Prior to their Indian tour, The Sherp chats with My Nu Leng about bass music, their influences and how the monikerโMy Nu Lengโ actually came about
Hey guys, welcome to India! What are looking forward to the most, while youโre here?
Definitely looking forward to playing the shows the most. We canโt wait to showcase our music in India. We have heard great things about the scene in India.
Weโre curious to know, whatโs the story behind your moniker โMy Nu Leng?
A drunken night looking for a name to label some music we had made, we used it to DJ mainly then we got a few tracks signed and the rest is historyโฆ
ย
Even though your music is very bass heavy, itโs hard to label. How would you describe your fresh sound?
Dark and Moody drum and bass influenced dance music at around 130BPM or simply UK Bass music.
Apart from your massive track โMasterplanโ, we quite like some of the remixes youโve done with Rudimental and Jillionaire. Do you have any more remixes in the works that ย we should look out for?
Nothing at the moment, we are currently working on our next EP for Black Butter Records.
What are the two of you listening to collectively listening to these days? Any contemporary artistes you draw inspiration from?
Weโre listening and working with as many talented producers as we can. Though the few that stand out are dismantle, distro, troy gunner and sam binga who are all currently living in Bristol.
As far as production goes, do you guys divide and conquer, or are you both part of all creative processes?
There is no hard and fast rule but we have a great mutual understanding and respect for each others talent and let it grow organically from there.
Lastly, are there any particular bands or artistes youโre interested in collaborating with in the future? Also are there any Indian artistes youโve heard of or like?
We would love to work with as many diverse and original talents as we can, we have been working with a lot more vocalists recently and canโt wait for people to hear what we have forthcoming.
