Nick
Sentience
Where are you and how are you feeling
today?
At the moment I am in Australia and I am
a bit jetlagged!
I believe your from Lincoln? When and
Why did you leave?
I was born in Lincoln but left at the age
of 10 for germany as my father was in the RAF.
Describe your djing style?
I play all sorts of music from funky tech-house,
euphoric trance, hard trance and really banging stuff. I play whatever
I think is appropriate for the club I’m at as I think the
most important thing is that the clubbers have fun.
How did you get involved in music?
I always grew up with music and in my early
teens started compiling my own tapes of my favourite tracks. Then
I started mixing them on decks and bought a keyboard. I signed with
nukleuz at 17 and moved to London.
What are you favourite labels?
Retek, Vicious Circle, Telica, Recover, Nukleuz
and Tidy.
What would be your dream gig?
I would love to say but I’m planning
it at the moment so can’t give away my ideas!
What has been your most surreal clubbing
moment?
Probably playing at Frantic in Sydney because
of all the Aussies that used to be in London but had returned to
home. I forgot I was 14000 miles away.
Which 4 words would best describe you?
Enthusiastic, energetic, spiritual, friendly
(I hope!)
What did you do before your were a dj?
I was at school, I have been doing this since
I was 16.
How long have you been djing for now?
8 years
What was the name of the first record
you ever bought?
Birdhouse in your soul by They Might Be Giants
when I was about 7.
At a guess, how many records do you
own?
About a 1000 but I have thrown a lot away,
so the y are my best ones.
How has clubland changed over the last
few years for you?
I think the music has got more varied and
less pigeon holed with more open minded clubbers.
Why do you think hard dance and in particular
the pioneers of that genre ‘Frantic & Nukleuz’ are
so successful?
Success is always achieved with hard work
and enthusiasm.
Do you do any studio work? If so tell
us about it?
I was producing before I was dj’ing
I have also done a lot of remixing. I have a lot of stuff on nukleuz
and the remixes can be found on a lot of the major labels.
Where do you see yourself in 20 years
time?
Probably still waiting at airport check ins!
