Influences: The Nextmen

Since the late nineties The Nextmen have been a duo pioneering the true essence of crate digging, beat making and party rocking. Their taste is eclectic, diverse and well studied: their personalities engaging and excitable in the booth. The music they play transcends genre and you never quite know what your going to get from one of their sets. True champions of the British underground they have played an important role in the UK hip hop scene for many years having produced beats for the likes of Rodney P, Braintax and Dynamite MC. We caught up with the duo ahead of their four hour set at The Book Club on the 2nd of April to talk influences. Here are their selections.

So sick. The song’s a beaut and Sohn’s production fits perfectly. Moody and uplifting all at the same time. It’s synth heaven and the drop into more space in the chorus is masterly.
