Nigel Broad

As one of the original pioneers of the hardcore breakbeat/techno sound that was to eventually evolve into drum and bass, Nigel Broad, aka RELEASE, still creates pounding beats and relentless rhythms for today's discerning drum and bass connoisseur. Originally signed to the Contagious Records label in the UK during the early 1990's, RELEASE stood out along with other well-known artists of the time as pioneers in the rapidly evolving hardcore breakbeat/techno scene. Consisting of Nigel Broad and DJ Rush Puppie, the duo's first single, 'Dance In Eden', became a classic anthem. Born and raised in Upminster, Essex, Nigel lives in Los Angeles, USA since 1994 and has worked for Apple, Sony Pictures, and Universal Pictures.
