With the mix 3 months in the making, nubreed 7 promises to establish new standards for dance compilations and looks set to launch another career into the stratosphere...

As a fan, to hear that nubreed was to return was very exciting, but to be asked to re-launch the series after 7 years, that was something else, something monumental. Ive been working with GU for the last 4 years and knew that they had faith in me, but I never expected to get the call. To get this kind of opportunity - and from such a well-respected label well, it kind of blew me away... The previous releases were of such a high standard that I knew I had to deliver. Hopefully, people will enjoy it. - Jim Rivers, Jan 2009

nubreed 7 will be released on 30 March 2009 accompanied by a Global World Tour.
