:tone, Utah Jazz & Jenna G
The people who brought the sell-out show featuring Fabio to the Hare and Hounds on February 13th return with more upfront liquid music to uplift and soothe your soul.
Since signing to Hospital in 2003, Nu:Tone has come through the ranks to become a highly respected producer, with other drum & bass producers & DJs such as LTJ Bukem and Dillinjaplaying his tunes in their DJ sets. He also introduced his brother Matt (Logistics) to drum & bass production through their collaboration Nu:logic, which led to Matt being signed to Hospital records aswell.
His debut album Brave new World was released in 2005, with the drum & bass community greatly supporting it. DJs such as Norman Jay and Tom Middleton 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, from USA to Asia to Australia. He has also remixed tracks from Alice Russell and Quantic as well as producing a track for Jenna G. Nu:tone is tailor made for this venue.

In music Jenna is well known for her vocal and writing talents on a number of distinguished underground tracks in a number of genres but more prolifically in Drum n Bass, the genre of her own highly successful first solo album For Lost Friends released on the Bingo Beats record label March 2006. Tracks from the album were produced by a variety of prominent drum and bass producers such as Nu:tone, Kabuki, Friction, D Bridge, D KAY and TC1. After her band split, Jenna G continued singing and writing songs for EMI publishing which saw her working with So Solid’s JD, Danni Minogue and Aleesha Dixon amongst others. It was during this time in London that she was picked up by the BBC’s black music radio station, 1Xtra.
Having gained a solo spot on the BBC’s 1Xtra 2 years back, Jenna can be found every weekend morning bringing you a jam packed show of the best in black music, entertainment and a live listener generated request show.
Jenna G is currently the official vocalist for The Shapeshifters having appeared on their first album as songwriter and backing vocalist. The new album Do Not Disturb which features her songwriting and vocal talents was released in 2008.
We also welcome back Utah Jazz who smashed up the Hare and hounds in February and celebrate the launch of his new album vintage. Luke Wilson’s career started in the mid 90;s, when he began to DJ and learn the production ropes with D and B legend Alex Reece. Several years later, the trademark, solo Utah Jazz was born leading to a release for Hospital Records and a large number of tracks on Liquid V. In 2006, Utah Jazz received widespread international acclaim with his remix of Roni Sizes classic, “It’s a jazz thing”. Thanks to support from dance music heavyweights Zane Lowe, Annie Mac, Pendulum, Andy C and Grooverider, chart success soon followed with the remix reaching number 1 in the Radio 1 dance charts.
Production aside, check this man out on the decks and you’ll begin to realise why he’s now one of the most in demand DJs on the world Drum n Bass circuit.
Relentless touring around the globe include headline gigs and festivals fro the likes of Vestax in Poland, Smirnoff in Prague and Red Bull in the Siberian mountains! Closer to home, Utah’s high energy, funk-fuelled performances have made him a firm favourite at London clubs Fabric Live, Movement, The End and Ministry of Sound.
“The wonderful Utah Jazz remix of Roni Size is one of the biggest D and B tracks in the WORLD right now, I had to rewind this four times!!” (Fabio – BBC Radio 1)
