Nicson

Dance
A.k.a. Vicente Rodriguez (2)

Nicson is a distributor and creator of left-field house & techno music. Since pulling and plucking cassettes and rare vinyls from the shelves of his father's records store in Seville at the age of six, Nicson ears have always craved hearing something new. In '96 he and his friend bought a cheap record player each and shared the cost of a mixer, with no equalisers, so they could learn to mix jungle, trip-hop, house and anything they could find. The equipment stayed the same for 5 years but DJing in the bedroom quickly progressed to playing some of the best clubs in Spain. In 2006 things stepped up further when Nicson launched Flumo Recordings - a label that pioneered the way for net labels in this party centric country and is now one of the very best. Nicson is also proudly half of T.W.I.C.E - a genre spanning production outfit with Photoclick. As part of the Flumo engine they have played across Europe and released with leading labels such as My Favorite Robot, Save You and El_Txef_A´s Fiakun label After a move to London a shift took place from focusing on the label to spending more time on his own productions and musical creativity.This burst of effort and personal focus has led to releases with Tim Green's Imprint Disc Over Music, Upon You, Get Physical and Holic Trax. His music features warm and moody acid tones that sit alongside funk filled baselines dosed with a heavy sprinkling of Chicago influence. But, you could throw around any number of "genre-locking terms" at Nicson and none of them would complete the puzzle. The word is that the guy is good, not only in technique but also structure, flow and record selection. He curates a wide range of music for his sets and dives deep into his eclectic music collection to ensure he never sticks with one particular sound and mixes differing styles seamlessly. It´s all about but how he chooses your journey with a very wide variety of music.
