Credited by DJMag as one of the producers at the forefront of the Newcastle scene – Nectax has been building his back catalogue for some years now, establishing himself within the Drum & Bass circuit with releases spanning the likes of Hospital, Ram & Guidance to name a few.
Raised on the sounds of Bukem, DJ Shadow & Bonobo, these influences have proved to be formative in Nectax’s varied approach to up-tempo club music, with his tracks touching on everything from amens to arpeggios – evident in his recent EP on the late Ulterior Motive’s imprint Guidance Music.
2020 saw Nectax release a collaborative single with Bladerunner entitled ‘The Fall’ which received scene-wide support, being premiered by Annie Mac on BBC Radio 1. It wasn’t long until more labels were interested, being picked up by Hospital Records for the lead track on Future Symptoms Volume 3 last year.
These days Ollie Underhill AKA Nectax can be found residing in the 160 – 170 BPM realm, having fun with the sounds of Jungle both old & new.
