Be sure to stop by their myspace page to listen to other great tracks from their previous release.

Bio from Facebook page:

The Nursery of Naughtiness (N.o.N) began their sonic assault on the world when they clinched a record deal with Exceptional Records in 2006 after breakbeat supremo Rogue Element (signed under Exceptional records) heard an early demo on Radio

1. N.o.N’s purpose in mind was to create a new and exciting dance act to create dance music with a razor sharp edge. These guys fuse elements of tough breaks, electronica and ambient to create a diverse sound reminiscent of the likes of The Prodigy and Aphex Twin.

Nursery of Naughtiness continue to push their music to new boundaries. Expect big beats, live guitars, synths, chunky helpings of bass and the odd chilled out moment just for good measure. Heavy support from Steve Lamacq and Annie Nightingale on Radio 1 and singles of the week at both Beatport, 7Digital and iTunes. They have been remixed by the likes of Far Too Loud and Jon Kennedy.

N.o.N also gig as live 2 piece act with headlined shows in London, Manchester and Leeds under the belts and with many more shows to come. Expect bone crunching beats and bass mixed with live Mc’ing. It’s not to be missed!

This trake is taken from their 2003 release called, “Next Plateau”.

NIKE used “Balkan Hot Step” as the music for their television campaign for the “Nike SHOX.”

Here is the bio on N.O.H.A taken from their website:

After ,Noise Of Human Art‘ (1997), ,No Slack‘ (2001) and ,Next Plateau‘ (2003), Comes
“DIVE IN YOUR LIFE” N.O.H.A.’s 4th album – and culmination of 10 years of experience.

With their debut album N.O.H.A. already established themselves as pop-avantgarde of the
European music scene, especially in fusing classic songwriting and club sound. Previous
sold records have reached ( 1#, 4#, 10#, 19#) in the german club charts, including
countless club and festival gigs that show, how successful and flexible N.O.H.A. are at
working live and in the studio.

Freed from former obligations, these highly motivated musicians have created an album full of club compatible, atmospheric songs. No doubt about it, N.O.H.A. are setting course for the next level.

On “DIVE IN YOUR LIFE” , the band is developing its own vision: The noise of human art, a living breathing mixture of breakbeats, drum & bass, electric jazz, pop and 100% club
grooves. The conglomerate sounds in 2007 are even racier, more experimental and more
on the pulse of the times than ever before.

N.O.H.A. remain cosmopolitans. Minerva Diaz Perez – the new singer is from Gijon, Spain. Her expressive vocals with a erotic undercurrent, create incomparable depth and
atmosphere on the live performance. Minervas voice is the perfect contrast and
complement for New York rapper Chevy’s energetic, charismatic MC performance.
Prague born sax-player Philip Noha and native German Jochen Eickenberg on keys, are
the producers of the international collective and create the creative pool of this band. For
their live shows Tim Rashid (bass) and Tobias Belker (drums) join the line-up for a powerful live-band-experience.

When it comes to performance, N.O.H.A. stands out as a band that really knows how to
bring their complex sound on the stage, shifting and reshaping the border of club-scene
and live performance. N.O.H.A. have already proven in various gigs with the likes of,
Armand van Helden, Goldie, J. Majik, Malachi/Herbalizer or Andy Smith/Portishead that
they can match the dynamics of any DJ set with their live show… beat for beat.
