In Sydney he has been heavily involved with the local hip-hop community and club culture, as a DJ/producer, radio host and DJ course tutor. By relentlessly exposing radio listeners/clubbers/hip-hop heads and others Australia-wide to new and unheard sounds, Nick would like to be understood as an entertainer as well as educator, with an uncompromising dedication to musical excellence and an acute awareness of the cultural contexts and historical roots of contemporary music, from hip-hop and R&B to dancehall reggae, deep funk to electro.
