"I'm not just saying this, but in my opinion, this is the best drum and bass album this decade, by a mile!"
-ED RUSH

"An amazingly complete album from start to finish - the Upbeats have redefined future funk!"
-DIESELBOY

Since crashing into the local scene in 2004 with their self-titled debut album, The Upbeats have continued to forge an impressive reputation as both masters of their craft and the future of drum & bass - and with 'Nobody's Out There', they take a new step in their journey to the top of the global dance music scene.

Enjoying both critical & commercial success with 'The Upbeats', the duo of Jeremy Glenn + Dylan Jones have positioned themselves among world leaders of the genre, recording & releasing through influential imprints BC Presents, Ed Rush & Optical's Virus Recordings, Violence Recordings, Soul:R, Subtitles, Project51 and Project Human; and all the while keeping up an extensive touring schedule that has seem them in demand across the globe.

Their electric live performance has seen them tour Europe 4 times, the U.S.A 3 times, another stop in Japan and numerous trips around New Zealand and Australia. Along the way they've played alongside the cream of international drum & bass, notably Grooverider, Andy C, Roni Size, Pendulum, DJ Hype, Zinc, DieselBoy, Concord Dawn, Shapeshifter and Bad Company.

Producing music together for 7 years, this Kiwi duo have crafted a sound that is both inventive & diverse, ranging between frenetic + energetic liquid funk, intensely moody and claustrophobic drum & bass, as well as soulful indulgences of elevation. But what sets the lads apart from other producers is their urge with 'Nobody's Out There', to take this form of electronica to a groundbreaking new level.

Their intense & rich sound remains, but with 'Nobody's Out There' they have produced a cohesive, structured album. This is no collection of random tracks & dancefloor hits. The hits are there - believe us! - but the album is a story-lined trip, combined with a fantasy tale about one man's personal journey, sharing the pages of an elaborate booklet with stunning artworks commissioned especially by The Upbeats using Wellington` artists Wade Cowin, Kelly Thompson and Michael Hope.

2007 was a breakthrough year for The Upbeats and a landmark time for drum & bass in genenral. Taking the artform of high-intensity grooves to new levels, with 'Nobody's Out There' The Upbeats have produced one of the finest, most original & captivating releases to ever grace this genre of music.

"The Upbeats bring us a great slab of futuristic drum & bass that spares no prisoners!!"
-DJ Hype
