Carl Nicholson’s Bio
Carl Nicholson has been involved with the harder edged dance circuits since the sprightly age of 15, initially as an MC for Hardcore outfits but then progressed onto DJ'ing in 1993 when the house music revolution loomed over the world of rock music, and the kids swapped their Guitars for Technics SL2100's, and bandanas for glow sticks. During this time Carl studied his craft with a fine tooth comb and began his career as a DJ within the London underground scene as a warm-up, beginning at The Sanctuary (London) courtesy of Darren Underwood (Stormin' D) who saw that this kid had potential and gave him his first break and then went onto Reclaim the Streets/Jump/Self Indulgence, which slowly but surely progressed to more main slot gigs at far more prolific parties at the time (Strawberry Sundae/Sunny Side Up/Trinity).
Since then Carl has grown to become a worldwide phenomenon within the Hard Dance/Hard Trance genres having held major residencies at Fabric(London), Matrix(Reading) and being billed alongside legends including Todd Terry, Fatboy Slim, Chemical Brothers & Judge Jules. Carl then went on to guest at major UK promotions including Frantic, Glastonbury Festival, Miss Moneypennys, Sundissential, Wildchild, Extreme Euphoria & Heat UK, and then clocked up numerous releases on Nukleuz, Tidy Trax, Elasticman, Traffic, Fevah, Species, Oblivion and Global Panic of which 8 went straight into the Top 20 of the national dance charts, and with multiple airplay on Radio 1 and have been featured on no less that 20 Compilations worldwide including the world famous Euphoria series.
Not content with just the UK, Carl has completed Tours of Ibiza, Poland, Netherlands, Australia & New Zealand to very high acclaim with another tour of OZ and a brand new packed to the rafters every week Canadian club on board Carl's looking to be absolutely 'Rock N' Rolling' attraction by the end of this year..
2008 is without doubt looking to be a major turning point for Mr Nicholson as he reaches his 14th Anniversary as a DJ and with constant support of his material by the likes of Lisa Lashes, Tidy Boys, Rob Tissera, Dave Pearce & Technikal to name a few plus with another 10 releases scheduled in the pipeline things can only get much, much better.
Bring on the people! The Future's bright, the future IS Nicholson!"
