Bristol based Hope Recordings was established 11 years ago by Leon Alexander and Steve Satterthwaite.
Over 70 releases of quality dance music later and the search continues. If you would like to hear more Right here's the place
Now Hope has moved into a new era with Nick Warren taking over as head of A&R. Nick's successful DJ career spanning a decade and a half starting with Massive Attack via superclub Cream and every self respecting club on the planet has led him to this natural position. As a parallel to his usual punishing schedule the label allows him an outlet for everything he sources in his consistent hunt for quality music.
Nick's biography:
You can tell when Nick Warren's on the decks. The music emanating from the DJ booth is that perfect club mix of driving percussion and soaring musicality, bursting out of the speakers, soaking everyone in melody, drenching them in sound. On the floor, where it really matters, the crowd experiences all the peaks and troughs that make Warren’s sensibility so unique. He might start with his deeper take on house, gradually morph into harder territory; then, once Warren has the throng fully in his grip, sweating and losing themselves in the music, moving on instinct, he takes them to points unknown they never expected to go. That's why Nick Warren is so respected: he knows how to truly work a crowd, delivering again and again, yet taking them somewhere they’ve never been before. That's what comes with vision and, just as importantly in Warren’s case, experience.
Thank you for all your messages of support! I really appreciate them and try to answer as often as I can. Sometimes there's just no time, but if I've not answered it doesn't mean I haven't seen it.

An awe inspiring journey through modern progressive house.
Featuring 25 exclusive tracks from Way Out West, Analog People In A Digital World, Alex Dolby, Martin Brodin & Paul Rogers.
"Nick Warren's GU035 Lima is superb. Ridiculously so! From the very first track on CD1 until the last bar on CD2, I was hooked !" 9/10 - progressive-sounds.com
"Warren could be accused of not delving into more contemporary styles like his peers John Digweed and Danny Howells. But with every DJ and their dog turning to minimal and tech-house, it's reassuring to see a stalwart still seeking the best progressive records around—all tracks on the album are exclusive—rather than jumping on the bandwagon. While we may never see another mix like Reykjavik, progressive is far from dead. Lima is proof." - Resident Advisor
