Combine
Steve Nichols' bangin' music with his charged-up energy behind
the decks and you've got a recipe for absolute mayhem on the dancefloor.
With extensive experience across Australia and the UK this international
superstar is quickly becoming one of the most sought-after DJs
in the country.
His innovative sound crosses the hard dance spectrum, from funk
to trance to pumping hard house. With a growing preference for
hard, uplifting trance, his sets are always played to perfection
and guaranteed to get the crowd stompin' and sweaty!
Industry
leaders have described Steve’s performances as

"...
wicked trance, going into harder territories before blending into
lovely hard house rhythms ... loved the build-up and the mixing
is superb ... could really take you on a dancefloor journey ...".
Steve had his first taste of what the electronic world had to
offer in April '95. Eight mind-blowing hours spent in a Brisbane
club single-handedly changed the way he looked at music and the
dance scene. The desire to be the person who created that energy
and atmosphere was too strong to resist ... and with the purchase
of turntables soon after, the adventure began! Steve's DJing career
quickly progressed from the bedroom to house parties to clubs
and raves. Then in 1998, a six-month stint in the United States
took him to a whole new level. Developing and diversifying his
talent, Steve sent clubbers into a frenzy at venues like The Hideaway
in Winter Park, Colorado, and Bourbon Street in Auburn, Alabama.
In
'99 came the move to London, which saw Steve secure his place
among the world's DJing elite. Scoring regular guest slots at
club nights such as 24/7, Emigration, Fahrenhite, Fevah, Pickle,
Provocation, Qwench, Random, Solid Sunday, Turmoil, Twisted and
XLR8, at venues that have included Heaven and The Ministry of
Sound, Steve just kept getting bigger and better.
During this time, he regularly played alongside the likes of Nick
Sentience, BK, Phil Reynolds (including a memorable back2back
set), Steve Blake, Justine Bourne, Steve Hill, Andy Farley, Stimulant
DJs, James Lawson, Tidy Boys, Paul Glazby, Lab 4 and Ed Real. |
