OLIVER NICKELS - Vancouver
DJ Name - OLIVER NICKELS
Email: olivernickels@hotmail.com Contact # Cell in Japan : 090 1765 2653 Genre Of Music: Electro/Tech House, Electro, Funky Futuristic Extra Crispy beats! Affiliations: Delecto Recordings, Mena Music, Live-to-Tape Recordings, Housebroken Records, SilverWaters Productions How long have you spinning the decks for? I've been spinning since 2001 and making electronic beats since 2000. What originally hooked you into the DJing scene? The absolutely wild and fresh music and sounds that I was hearing coming from the speakers of a party! I've been a musician all my life playing various instruments and I just naturally wanted to understand how mixing worked...it looked like hella fun! Style of Music? It depends what im playing for. My time as a resident dj allowed me to experiment with all styles, whatever was going to keep the crowd happy and dancing! When im playing one-off gigs where the focus is more on what each individual style a dj can bring to the show, Im all about the synthy Electro-House! Most expensive vinyl that you have paid for? - Probably over 80$ for some ridiculous speed garage record that I never even look at anymore ;) What is your most treasured record and why? Its a white label Laidback Luke remix, just unreal filthy, synthy, melodic, SIZZLING electric funk!! Im not sure if its all that rare, but i would never want to be without it! :D What events have you played at? Too many to mention, but my most memorable have been New Years 2004 at Club Cinderella in China, and headlining a club in Zhengzhou, China for 2 nights, both in front of 2000+ !! A sea of chinese people, all going off to electro. Love it. What National / International clubnights have you played or held residencies at? Rotational resident at Tokyo Lounge in Vancouver (Sat nights), 6-nights a week resident at Club Cinderella in Jinan, China (Jan 04-Mar 04), Weekly resident at Kai Club and Vick's Nightclub in Beijing (Mar 2004-July 2004). Have you got any DJing horror stories? Nothing too terrible, power outages during great sets really muck up the flow though! ;) Any other information? I am starting to get my original tracks released and I usually play alot of my own tunes out during my sets, the best feeling for me now is getting to play my own stuff on a beautiful sound system and having people react to it! :D Last edited by oliver; Sep 01, 06 at 03:28 PM. |
