P.S. The band will be showcasing this material and
more in the Boom Boom Room this Saturday if anyone
wants to see Electronic Music done in a live format
please drop in, details are below.



Band – Nu Phuse – Charles Mingus meets Aphex Twin
meets Massive Attack.

Date – 02/07/05

Venue – Boom Boom Room, Upstairs in Conway’s Pub
Parnell St.

Kick off - 8.30pm

Price - €8

Musicians –

Electronics/Samples – Kevin Dwan

Piano – So Yung Yoon

Drums – Conor Murray

Double Bass – Gavin Lockhart

Saxophones – Sean Og





Nu-Phuse are a concept band where the musicians
effortlessly blend a myriad of styles - Jazz, House,
Techno, Funk, Electronica, Ambience, Cinematic
Backdrops and Breakbeats into a deep and intense
soundscape defying description. This sonic assault is
created by the band’s willingness to integrate
acoustic instruments such as Double Bass, Drums, Sax
and Piano with electronic ones such as Samplers, Drum
Machines and a Host of other electronic gadgets.



The band anchored by the powerful funk inflected
hip-hop/Drum ‘n’ Bass grooves and breakbeats of Conor
Murray on drums started out as an experiment on how to
blend electronics and samples along with the live
interplay of the musicians. The samples and
electronics supplied with perfect accuracy by Kevin
Dwan create dark atmospheres for Saxophonist Sean Og
to weave in and out of, almost as if they were locked
in some other worldly dialogue with one another.
Fattening up the rhythm and egging on the front line
is Gavin Lockhart on Double Bass directing the music
with his growling and synth processed Mingustonian
bass lines. Whilst the classically trained So Yung
Yoon provides a harmonic flexibility which the band
revel in.

Bassbin is the best drum and bass club in Dublin by a mile.

Executive Steve

they don't have a weekly club any more though... [sadly! as soon as they start up again i'm not going to bother promoting gigs any more - i only put on a night because there's nowhere else to go!] we've had a good few of the bassbin heads down to play at our night, we had Don Rosco at the last one, and we're going to be getting the likes of genie and naphta etc in the future, but we're also giving people who play stuff that mightn't have gone down too well at a bassbin night a gig here and there - drum and bass is all about variety doncha know!
