Nick Warren with Zenbi and Borali

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. Warren's impressive career has seen him release the very first "Back to Mine", a staggering eight albums for "Global Underground", and one for "Renaissance". He is also in control of A&R for record label Hope Recordings, as well as being a member of the highly acclaimed duo Way Out West. Starting as tour DJ with Massive Attack, moving onto a residency at super club Cream and playing at every self-respecting club on the planet, has led him to this natural position as one of the world's most respected DJs.

All this history has been eclipsed by Nick's present: Nick continues to play out every weekend on every continent, whilst also maintaining Hope Recording's high quality output that they and Warren himself have become synonymous with; his DJ career spans two decades and is driven by a continual desire for change. His sound is forged by an enduring relationship with cutting edge producers all over the globe, in many cases long before they become established. This is no better represented than in the continuing bi-monthly Radio show 'Soundgarden' on Friskyradio which attracts over 150000 unique tune-ins to each airing, or his mixes for Digweed's 'Transitions' and now his album for Renaissance.

2014 has been an exciting year so far, Nick launched his "Soundgarden" pledge campaign, which has seen him interacting closely with his fans on bringing the album to life. Set for release on June 9th, it will bring together a diverse range of electronic styles, showcasing some of the brightest new talent alongside many established underground classics. With many more releases planned into the exciting Hope Recordings calendar and an extensive touring schedule for 2014, Warren is still at the top of his game and showcasing why he is still standing as a giant within electronic music.
