He regularly works with Franck Roger, Mr. V and Miss Patty and has previously collaborated with the likes of Osulande and Lem Springsteen (Mood II Swing).

In 2006, he was named ‘Best International Act’ at the Italian Festivalbar ceremony seeing off competition from the likes of Scissor Sisters, Lilly Allen and James Morrison in the process. His distinctive vocal talents his powerful stage performances help Nate to stand out as one of the premier contemporary soul artist throughout the world.

Dan Liquid and Dan Nu:Tone (AKA: Danism) continue their prolific output for MN2S with a main room bomb featuring a hypnotic and hooky vocal from Haze. Following on from ‘Truth Is’ and the ‘Astarte EP’ – both acclaimed Danism releases in 2007 – the boys are back with another belter called ‘Mesmerise’. ‘Mesmerise’ is aimed squarely at the peak-time and has been picking up fantastic pre-release support and reaction.

Continuing the rich vein of form that has seen a series of commended releases such as ‘One Life’, ‘Astarte EP’ and ‘Truth Is’ drop on MN2S, Danism have nailed another essential release. ‘Mesmerise’ features a rolling electronic groove, old-school synths and tight, punchy production that all emphasis Haze’s killer vocal hook. Underpinned with a slightly classic vibe, ‘Mesmerise’ initially comes in the form of an Original Mix and a straight up Dub Mix as well as a superb Conan Dub mix to make the package extra special.

‘Mesmerise’ is Danism’s first collaboration with Malaysian vocalist Haze. Best known for his collaborations with Sandy Rivera under the KOT guise, Haze has recently released ‘Freak’ – his debut solo production on Blackwiz – which has been gaining strong support from the likes of Roger Sanchez and Pete Tong. With ‘Mesmerise’ also set for big things in the coming months seems the stars of Danism and Haze will be shining brightly into 2008!!

‘We’ve absolutely love this track,’ says Dan Liquid. ‘I can’t believe the reaction it is getting from the dance floor. Both the Dub and the Main Mix sound awesome!!’

In addition to ‘Mesmerise’ and their consistent output for MN2S, Danism currently have two new singles lined up for release on Defected and various other projects currently doing the business for Slip ‘N’ Slide, Tony Records, and MoreHouse.
