This Must Be The Place

Nixwax are happy to be playing at the inaugural Summer Terrace Party at The Light Bar. Cheap entry with BBQ and summer vibes. Here’s what the TMBTP Team have to say about the location and what to expect… Grab your tickets here…

“ BBQ on the terrace or heads down on the dancefloor? How about both yo? We’re serious about sound and we’re serious about food. We’ve kitted out The Light’s main bar with Funktion ones and the terrace BBQ will be ssizzling throughout the day cooking up a variety of sustaining deliciousness.

 The Light is a red brick victorian power station straddling the Shoreditch / City of London border where finance meets fine hats. We couldn’t find a much sunnier place to be in such a central location. Overlooked by some of London’s tallest buildings, the architectural time warp gives you a taste of what makes London a particularly special city. Situated between Old St. Station and Liverpool St. Station, ideal for those who want to keep going.”

NIXTAPE 030 - Empire [Space Cadets]

Nixwax play at XVI Records’ party to celebrate “XVI Records: Volume Two - Imitating Life”

OJsmooth @ Saints Don’t Sleep - Brixton Jamm

Our good friends at Saints Don’t Sleep have held a bunch of nights which have caused an absolute stir in South London recently and we are pleased to say that OJsmooth will be joining the line up for this Friday (29th March) at Brixton Jamm.

When we first met the guys behind the night, we were impressed by their intention to “put on some great DJs and all for a fiver”.

What adds more to this is that heading the line-up will be Casino Times who were some some of the first well-known DJs to really get behind the Nixwax cause.

We will all be down the front on Friday evening and look forward to seeing you all there as well.

NIX006 - Nisse Nilson

Nisse Nilson, confirmed to play at the next Nixwax Party on Feb 1 at Plan B in Brixton, has got this wonderful record coming out soon! The product comes with a few extra surprises and will be on the shelves soon, so keep your eyes peeled!

Christmas was a while ago, and New Year burnt the last of the cash. It’s January, everyone’s broke and we need a little love in our lives. Thank God then that NIX006 is here; Frankfurt’s 19 year-old Nisse Nilson brings us just what’s needed to blow the failed resolution blues away and get us thinking about how much great music there is to be had in 2013.

And what a title to start the release on! “All The Memories” is a seriously sexy number that combines twin snares with enough snap to leave you truly shocked with a murky Dankendirekt style vocal that creeps up incessantly until the first real drop.  A wonderful Rhodes breakdown (everyone loves a Rhodes) allows a short respite before those drums work their magic on your head as well as your feet.

“Tanz Akte B” takes a different route to the same crowd moving effect. Incorporating a natural shuffle in the shaker with an 808 kick style bassline, it doesn’t take long for the track’s serious bounce to infect the most leaden footed of revellers. A smattering of echoey chords and another gloopy vocal keeps the track evolving.

The B-side opens with “I Need It” and the proof is in the title. This track will worm its way into your head and roll around for days.  The drop is a jaw to the floor moment with a piercing hi-hat playing around the twin basslines to massive effect. If anything, the second drop is even bigger than the first, coming as it does when expectation is peaked.

To round out the release, Nisse slows things down with “Kleinstadtkinder” - the swirling chords and natural sounds acting as the sighs at the end of a particularly heavy evening, represented here in the driving drum track. A marimba rhythm slowly brings things back to the energetic high we’ve come to expect, and the hi hat it drags with it has hands in the air till the end.

Nixwax prides itself on the stellar quality of its producers, and Nisse Nilson is no exception. Getting bodies moving is often thought of as the defining motivation for the production of electronic music, and NIX006 can boogie with the best of them. Don’t think, however, that this is to the detriment of cohesion and musicality. NIX006 works as a collection of banging tracks but also as a wonderful whole, one that demands and rewards repeated listens in equal measure.
