LEMON is the alter-ego of Producer, DJ, Multi-Instrumentalist, Record Label boss and all round music mogul NICK HOLLYWOOD
He was one half of the team responsible for the seminal and hugely successful London night CLUB MONTEPULCIANO. Described by Time Out as one of the "things you have to do before you can call yourself a real Londoner", the club ran for over 11 years. They pioneered the UK Lounge, Cabaret and emerging Burlesque scenes, setting up the label, CLUB MONTEPULCIANO RECORDINGS, through which they released a series of highly influential compilations, LEMON's debut album, a string of sold-out 7" singles and EPs, and the work of various other Lounge acts.
Tracks from LEMON have since been licensed to numerous compilations worldwide and can be heard in adverts across Europe and the States for companies including Coca Cola, Walmart, Walls, Johnsons and Alpha Bank. LEMON songs also appear on the soundtracks and trailers to many Hollywood movies and frequently crop up on TV.
In 2005 the new label FRESHLY SQUEEZED MUSIC launched with LEMON's second album "With a Twist" (ZESTCD001)
Although concentrating primarily on the label, recent LEMON DJ sets have included shows in Greece, Poland, Russia, Spain and the UK at festivals including Glasonbury, Lost Vagueness, The Brighton Festival (Speigal Tent) Wroclaw Non-Stop Festival and Bestival.
