I must say, I discovered NSB Radio about a week ago and it has already changed my life. It is a 24/7/365 radio station that has 2 hour radio shows of live DJ’s spinning Nu Skool Breaks among other things. So far it has inspired me to get my decks out of storage and hook up my studio (well, what is left of it). It also has inspired me to invest in some new equipment that will allow me to mix mp3s as well. I am going to be completely honest: The shows are hit or miss. Some of them are amazing while others are terrible. But overall, its a great place to check out when you need some good tunes. You can also catch me hanging out in their IRC chat under the alias Envium. Curious to know more about NSB radio? Check out the excerpt taken from their website below.

“Broadcasting since 2003, multi award winning NSB Radio is a pioneer in the online broadcasting world. We are the world’s largest breaks and breakbeat oriented radio station brought to you by Nuskoolbreaks.co.uk. NSB Radio was voted “Best Radio Station” at the 2008, 2009 and 2010 Breakspoll International Breakbeat Awards by our amazing community of listeners. Our highly talented, award winning DJs and radio shows are live 24/7 throwing down the phattest selection of breaks, breakbeat, big beat, glitch, nu skool breakz, funk, dubstep, soul and so much more.”

We used a James Bond theme because a lot of us were huge James Bond fans. Robert made magic happen with a budget (as usual) and I put a lot of time and money into a home made switch board to set off the ricochets during the shooting seen. I think both Adam, Doug, and I all suffered from our fair share of electric shocks that occurred during the whole process. Some of the sound seems a bit delayed in the YouTube videos (not sure why).
