From many countries around the world, I am asked if I know Nickodemus. Sure I know of him, I know his work, I know his history, but I never gotten to know him personally. Perhaps some day soon. We are located at two far corners of the country. His environment is much different than mine. The main Latino community in my area is Mexican, while his is more of a mix of Puerto Rican and Dominican among several others. But we do share the love of Global Bass with much emphasis on Latin-based music.
Nickodemus has definitely made his mark over on the east coast though. Here is a bit of his history thanks to the Press Junkie press release:
From his early days as a resident at the legendary Giant Step parties in NYC, to his groundbreaking Turntables on the Hudson parties held on a dock on the westside, to his current status as a globe-trotting ambassador of all things Funky, Deep and Global – Nickodemus has been a long-running force in nightlife and international DJ culture, amassing 3 highly regarded albums of original music with accompanying remix records on Thievery Corporation’s ESL imprint and his own Wonderwheel Recordings.
To celebrate 10 years since the release of his debut album Endangered Species, Nickodemus has done a special mix CD entitled WONDERWORLD: 10 Years of Painting Outside The Lines, chronicling his musical evolution over the last decade. The CD is a masterful, seamless mix of 23 career highlights – original productions and remixes from a vast array of producers all over the world. This special mix CD comes with a card inserted for free download of all the individual tracks, and is also available on cassette form.
