Danny Bonnici
Country: Australia


THE OUTLINE: With a musical career spanning 15 years, one of the most original talents in dance music today is Danny Bonnici. Over the past 6 years, Danny has been at the forefront of the Australian scene as frontman of one of the country's biggest dance acts, Nubreed. He's pleased crowds the world over with his raw stage presence and energetic live shows.
DJ-ING: They've played some of the biggest events here in Australia including the Boiler Room of the Big Day Out, they co-headlined the mainstage at this year's Two Tribes event at Rod Laver Arena with Dave Seaman, Junkie XL & Layo & Bushwacka, they played mainstage at the Falls Festival last year, they warmed up for Sasha at the Adventjah festival in Brisbane, they played Sydney & Melbourne on the Gatecrasher tour, Vibes On A Summers Day with Jamiroquai, they were asked to support Groove Armada on their last national tour (but had to turn it down due to their album writing commitments). Premier breaks label Mob Records run by DJ Tayo (and the original home of the Stanton Warriors) signed NuBreed up to record their debut album entitled 'The Original' which will see a release in the UK in October and in Australia early in 2004. NuBreed have remixed everyone from Tiesto & Junkie XL, to Way Out West, Skunk Anansie, Scritti Politti and Groove Terminator. They were Top 5 on the national ARIA (Australian Record Industry Association) Club Chart with their remix of BMG artist Hamish, and the track they remixed for Tiesto & Junkie XL hit the Top 60 singles chart in the UK. Their tracks and remixes are in demand across the world with placements on albums from Global Underground to Ministry of Sound.
MUSIC PRODUCTION & LABELS: As part of Nubreed hes worked on an album and over a dozen singles, as well as remixes for the likes of Junkie XL, Tiesto, Crystal Method, Scritti Politti, and Way Out West, to name a few. Now, in 2006 he is pushing the envelope further with a new solo show. Using Ableton Live, Danny is causing a commotion with his own style of dirty 4/4, electro, and breaks. NuBreed are Australia's premier live electronic act. In Australia they were nominated for 3 DMA's (Dance Music Awards) last year for Best Debut Artist, Best Live Act and Best New Release, and nominated for Best Live Act again at this year's awards. In the UK this year they were nominated for Best New Artist at the BREAKSPOLL awards (www.breakspoll.com) and came 2nd in that category, and one of their live shows recorded in Hobart was broadcast in it's entirety (well over an hour) on Radio One (www.bbc.co.uk/radio1) by Annie Nightingale.
