U-Monks is a new and innovative Dutch breaks Trio.
JELTO VAN NIEUWBURG (1976) has been an active force in the music industry since 1995. He produced and composed for various bands and Dance projects and organized various events in Holland. In May 2000 he founded his own recording-studio in Enkhuizen. He also manages the breaks label Sugarbelly Records from which their records are released.
BASTIAAN BAKKER (1981) started out as a DJ and performed at many events and clubs, like the Mazzo in Amsterdam, and acted as support-act for the SL Troopers. He contributed to and organized several events like Free-beats and MixinSpace. He started producing Breaks together with Jelto in 2002 and so the formation U-monks was born.
THE BAND has been gathering momentum as they have grown and evolved with their music. Being based in Holland, there are loads of innovative acts so to rise above the rest; U-Monks have relied solely on their experience and talent to shape their market. They receive support from an ever-growing international fan base as well as established web radio stations and communities like for instance Nu skool breaks and triple award winning Breaks FM. U-Monks objective is to release good sounding music to the public through their parent label, Sugarbelly Records, and if these releases are anything to go by, that should be an inevitable event.
