Hi! I'm Cavey Nik and I'm a London-based Deathrock/Goth/Gothabilly/Post Punk/Horror Punk DJ and gig [100% independant] promoter, and I run "Dead and Buried", which is the UK's "first and premier" contemporary Deathrock night (now in its 5th year)! Based in London the capital of the UK [the biggest and best city!] We attract a considerable crowd of regulars ["DaBers"] and draw many folks from Europe and the USA and further afield each month!
I've been into music since the age of 13, and I'm still in awe of the fact that sometimes even now I'm bowled over by good tunes!
I play music to *dance to* and discourage *sitting down* at my events..This aint no "social club"; it's a PARTY!
I'm always looking for cool and interesting new [and old and forgotten] music! Reccomendations welcome
The music we play at D&B is the *real* alternative to the "alternative", the *real* "underground" [as Post Punk/Goth/Punk Rock once was...]
By the way I DON'T LIKE 99.9% OF METAL MUSIC [so don't ask to be my friend if you're a METAL band, ok?!]
I also DJ at various other places in London regularly...including The (infamous) Devonshire Arms (Camden Goth pub) where I hold my monthly GLITTERY DUST, 80's nights. Also at other events in the capitol....
I like to guest at other clubs, whenever I can and have DJ'd at such prestigious events such as: Drop Dead Festival (NYC and Prague) Pagan Love Songs (Germany) Gothic Pogo Party (Germany) [numerous times] WGT (Germany) Onderstroom (Holland) Whitby Gothic Weekend (UK) Bats Over Milan and Rome (Italy) Cornucopia (Belfast) Slimelight (UK) Under Cover of Darkness (Germany) Thule Club (Berlin) Le Klub (Paris) Undead (Barcelona) The Graveyard Sessions (Portugal)
and *many* club night/gig events all across the whole of the UK, such as: Black Machine Church of Madness Dark Trix Kryptorium Pitch Black The Wake Misery of Sound Kryptorium Tarantulla....and others...
I also put on gigs in London from time to time (of cool deathrock-style bands mostly; always of bands that I like musically personally) and have put on such acts as Devilish Presley, Cinema Strange (UK debut and exclusive show) Leisur Hive, New Days Delay (UK exclusive and debut show), Ausgang and Katscan and many others....
