Nick T
Nick T has on more than one occasion been called a “proper cross-genre DJ” – though he regards it more as just playing great music in an order that works well and makes people happy. He has been DJ-ing since the age of 13 and started being paid to do it the day after his 15th birthday. He considers himself extremely fortunate that he has been involved with music throughout his whole adult life. This has ranged from DJ-ing live to handling music PR & promotions; from playing bars to running large events; as well as the occasional hit record along the way!
He is as much at home playing a chilled sub 120 bpm outdoor beach set, as he is creating a smooth background vibe at a cocktail bar, or on a banging stage at a major festival. Nick’s music tastes are as widespread as his experience. He is constantly looking for new music from an eclectic range of styles, being excited as much by a new Lila Downs or Music For Dreams album, as he is by the latest release from Hotmood or Louie Vega. He’s well renowned on the local music scene for being able to read a crowd and take the music in the right direction as the dynamic changes – which might explain why he’s also known for never playing the same set twice.
DJ Nick T has held a residency in one of Brighton’s most fashionable upscale hotels Merkaba for over 8 years, playing everything from downtempo broken beats to upfront soulful and deep house with a sprinkling of disco chic – sometimes all on the same night! He’s played numerous Summer beach sets (both during the daytime and at sunset) at some of Brighton’s better known seafront venues, such as The Tempest Inn and Ohso Social, with even more to follow this Summer. He recently performed a 10 hour non-stop set for “March Of The Mermaids” as one half of his collaboration Sophisticated Mischief at the famous Brighton Spiegeltent for Brighton Fringe. He also holds down the Monday Morning show on Codesouth where, over the three hour broadcast, he regularly takes the audience on a musical love train from sub 100 bpm soul up to 125 bpm house.
