Whilst Cambridge is perhaps more famous for its university, folk festivals, shoddy football team and an inordinate amount of cyclists (yes, that's right!), it has produced two of the finest producers of dancefloor-hardened beats in Brad "Baloo" Ellis and Dom "Search" Betmead a.k.a THE NEXTMEN.

The duo formed way back in 1996 when they joined forces to remix Style by seminal UK hip-hop collective the London Posse, which featured the inimitable vocal stylings of Rodney P (with whom the duo have shared a long and productive working relationship) and in effect "put us on the map." (Baloo) What followed were albums Amongst the Madness (2000, 75 Ark) and Get Over It (2003, Scenario Records), which featured none other than Public Enemy, Blackalicious, The Pharcyde, Morcheeba, Cutty Ranks, J-Live, MC Penult.
