nsu's music project started to gain significant momentum in 2006 thanks to the first installment of the "Our Way" dance parties and a backing from UPFM's NZ producers' showcase radio show (which he later co-hosted!) "Ouur Show". After three demo EP's, "zero.point.one", "coldblooded" and with the latest "zero blood remixes" release now firmly behind, Ivan is workin on new demos, and bringing old ones back to life.
He's also started a new show on UP FM along with Romantech & Nikolozi - Beat Dungeon Radio (myspace.com/beatdungeonradio) - Go check it out, oh, and subscribe to the podcast while you're at it...:
Inspired by of some of dance music's live heavyweights from the 90's, nsu contracted a case of "itchy fingers" and found the desire to start producing own material. This was preceeded by an early obsession of creating mix-tapes, where the only "mixing" was done by pressing the pause button on the tape player while recording. Hardcase.
With newly-found motivation, there is a lot more to come in the near future from nsu. Keep your eyes and ears peeled!
Influences
The Prodigy, The Chemical Brothers, Concord Dawn, Salmonella Dub, Pitch Black, Minuit, Shapeshifter, Leftfield, Daft Punk, Empirion, Underworld, The Future Sound of London, Orbital, The Orb, 808 State, Massive Attack, Radiohead, U2, The Smashing Pumpkins, Garbage, Soundgarden,...
Sounds Like
A mash-up of all of my influences and my insanity! No, seriously!

pssh.. man. I apologize; I try to look after him but I have a life myself- looks like hes off his schedule; hes put up a new track every other sunday for the past 6 weeks and looks like hes failed this time- I hear his keyboard is already packed... guess hes moving....
thanks for the play this weekend. Still need to finish that- Kieron and I arent really talking and Im not gonna push it... hope something comes out of it..
Hello new Electrode friend, Thanks for accepting my friend request :) I'd like to take a minute to let you know about the latest release from Electrode Records. We're pleased to announce Remix Picnic, a collection of remixes of "New Zealand's premier ambient electronic experimental pop duo" the Tom Bosley Experience. The album features the destructive DnB noise of Sick Cycle, Romantechs trademark intelligent DnB, the electro-punk stylings of rising star SoNic Smith, kitchen-sink downbeat from Sharkweek, lush electronica from Stray Theories, the glitchy melancholia of Hummel, and the glacial dub experiments of Australia's Thalidomide Dog. You can hear tracks from the album on the TBE page:
http://www.myspace.com/thetombosleyexperience
and the Electrode Records page:
http://www.myspace.com/electroderecords
and you can order your copy directly from the Electrode Records website:
