Press Release :
Where are our Jetpacks? Our Time Traveling Machines? Our Flying Cars? Hmm? Huh? They're not here and we thought we ought to point this out. Alright, so it may have taken us 3 years, a lot of toilet humour and yet more hair loss and weight gain, but it's here. Or at least it will be on June 11th. The third Nextmen album, This Was Supposed To Be The Future.

Fourteen spanking new studio tracks are inbound for your listening pleasure. Got a short attention span? That little 5 minute sampler should get you in the mood. For those who've been supporting us via our DJ sets all over the world for the past decade, you'll have seen how we throw in all kinds of music into the pot and stitch it together into one big slab of nightclub vibration. You'll have seen how we don't care about genres... It's all about the music. You'll know that we like to be a part of the crowd we play to, that mid set Brad is just as likely to mix up a Whiskey Coke as he is a tune, or that Dom might order one too many bottles of wine. It's all there on this album (minus the whisky coke and the wine – you'll have to get those yourself).

There's a lot more songwriting, a lot more of our own musicality and a bit less rapping. And we brought some friends with us... Dynamite MC, Alice Russell and Faithless' LSK to name a few. Plus Sway and Bridgitte Amofah drop by to lend a hand alongside North London's soul phenomenon Zarif who belts her way onto three songs. The Part Time Heroes have added a serious dash of brass into the mixture, and we even brought Niney The Observer (he of Blood Fire's hook) out of a twenty year retirement to feature on his own track 'Let It be'.

We're really happy and excited by it all, even if the last few months of production involved some stupidly late nights tweaking hihats with Mr Mawdsley, plenty of diva-esque tantrums and the odd 'F**k this I'm going solo'. But on the 11th of June our third album will be available so you can make up your own minds. Can't wait that long? Come to the launch party! Thursday June 7th at Cargo, Rivington Street, London. If you're expecting the usual 4 deck join-the-dots malarkey then you won't be disappointed, although you might be a little surprised (pleasantly) about what else we have up our sleeves...

The Nextmen.
