Fri 03 Apr 2009: GLOBAL Underground's Nu Breed tour pods down in Bristol with a night celebrating Empathy's resident done good -Jim Rivers. Boasting releases on Bedrock and collaborations with Paolo Mojo, Rivers is the DJ chosen to resurrect the Nu Breed series from its seven-year sleep and, tonight, he helps the club that helped build his name celebrate its eighth birthday in its new venue Basement 45.
In its day, the Nu Breed series acted as a vital platform for DJs like Steve Lawler and Danny Howells before they stepped up to the Global Underground series proper and Rivers will be proving he is capable of following their footsteps with a four hour set spanning tech, progressive and funkier, more eclectic beats.
Jack2front and Stuart Wilkinson support, while room two takes a more relaxed turn with a live set from JoAsh serving up nu-jazz and mellow electronica.
