Originally from Adelaide, Australia, Nelson Dialect now lives between Aus & New York working with Bronx label Red Apples 45. He has received critical acclaim for his work with producer Must Volkoff and their recent album ‘Magnetism’ which was played on Eminem’s radio station Shade45 by DJ Premier and DJ Eclipse respectively. In 2019 Nelson toured Europe, performing in France, Switzerland, UK and Germany. This is where he worked with producer NuTone, songwriting for his band Supa Dupa. During their time together they created the album ‘Opal Mind’ over a number of months between studios in Paris, Lyon and the French Alps. The soundscape created by Nu Tone draws on his Jazz drumming background, blending soul and funk over hard hitting Hip Hop production. Their sound is inspired by Slum Village and contemporary Jazz musicians like Terrace Martin. ‘Opal Mind’ features guest appearances by UK rapper Verbz (High Focus) S.I.TH (NYC) & French vocalists Ayelya & Célia Tiab.
