Oneman b2b My Nu Leng

There are DJs that are heavily tied to styles, people who go on to become figures synonymous with a certain sound or a particular approach to mixing; and then there are DJ's DJs – a different breed of people who manage to make the whole process of blending records from disparate genres look (and sound) seamless. Often, it's not just about beat matching perfectly, it's as much about capturing a mood and evolving it through your record selections as it is locking on to a consistent rhythm and that's something that Streatham bred DJ, Steve Bishop has proven himself to be mightily adept at over the years and his now ample fan base reflects that talent.

As much as his sets under the Oneman moniker may have started turning heads by melding old school UK garage with DMZ style dubstep, he's proven through his DJ sets and his regular presence on London institution Rinse FM that he can do so much more than just marry classics with current beats. Whether through his famed hip hop & R&B sets for The Boiler Room, the now legendary back to back sets with Jackmaster or opening for dance titans such as SBTRKT and Major Lazer, Oneman has that rare ability to destroy any party and leave you in no doubt who it was you've been listening to.

With two varied and acclaimed mix CDs, FABRICLIVE 64 and Rinse 15, to his name already, he's got plans to release a third mixtape in the New Year and that, combined with his European and US tours that are already in the offing before the end of the first quarter, makes it plain to see that 2013 will be further outlining Oneman's tireless passion and work ethic.


With two releases already under their belts for Black Butter Records, Tommy and Jammo have built on their tastemaker status to produce remixes for the likes of UK No.1 “La La La” by Naughty Boy, “Right Here” by Rudimental, and “Mozart’s House” by Clean Bandit. With Jammo originally hailing from High Wycombe and Tommy from Kent, the duo combined to form My Nu Leng when they moved to Bristol, taking influences from the spectrum of underground UK sounds with them – Drum and bass, Dubstep, UK garage and Grime all find outlets in their music. My Nu Leng are similarly known for their blistering sets and dark, smouldering vibe, heavy on the mood but always compulsively danceable. From their adopted home of Bristol – where early Reggae, Drum and Bass and Dubstep pioneers all the way to Massive Attack and Portishead informed their cultural history, both understood the heritage and importance of bass music in the city. Since then My Nu Leng have toured pretty much all over the world: the United States, Australia, New Zealand and Asia, all showing love and emphasising the realisation of how far they’ve come from their first singles to their most recent EP ‘Masterplan’ getting heavy radio support on BBC 1Xtra and BBC Radio 1 with Zane Lowe himself dropping it on his show. With the new EP on the way and a packed diary of live tour dates, these are exciting times for My Nu Leng, forming part of the core of the Black Butter family and proving they’re equally at home on underground tracks and Official Number One records. A tricky ask, Tommy and Jammo – just like their meteoric career so far – have made it look easy.
