Here's my basic bio, I'm not trying to be like some lame athlete by speaking in the third person about myself I just didn't feel like changing it all around....
Nick Nice has been dj'ing for over 15 years. An avid music collector since childhood he began his dj career in earnest in order to share his passion with the public. He was one of the founders of the midwest rave scene, organizing some of the first events in the United States back in 1991. While living in France for several years he was a resident dj at the infamous Queen club, located on the Champs-Elysées in Paris. He has also performed extensively throughout France and continental Europe. In addition Nick was one of the first international dj's to play in Moscow, Russia in 1993.
He's been back in the U.S. for a while now and ran a successful record store, Nice Musique, for several years. He moved home in order to be closer to his family and his 'day job' consists of babysitting his 2 nieces. While based in Madison, he performs there regularly and has been voted best dj in the city by various local media outlets for many years in a row. He also plays often throughout the midwest with shows at the world-renowned Smart Bar & Moonshine in Chicago, Mantra Lounge in Milwaukee (to name but a couple of places) and regularly returns to France, continuing to spread his love of music wherever he is. He has performed with many amazing artists such as; Richie Hawtin, Green Velvet, Peter Hook (New Order), John Acquaviva, Laurent Garnier, Jazzanova, Dixon, Alex Attias, DJ Funk, BT, Deep Dish, Dirty Vegas, Hot Chip, Faze Action, Idjut Boys, Pure Science, Roy Davis, Jr., Boo Williams, Paul Johnson, Right Said Fred, David Guetta, Woody Mcbride, Kaskade & many more...
Nick also produces music with his friend Brad Owen under the alias of The Regionalists. Their first release, Live Nude Rhodes, has sold over 2000 copies on vinyl. They have also done several remixes, most notably one for Amnesty International's 40th Anniversary in collaboration with the Buddha Bar mix CD series. Nick's musical style is not limited to any one genre in particular; preferring to play for the vibe of the club, the crowd and his mood in general.
One thing is for sure; Nick's love of music, life and bringing different groups of people together always comes across no matter what the setting. Nick Nice will always make you dance or get your head nodding and guarantees you will have a good time when he is performing.
Saw you called. I'll see you tonight. Cant' wait to see you and hear all about your trip. I went to Maduro's while you were gone. It was so fun having a headlining dj there for once. Not that I don't have fun just hanging out and drinking when you're there.
S.O.S!! I've been high-jacked by this crazy bohemian couple...they say they'll release me if I can get them into Mike Carlson's gigs. I told them they'd have to whack me first. I'm in a holding cell now with no food or water. They're theatening to sick their tiger's on me. Death first I say!!!
