The last 18 months have seen a busy period for Nigel in the studio with Production partner Johnny Pinkfinger... the fruits of this labour can been seen doing the business on dance-floors worlds wide ...and can be tracked down on their label FTC-Recordings! 2013 ...looks set to be a fun year as Nigel embarks on a series of parties with mighty Type brand, the first of which is in February and takes place at the fabulous Westbourne Studios in west London!! 2010 also a big year in the studio for Nigel alongside production partner Johnny Pinkfinger (aka Simon Langford). First up this year was a track called “Bad Man” a rework on the 1994 classic dance track from Dee Pattern. This was signed by “Sounds Like Records” out of LA and is currently doing well in the Beatport charts with support from some of the world’s biggest acts such as “Above and Beyond’, Sandra Collins, and Marcus Shultz. Next track up is “T3” and this out on Beatport July 13th on FTC Recordings, this is due to be followed up with a track called “Reloaded” which is due out on FTC-Recordings in late August and already receiving big airplay from the likes of “Groove Armada”, “John Carter” & ‘Paul Oakenfold”, the duo’s are most excited about their recent remix of the forth coming Chicane & Owl City track “Middle Distance Runner” which is the first release from the new Chicane album “Giants” Other production success over the years have been; remixes of "Playing with Knives" under the "Pureal" moniker, and also "Get Loud" released on Tall Paul's Label - Intensive Music, in partnership with Julian Napolitano (JDS) Nigel has been a Vancouver resident since 2009 and is enjoying the city’s West Coast vibe. Being on the other side of the pond has injected a new energy in to his performances which he’s been able to showcase at several gigs for the mighty STEREOTYPE as well as the city’s legendary after hours Gorg -0-Mish! 2008 saw a foray into the remixing of commercial pop music for Nigel as a collaboration with Johnny Pinkfinger resulting in Sony BMG signing the duo's remix of the Cyndi Lauper’s track "into the night life" Between 2006 and 2008 Nigel kept busy and on the forefront of the club scene as co promoter and resident DJ at MiMo@ Mango in Reading, England. MiMo has quickly risen to be THE club night in Reading as it plays to a packed, up for it, fun crowd, and has hosted such dance music luminaries as Seb Fontaine, Paul Harris (DIRTY VEGAS), Nick Warren, Damian Wilson, and Katz, to name a few. In 2007 "The Gritt" was released on Seb Fontaines MONOTYPE label in Jan 2007 featuring mixes from Disciples of Sound , TYPE resident Wesley S and Seb Fontaine. In 2006 Nigel signed for Seb Fontaine at TYPE @ the Cross to play a new regular monthly residency slot alongside Richard Dinsdale and “CR2’S Damian Wilson. This continued for 2 years until, sadly the Cross closed to make way for the redevelopment of that area of London, sadly bringing to an end one of London best attended and best loved house nights. 2006 continued to be a good year for the production side of things with Nigel releasing the track "Awake or Dreaming" under the alias ASTRO. It became number one in the charts of such dance music luminaries as Deep Dish and Way out West, and sat at number 1 on Nokturnel.com "Don't Mean Shit" which was released June 2005 to be a monster on Free2Air Recordings (www.free2airrecordings.com), this track has been hammered by the like of Fat Boy Slim and the USA's DJ Dan, as well as breaks guru Rennie Pilgrim. One of the biggest success's for Nigel came in 2004 with the massive Breaks hit made in collaboration with JDS once again, JDS vs MIHELL "Purple Funky Monkey" was released earlier this year on Rennie Pilgrims TCR label and was hailed across the Breaks Community as the biggest tune to come out of the TCR camp so far... The Plump dj's called it the "biggest record ever on TCR" a Meat Katie called it "Simply Massive" the plaudits for this tune were not only limited to the Breaks world with Dj's such as Judge Jules giving the tune big airtime on Radio 1, Hernan Catteneo and Timo Mass hammering it across the world and James Zabiela calling it "Stupidly Massive!". It was nominated as Breaks Tune of 2005 at the Breaks Poll awards and finished second to non other than the Plump DJ's. Nigel again hooked up with Julian and Simon to create a slightly funkier track that is being hailed as a potential summer smash. Under the Soul Seekerz moniker the trio have come with "Turn Me Upside Down" constant Radio One play from Judge Jules and support from house guru's like Graeme Park. It then morphed to become the music for the commercial dance queen Dannii Minogue on her 2005 track "Perfection" which reached number 8 in the UK charts! In 2003 Nigel helped to start, along with Midland's promoter guru John Harding, Northampton's SESSIONS. He was the 2003 - 2005 resident along side Alan "LuvDup" Stevens and during his time as resident Nigel played along side the like of Seb Fontaine, Audio Bullies, The Stanton Warriors and Way out West, as well as the USA's Scott Stubbs. In Canada and the USA Nigel has played on the Slinky Tour In Vancouver on many occasions with John Kelly, Dave Lee, and alongside Agnelli & Nelson on the Canadian leg of the Mix-Mag Tour and also in Vancouver Nigel played at the first Trans Atlantic sortie for Seb Fontaine's TYPE night and has played at some of western Canada's best promoters such as the "Sweet" nights, "Passion" @ the Rowing Club.̸'Purple Funky Monkey" (Collab with JDS) -released on TCR 'The Gritt" - released on Monotype 'Dont Mean Shit" - released on Free To Air 'Jacks Back" - released on FTC- Recordings "Reloaded" - released on FTC- Recordings Luv 2 Luv - - released on FTC- Recordings Bad Man - released on Sounds Like Funkin Pervert - - released on FTC- Recordings "Inivisible" Skylar Grey - Remix released on Interscope "Middledistance Runner" - Chicane ...
