THE FUTURE:
Nick has been a major force within the UK hard trance scene for the past decade and now at just 27 years of age still has a lot to look forward to.
His recent studio productions & remixes have been making waves across Europe with heavyweight labels such as Drizzly, Joyride, Dataless, Future Sound Corporation & Nutty Trance all releasing his material which in turn has gone on to achieve amazing club support, press reviews (IDJ, Mixmag, Dj Mag), radio plays (Radio 1, Galaxy, FluxBPM - Greece, Kiss FM) & Compilation success worldwide.
Dj's as diverse as Mark EG, Dj Dean, Andrea Montorsi, Kevin Energy, Dave Pearce, ED Real, Kutski, Matt Darey, Dave Joy, K90, Bas & Ram, Yoshi & Danny Slade have all been championing his releases.
Mark EG – Skysurfer – Colors 2008 (Nick The Kid Remix)
'One of the best UK remixes of a hard trance classic ever!' this mix is perfect for when I build my sets from hard trance to hardstyle. I will play the shit out of this release'
More recently Nick has just been asked by Jon Doe to officially remix the hard dance anthem D6 and K90 has requested a remix for his eagerly awaited Urban Anthems-Remixed album which is in the pipeline. There are also collaborations on the horizon with the likes of Jon The Baptist and long standing studio partner Louk as well as further releases on his own label Hindsight records which is now available on both vinyl & digital formats. Nick has also just signed a publishing deal with All-Media music.
K90 (Dataless): Future Shock – Nick The Kid Remix
'A totally wicked remix, I usually get remixers/artists to make adjustments before I release but this is bang on the money '
Dave joy (Joyride): Double Penetrator – Nick The Kid Remix
'slamming remix from nick. will defo be supported. that's where hard trance should come back to. straight in the face with driving beats and catchy melody!! 10/10 '
Over the years Nick's has built up a solid reputation with his trademark 'uplifting' European hard trance sets and as a result gained many bookings across the UK at leading Clubs & events such as Slammin Vinyl, Atmosphere, Ripsnorter, Bionic, Breathe, Afterdark, HTID/Frantic, North,Tranzaction, Hindsight & Many more! His diary for 2009 is filling up steadily with bookings already at the 2009 Hard Dance Awards, Frantic - London, Magnetix - London, DHF - London, Resonate - Bournemouth, Tranzaction - Cornwall, Uprising Sheffield and Elevation - Wales amonst lots of others. He also has international gigs tbc for Germany, Lebanon & Ibiza later this year.
With Hindsight fast approaching it's 10th birthday & a schedule packed full of non stop promoting, producing, dj'ing and not to mention partying. These are exciting times for the South West hard trance dynamo and 2009 looks set to be his biggest year of all.
THE PAST:
After buying a set of deck's and learning to mix at the tender age of 13 nick began his dj'ing career whilst still at school. In '95 High Risk (a Southwest under 18's hardcore event) gave him his first residency at 15 and since then he hasn't looked back. At this same time a very enthusiastic but young-looking nick acquired some fake ID which gave him a licence to party long before his 18th.....
After regularly attending club's & Events such as Pawlett Manor at Bridgewater, Kingstons at Taunton, Kingsley leisure Centre at Westward Ho The BudClub at The Tube, Fusion at Bath Pavillion and the almighty Dreamscape at Shepton Mallet Nick became totally hooked on the music and the party lifestyle that went with it whilst at the same time being broadly influenced by the likes of dj's such as Carl Cox, Sasha,The Prodigy, Paul Oakenfold, Billy nasty, Trevor Rockcliffe, Pete Wardman, Dj Sy, Ratpack, Tony De Vit, Nick Warren & too many others to mention. In '97 Nick quit college to concentrate on his music full time and began promoting his first event in a small club called The Tube in Tiverton.( after going there most Friday's for one and a half years and hassling the owner Robin). Plastic Fantastic ran for about two years with guests such as Slipmatt, Sy, Dougal, Mike Cosford, Hixxy, Paul Booker and of course Nick himself. The opening night was jam-packed with 300 people in the normally 200 cap building with Nick playing his heart out to a very sweaty home crowd alongside Dj Sy. After proving his ability to rock a crowd Nick was soon getting asked to play at other leading Southwest Clubs like Pawlett Manor, Koolwaters, Club Loco-Bristol, Kingsley leisure Centre etc In '99 nick dropped Plastic fantastic to concentrate on a larger venture, a monthly hard dance night in Exeter aptly named Hindsight at St Georges Hall. Although being heavily into oldskool hardcore Nick also had a huge passion for quality trance music filling his collection with tunes on Bonzai, Platipus, EDM, Go for it , Spaceflower, Harem, Eve etc and nick wanted to incorporate this particular style of sound into Hindsight.
The next 9 years saw the who's who of UK Trance/Techno dj's pass through on the turntables with the likes of Mark eg, M-zone, Vortex, Sharkey, Cally & Juice, Clarkee, Producer aka Luke Mcmillan, Scorpio, Ben Eye, K90, Kevin Energy, Jon Doe, BK, Ed Real, Chris Liberator, Dave The Drummer, The Geezer, Jay Walker, Ribbz, Alex Calver, Nu Energy Collective, Lisa Pin-up, Racheal Auburn, Ribbz, Jon The Baptist, Kutski, Organ Donors many more and of course Nick The Kid. Nick has taken Hindsight on the road with tour nights in Newquay, Plymouth, Seaton, Bristol, Cardiff, Swansea, Hereford, Rhyl, Manchester, Taunton & Torquay and in between appearing on over 40 tape pack compilations, Co-promoting various other events / brands and playing out almost every weekend, he has also managed to set up his own hard trance imprint Hindsight Records.
