Nick Warren

Real Name:
Nicholas John Warren
Profile:
A much-loved trance and progresive DJ who got his start playing dub, hip-hop, acid house and other various styles in Bristol, UK in the early 90's. Most notably was the tour DJ for Massive Attack during their first major tour of the USA.

Had an extremely popular residency at Liverpool-based nightclub Cream in the mid-90's, and further bolstered his reputation as one-half of production team Way Out West, which had massive club hits with the singles "Ajare" and "The Gift". His global circuit DJing and work with Way Out West continue to this day.

Nick Warren is currently the Head of A&R (Artiste and Repertoire) at Bristol based record label Hope Recordings.

Review by 7.52 Apr 11, 2007 (edited over 2 years ago)
Like Jeff Bridges being one of the most underrated actors in the industry that is Hollywood, Nick Warrren is easily the most underrated DJ since... well ever actually. Ever since Reykjavik he is yet to mix a boring note and this is saying something. He gave us Holden and Adam Spears and Ulrich amongst a great many host of others and continues to dazzle us with intelligent mature, patient mixing and a very impressive palette in the avenue of track selection.

If it is hard proof that you are looking for check the GU catalogue. He quite literally, almost IS Global Underground ( a fact this humble man Bristol never highlights). With a notably different mindset from the other egomanical DJs and club promoters, he is the kind of person you silently but perpetually wish "godspeed" with every new venture he undertakes.

Personally I think he is what it means to be a DJ; a man who, first and foremost, spins the music he loves and does everything he can to bring it to the ones who love it as much as he does or at least are operating on a similar wavelength.
