Nick Warren makes his first visit to Waterford next Sat (19 Aug) since he played a brilliant set at South in Tramore back in Summer 2002. He???s still one of the World???s most in demand DJs and is able to play all over the Globe due to the amazing success of the 6 compilations he has mixed and recorded live for the Global Underground label. His set at TEN next week is his exclusive Irish date for 2006. Tickets are on sale now at BPM Records, Sinnotts, 0818-719300, www.ticketmaster.ie and at TEN on the night.
You can tell when Nick Warren is on the decks. The music emanating from the booth is that perfect club mix of driving percussion and soaring musicality, bursting out of the speakers, soaking everyone in melody, drenching them in sound. On the floor, where it really matters, his crowd experience all the peaks that make his music so unique. Locking on early, you'll hear his deeper take on house which morphs, as the club mood changes, into harder territory, music for sweating and losing yourself to. And at that point when the light are low, when smoke fills the room and people are dancing on instinct, that's when the melodies start to rise over the top, washing the worries and exertions of life away, completing the ultimate club experience. That's why Nick Warren is so respected, because he knows how to truly work a club, to take a crowd high, then higher again. That's what comes with vision and, just as importantly, experience.
Nick, a music obsessive from Bristol who grew up on punk, reggae and pop was, like so many DJs turned onto the power of house music in the late 80s. In 1990, a new house club, Vision took the city by storm and in a perfect bit of timing, he was offered the chance to play in the upstairs room. Catching the attention of a group of guys who had their own band, he was roped in to tour with them as their DJ when they went to play America. The group was Massive Attack.
Nick then hooked up with another Bristol producer, Jody Wisternoff in 1994 to form Way Out West and they recorded the seminal 'Ajare' single together, a huge progressive house club hit. Three years later, and with the duo now signed to Deconstruction, it was re-released, this time breaking into the charts and finally, the nation's consciousness. Then came 'The Gift'. With a memorable hook line culled from an old hardcore track, its mix of ambient soundscapes and breaks won it universal plaudits, sending Nick and Jody onto Top Of The Pops and catapulting Nick into the league of the superstar DJ.
Nick has concentrated on his DJing over the last few years and he is in huge demand everywhere from Europe to Asia and North and South America. The Global Underground series of mix CDs have sold more than any other label over the last decade and Nick has been asked to mix an incredible six volumes of the series including sets recorded live in Amsterdam, Prague and Shanghai (China). Expect a huge crowd at TEN next Saturday for a true DJ legend
