Since signing to Hospital in 2003 Nu:Tone has come through the ranks to become one of the most highly respected producers in the scene, with everyone from LTJ Bukem to Dillinja busting his tunes. Nu:Tone’s remix’s are always guaranteed to please – whether it’s the retro soul of his Spreadlove anthem or the junglist wobble of his Strictly Social Re-rub.
His debut album “BRAVE NU WORLD” dropped in 2005 with all of the Drum & Bass' hierarchy supporting it. DJs Norman Jay M.B.E and Tom Middleton also made Nu:Tone a favorite of their eclectic sets. Off the back of this success Nu:Tone has taken his DJing all over the world spreading hospital love from the USA to Asia to Australia. Somehow he has also found the time to remix Alice Russell, Quantic and produce a track for Jenna G.
On June 18th 2007 his LP "BACK OF BEYOND" was released.

Nu:Tone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just your presence gets me so confused
It must be that you′ve done more than you think to me
Yet I have to act like I'm okay, I′m not okay
It goes much deeper than
Your day-to-day crush from back in the school days
It goes much deeper than
More than that, 'cause you're in my system
There′s nothing I can do
There′s nothing I can say (yeah yeah yeah)
You're in my system, baby
Deep in my system
You got me going crazy (going crazy)
Inside my system (oh yeah)
You′re in my system, baby
Deep in my system
You got my soul and body (body)
You're in my system
I can hardly talk sometimes
When we sit face-to-face
There are times when I don′t need to say a word
'Cause I know you know
There are times when you just over-analyze me
But you know I don′t really care
'Cause I really care, yeah
You're in my system, baby
Deep in my system (ooh)
You got me going crazy (going crazy)
Inside my system (ooh, oh)
You′re in my system, baby
Deep in my system (yeah yeah)
You got my soul and body
You′re in my system
From my hair to my skin
To my arms, all the limbs
They can sense it
From my heart through my chest
And my lungs down my waist
I can feel it
From my spine to my hips
And my knees to my toes
They've been shakin′
But my mind and my brain
How they drive me insane
'Cause you′re right here takin' over my system
You′re in my system, baby
Deep in my system
You got me going crazy
Inside my system (oh-oh oh)
You're in my system, baby
Deep in my system (oh)
You got my soul and body
You're in my system (oh-oh oh)
(Oh-oh oh)
(Oh-oh oh)
(Oh-oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh)
(Oh-oh oh)
You′re in my system, baby
(You′re my system)
You got me going crazy
(Deep in my system)
You're in my system, baby
(Oh, don′t you know?)
You got my soul and body
You're in my system
You′re in my system, baby
Deep in my system (my system)
You got me going crazy (it gets me goin' crazy)
Inside my system
You′re in my system, baby (you're in my)
Deep in my system
You got my soul and body
You're in my system
Don′t you know, don′t you know?
Don't you know, don′t you know?
Don't know, don′t know
The lyrics of Nu:Tone's song "System" talk about being deeply attracted to someone and feeling like they're a part of you. The singer emphasizes that this feeling is not just a casual crush, but something much stronger that they can't control. They express how being near or even thinking about this person makes them feel confused and overwhelmed. The singer admits that they have to pretend like everything is okay, even though they are not. The chorus emphasizes how this attraction is not just a passing feeling, but has penetrated their entire being, from their mind to their soul and body. They can't do anything to stop it, and can't find words to express themselves sometimes. The song ends with the singer almost pleading with the person, asking them to understand that they are in their system and have taken over their mind and body.
Overall, "System" is a song about being completely consumed by attraction and desire for someone. The lyrics convey a sense of helplessness and longing, as well as the intense physical and emotional effects that being in love or infatuated can have on a person. The style of the song, with its catchy beat and infectious melody, perfectly captures the sense of being swept away by a feeling that can't be contained.

I can hardly breathe at the thought of you
Just the thought of you makes it hard for me to breathe
Just your presence gets me so confused
Being with you makes me feel uncertain and disoriented
It must be that you've done more than you think to me
You have a bigger impact on me than you may realize
Yet I have to act like I'm okay, I'm not okay
Even though I'm not okay, I have to pretend that I am
It goes much deeper than your day-to-day crush from back in the school days
My feelings for you are more profound than a typical school crush
It goes much deeper than those songs that I hear with a sentiment
My feelings for you are more profound than just relating to a song's lyrics
More than that, 'cause you're in my system
My feelings for you are ingrained deep within me
There's nothing I can do
I am powerless to stop my feelings
There's nothing I can say (yeah yeah yeah)
There are no words I can say to change what I feel
You're in my system, baby
You have become a permanent part of me
Deep in my system
Your impact on me is profound and pervasive
You got me going crazy (going crazy)
You are driving me insane with emotion
Inside my system (oh yeah)
Your effect on me is internal and intense
From my hair to my skin
You affect my entire being
To my arms, all the limbs
My physical body is impacted by you
They can sense it
My body can feel your impact
From my heart through my chest
My emotions are affected by you
And my lungs down my waist
My physical sensations are impacted by you
I can feel it
I am acutely aware of your effect on me
From my spine to my hips
Your impact on me is felt throughout my body
And my knees to my toes
Even my extremities are affected by you
They've been shakin'
You make me feel nervous and unsettled
But my mind and my brain
My thoughts and emotions are impacted by you
How they drive me insane
You make me feel crazy with emotions
'Cause you're right here takin' over my system
You are in control of my emotions and my body
Don't you know, don't you know?
Do you not realize what you do to me?
