The Nextmen
The Nextmen History
You may have heard of The Nextmen. In fact, unless you’ve been captive
in Guantanamo Bay for the most of the Noughties, we’d wager you’d
definitely heard of them and more than likely witnessed them at one of
their many festival-stopping summer performances or heard their
incendiary mixtapes on the neighbourhood ghetto blaster. Dom (real
name: Dominic Betmead) and Brad (real name: Brad Ellis) joined forces
when Brad blagged a remix for London Posse and realised he didn’t have
any kit with which to do it. In stepped Dom with his Roland S10 and not
much else. “The track was called Style,” chips in Dom, “But it put us
on the map. Everybody loved it. Radio 1 got hold of it.” “It was 75 bpm
and really pedestrian,” deadpans Brad. “Fucking terrible.”
The Nextmen
The Boys LiveCambridge is mainly known for its famous university, an inordinate amount of cyclists, a terrible football team, a river made for punting, a folk festival and being the home of Stephen Hawking, Clive James and Jeffrey Archer. It is not, one must admit, the first place one would look for producers of dancefloor-hardened beats. It is nevertheless, the city that gave birth to The Nextmen, also known as Brad Baloo and Dom Search.
