about

We are proud to announce the new record POUND FOR POUND, a twelve track collaboration between much loved music makers The Nextmen, and Leeds to London lads of live dancefloor destruction Gentleman͛s Dub Club. This is both a musical masterclass in that uniquely UK tradition, blending dancehall, dub, ska, reggae, roots and rap, and a foray to fields of future fun: meticulously tight and precise production that͛s soaked in swagger and sway.

This is an album to put on and instantly warm to, and repeat and repeat and repeat. This sound – this blend – is in essence both effortless and exciting. It͛s heavy and welcome. And the raft of raucous guest vocals from a list that warms the heart and loosens the layers is at the same time intense, charming and captivating. These names need next to no further navigation - Eva Lazarus, Kiko Bun, Joe Dukie (Fat Freddy͛s Drop), Chali 2na (Jurassic 5), Hollie Cook, P Diggs (Shapeshifter), Gardna, J Man & Parly B – these masters making manna will swerve your ears from sweet to sweaty, rolling golden boozy banging joints that force the fancy from hips to hands in the air.

We͛re all aware that The Nextmen know a good groove having been the purveyors of people͛s pleasure for two decades deep. Releasing their own albums, setting clubs and festivals ablaze and working with everyone from ZTrip, Public Enemy, Wilkinson, The Pharcyde, Ms Dynamite, Groove Armada, Plan B, Fat Freddy͛s Drop, Tippa Irie, Cutty Ranks and a million more, this duo are the doyens of the dancefloor. Nine-piece Gentleman͛s Dub Club͛s live shows are a legendary mix of unbridled talent, frenzied fun and infectious energy, reflecting their desire for a damn hot dubbed out paradise of pure celebration. Their studio albums carry that same cool to coddle, embracing sounds so wild and free with focus, passion and precision.

Imagine the joy that͛s been made from this creative chorus of The Nextmen vs Gentleman͛s Dub Club. A collaboration that has produced the brilliant ͚Pound For Pound͛, big tunes, easy on the ears that will lovingly linger on many, many soundsystems for the foreseeable future. DUB-ble the trouble!
