Brooklyn based DJ/producer Nickodemus has been an ambassador for global club sounds since he started spinning at the legendary Giant Step parties that rocked New York in the mid 90′s. When he founded the legendary Turntables On The Hudson party with his friends Mariano & Nappy G, they continued mixing their eclectic DJ sets with live musicians. The influence of hip-hop, house, reggae, soul and jazz led him to the sounds of Africa, Brazil, the Caribbean, the Middle East and India. Throughout his DJ travels he built an extensive record collection and an extended network of collaborators from Puerto Rico to Beirut who performed on his original recordings and became part of the tapestry that started in the club and manifested itself on his first two full-length records, Endangered Species and Sun People.
Outside of the clubs Nickodemus’ music has reached far and wide in one of the most iconic iTunes commercials to date when Apple featured his collaboration with Quantic and the Candela All-Stars “Mi Swing es Tropical” in the 2007 summer ad. Moon People, the new Nickodemus project, is a natural extension of his previous work, an album for night people that also captures the energy of the global village that is New York and features luminaries such as Afrika Bambaataa, new-Latin/Electo group Navegante and one of Nickodemus’ oldest collaborators Zeb. “Sun People had a live organic daytime party sound,” he explains. “Moon People is the deeper electronic side of my music. It’s dedicated to the nocturnal people who work, create, party and operate while the rest of the world is asleep, with hints of playfulness and sunshine.”
