Nisus and Boys Noize at Mighty

Sockeater — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 06:22:06 +0000

Best Night EVER!!!! I got to play a 3.5 hour set for a sold out Mighty SF with Boys Noize. Steve Aoki and LA Riots were on the stage for the end of my set and the beginning of Boys Noize. It started out as a secret guest show and ended up being mental. The scene was fired up! I can’t wait for the next one. Thank you to everyone that came out and danced harder than I have ever seen. Thank you to Mighty for being the best club ever and Thank You to Blasthaus for making it all happen. Love you guys. – Nisus

Coachella!

Coachella was so fun I didn’t take off my artist bracelet for a week afterward. It was like an 8th grade field trip to the waterslides with all your friends. Last year as you might have heard, I popped up on a side stage in the Heineken dome and played a set unannounced. Instead of being pissed they asked me to return this year…
We got into Indio late on Friday night just in time to get our artist bracelets but I missed a lot of my favorite acts in the line up. I did happen to run into Erol Alkan whom I had just met on Wed and he remembered my set time on Sat saying he would come check it out!

Woke up early on Sat ate breakfast with the homies drank some Mimosas and put the final touches on my set. “Artist” bracelets are like diplomatic immunity at Coachella. We could go literally anywhere backstage and enjoy the service of golf cart chauffeurs and catering on the way. Golden! I got to the dome just to the right of the main stage 30 min before to set up and get ready. The dome audience was kinda sparse but the system was Bumping with a capital “B”. I cranked the bass and prepared for take off. Vizibelle had set up and was doing her visuals thing in a crazy 180 degree environment, wicked.

By the third track the dome started to fill in, by the fourth it was a party. 30 minutes into the set the place was packed and the CDJs were being bounced off of the mixing desk by the bass. Sometimes when things align it makes me cry. I looked over and saw Carmen on the visuals, my friends were there, the system was kicking ass and the awesome response I was getting from the crowd just was overwhelming. I was totally immersed in the reason I DJ, lost in the movement of the moment. Fuck yeah! The Heineken Ceo’s were there for my set and the guys in charge of the dome were amped. I can’t wait for next year!

For the rest of the festival I was bathed in the glow from that set, everything just felt sooo good. Damn I’m happy. Thank You so much Coachella and Heineken and everyone that came out for that very special set!

Fake Blood, Boy 8 Bit and Nisus

Nisus banging a sold out Mezzanine

March 12th was quite a night. After sound check at the Mezzanine, Boy 8 bit, Fake Blood, the Blasthaus crew and I headed out for sushi, boatloads of sushi. Then we bounced back to the Mezz. By around 10pm the venue was filling in, by 11pm it was packed! Boy 8 Bit played a solid set that was a perfect opener for the auditory wonders Fake Blood followed with. It was so nice to have some actual Djing going down on stage again with so many Ableton clone sets making the rounds. The crowd was feeling the flow and the security was busy pulling the bodies off of the Funktion One stacks and down from the hanging highs. At 2am it was my turn at the mixer. Following two of my hero’s was an intense experience. As soon as I stepped up to the decks I focused on rocking it as hard as possible and soon enough my mind was lost in the flow of the mix. It felt good. I could tell the audience was feeling it and I just kept leaning on the bass till I could tell the system was at its limits. It was’nt til the next day when I saw Chris Brennan’s video from upstairs that I realized how incredible the night was. All around success. Huge THANK you to Blasthaus, Mezzanine, Fake Blood, Boy 8 Bit, Sleazemore for making it all possible. -Nisus
