The Producer that takes you back to the banging roots of EDM, House and Techno merged into a musical excursion that will have you telling people the DJ Made Me Do It. With hints of Latin Jazz, Reggae and Hip-Hop joined in the mix Nicky Roland stands out as one of a handful of producers creating for real DJs in the era of the “push and play” DJ; you can hear the difference of someone who understands counting the beats and blending a song into the mix VS the mixes created purely to appeal to the algorithms of the streaming platforms. That is what Nicky Roland gives, banging beats that are far from the autogenerated, generic, predictable lick that is out there.
Growing up in London, Nicky was at the forefront of the Underground party scene in the early 90’s working with the legendary Party Group Coalesce Sound and Vision. Organising what was labelled as the best House Nights in the UK. Now residing in Denver CO he continues to release those Retro inspired hits.
His latest release “Feel It” is due out 17 of June on all streaming platforms. Best put in his own words….
“I’d been thinking of doing a Nu Disco track for a while and had been listening to Suki Soul (by far one of the most talented singers on the scene today) quite a lot. I also love the dreamy trippy sounds of Daft Punk and the vocals Benoit & Sergio used in the $100 bill (all of them greatly influenced the outcome of this track). I didn’t necessarily set out with this idea of this being the one, but it certainly morphed into that. I was working on a YouTube tute to show my workflow, but as I developed the drums, and layered on the baseline I realised that it was far too good to be used as a tute. When making music I often feel like I’m just a passenger blowing the dust away to reveal what it wants to be. That was definitely the case for Feel It, it’s a far more subconscious process than a conscious one. It’s often only after the event that I look back and realise, oh yeah, I was influenced by this song, or that artist.”
