You can tell when Nick Warren’s on the decks. The music emanating from the man 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, his crowd experience all the peaks and troughs that make his music so unique. Locking on early, you’ll hear his deeper take on house which morphs, as the club mood changes, into harder territory, music for sweating and losing yourself to. And at that point when the light are low, when smoke fills the room and people are dancing on instinct, that’s when the melodies start to rise over the top, washing the worries and exertions of life away, completing the club experience. That’s why Nick Warren is so respected, because he knows how to truly work a club, to take a crowd high, then higher again. That’s what comes with vision and, just as importantly, experience.



Joining up with another Bristol producer, Jody Wisternoff in 1994 to form Way Out West, they recorded the seminal ‘Ajare’ single together, a huge progressive house club hit. Three years later, and with the duo now signed to Deconstruction, it was re-released, this time breaking into the charts and finally, the nation’s consciousness. Nick was now travelling the world as a DJ, playing in Singapore, Australia and eastern Europe, taking his sound to places that he could have once only dreamed about going to. Liverpool superclub, Cream offered him a residency in recognition of his talent and in 1999 he recorded a mix for the highly respected Global Underground mix CD series. At present he has just finished recording a new Way Out West album with Jody for Deconstruction and there’ll be another Global Undergound mix coming out soon as well. Nick Warren isn’t for standing still, he loves what he’s doing too much for that, but you know that already.
