Nomine, also known as Outrage, is a producer, DJ and label owner from Bedford, UK. His work spans jungle, drum and bass, dubstep and more experimental electronic music, connected by a long-standing interest in bass, rhythm and atmosphere.
From Bedford, UK, to the world
He began in Bedford in 1995 as DJ Rage, co-founding pirate radio station Shock FM with friends. By 16, he was travelling abroad to DJ. He also founded Jungle Lix, a mail-order DJ promo company that later became Connections and handled exclusive drum and bass releases. Appearances on Rinse FM and years of international touring followed. He adopted the name Outrage out of respect for MC Rage.
Outrage
As Outrage, he became an established part of the jungle and drum and bass scene, releasing music through Goldie’s Metalheadz and Digital’s Function Records. His work includes co-production and remixes with Adam F, the collaborative album Red Letter with Digital, and involvement in J-Tek, which explored the shared ground between jungle breakbeats and techno rhythms.
In 2024, Function Records released his debut solo Outrage album, Behind The Eyes. It brought together different strands of his drum and bass history and was selected among DJ Mag’s top albums of the year.
Nomine
The Nomine alias opened a different space in his production: dub, sparse percussion, deep sub bass and musical influences from beyond the club. Tempa, one of the defining labels in UK bass and underground electronic music, released five Nomine EPs and the 2015 album Inside Nomine. That period took Nomine around the world as a DJ and established the alias internationally.
Further releases followed on Sentry Records and Nomine Sound, the label he has run for nearly a decade. As the catalogue travelled, dancers increasingly began sending videos of their movement to the music.
Education & Bass
He founded Education & Bass in 2017. The music technology platform extended into alternative education, special schools and prison education, supporting people with a wide range of learning and access needs. Through the platform and his wider teaching, he taught and mentored thousands of learners around the world across many electronic music genres. He has since stepped back from that work to devote more time to his music and Dance To Nomine.
Dance To Nomine
Dance To Nomine builds on the relationship between Nomine’s music and movement. It gives dancers, musicians and artists from different cultures and disciplines space to interpret the music in their own way, and gives each contributor clear credit for their work.
The Dance To Nomine label launched in 2026 with The Rain, followed by Mirage and Filthy, both featuring Zeyneb. The new Nomine album Break The Rhythm follows on 27 November 2026. Live performances and international collaborations are also in development.
