NICK WARREN BIO:
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,
then gradually morph into harder territory; then, once Warren has the
throng fully in his grip, sweating and losing themselves in the
grooves, 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.
To this day, Warren remains at the forefront of club culture: he packs
clubs and arenas worldwide from London to Los Angeles to Taipei,
transfixing dancefloors with his distinctively forward blend of
credible progressive sounds, cutting-edge techno, atmospheric breaks
and any other crucial grooves Warren deems appropriate for his
turntable alchemy. 2008 also finds Warren reaching other milestones.
He’s releasing his eighth mix CD for the Global Underground series,
GU035: Lima; he’s also completing his fourth studio album with Way Out
West, Warren’s pioneering electronic/band collaboration with Jody
Wisternoff. Warren also recently became head of A&R for Hope
Recordings, keeping him immersed in the shifting tides of new
dance-music movements. “I’m doing same thing I did when I started—just
playing music I love,” he says. “It’s as inspiring as ever. In Lima, we
did the party for the Global mix on the grass in front of a stadium,
and the crowd was as enthusiastic and curious as any I’ve ever had. It
was one of the best parties I’ve ever done.”
What makes Warren’s vision continue to resonate is that he’s honed it
over the years. He was there for the dawn of today’s club culture, and
the original ethos of bringing integrity and a forward, future-looking
aesthetic to what he does never left him. Warren began spinning at free
parties in fields during acid house’s halcyon “Summer of Love” back in
’88: then, the revelry typically ended around lunchtime two days after
the rave began, and seminal electronic artists like Leftfield and
Orbital were making their mark with their first tracks. The culture was
so new, DJs weren’t considered the icons they are today; if you were
behind the decks, you were doing it for the music above all else, not
money or fame. Despite Warren’s continuing success, that original
motivation has never left him. “We never wanted to be ‘superstar DJs,’”
Warren says of himself and his peers that rose to fame out of the
dance-music revolution. “There was no such thing. I was just lucky to
be there at the beginning. In those days, we were focused on creating
and playing the next thing—music no one else had ever heard.”
Warren’s DJ sets always were set apart by their moody atmosphere—a key
element of music from his Bristol hometown. Warren ascribes that to the
influence of the city’s multicultural makeup, which found punters of
all races attending dub parties from the likes of Jah Shakti. “Seeing
him make so many sounds with just one turntable was incredible,” Warren
recalls. “It was all about moving hips, about reverb, about the space
between sounds. That epic silence in the right place became the sound
of Bristol.”
“The ‘control freak’ side that every DJ has still comes out
in me whenever I play music in a dark room,” he explains. “Whether it’s
600 people in a club or 10,000 at a festival, I love that I can take
the crowd anywhere. It’s amazing I’m still surprised every day. When I
stop searching for music, I’ll have to quit. But the moment, I’m as
excited as I’ve ever been.”
