London based since the mid ‘90s, Nico De Ceglia is a visionary Italian music geek who makes full use of all things music. Whether it’s as a DJ, producer, journalist, A&R, club promoter or radio show host, there isn’t much that he hasn’t tried his hand at.

Over the years he has written for prestigious magazines from the UK, Italy and Japan. He currently writes for The Hospital's media focused website.

Nico also worked as A&R consultant for the celebrated FFRR/London before moving on with Pete Tong when he left the label. Scouting and pre-selecting for Pete's legendary show on BBC Radio 1 since 2001, his vital job is to keep him informed on the more alternative and underground sounds.

As well as being a regular fixture DJing on the London club scene, he has also played worldwide from Miami to Jakarta. Recent international sets have included Ibiza, Zurich, Stockholm and New York, as well as many regular slots at the legendary Plastic in Milan and hot new Room26 in Rome.

His monthly night CODEX was one of the most successful midweek parties to grace sorely missed superclub The End, and while no longer active, the CODEX project lives on in the form of one-off events.

Thanks to a musical background ranging from jazz to alternative rock, electronica, classical, avant-garde and obviously techno and house, Nico is one DJ who never fears to try new sounds without overlooking the tried and tested. Refusing the trap of trends and genres, this eclectic approach reflects also on his studio work. With fellow Italian Severino (of Horse Meat Disco fame) he has just launched a brand new project under the name Hyena Stomp. The two share inspirations that move from Kraftwerk to Prince, from the Detroit sound (both the seminal techno scene and the rock one) to cosmic and Afro via house… and more. Watch this space!
