Nimbus is the electronic home of three curious men from the South of England; Oli Beale, Jon Shanks and Pete Bannister. Before they met under the name Nimbus, Oli and Pete had previously released material on their own imprint, “Frozen Recordings” and Jon had released on UK label “Subrossa Records”. From now on the three worked meticulously at their studio “The Lodge” on their unique style – complex music with a ludicrous attention to detail. Pete is a human encyclopaedia and eats synthesiser manuals for breakfast. Jon has a rather unhealthy obsession with hi hats and is responsible for most of the percussion arrangement whilst Oli usually handles laying out the main melodies and bass but is also known for his mild infatuation with the snare.

Jon, Oli and Pete are simply bored with most house music in the shops today and take most of their inspiration from the deeper techno sounds. They believe that tech house should, as its name suggests, be a blend of techno and house and not dull, tribal nonsense which is sadly what the genre seems to have become. It is easy to spot influences in their music from label such as Treibstoff or Substatic and from artists such as Maetrik, John Tejada, Swag, Swayzak and Vince Watson. After only a year and a half in the studio together the trio have produced a collection of quality tech house that stands out amongst the ocean of average vinyl that fills English record stores.
