Being a production line of carefully crafted composition with a meticulous production standard, Calyx & Teebee have delivered yet again. And after dominating the Beatport Top 100 with their most recent single ‘A Day That Never Comes / Snakes & Ladders’, they won’t be applying the brakes anytime soon, especially in the lead up to their greatly anticipated second album on the Ram imprint.

Back on vocal duties, Calyx demonstrates the pair’s multi-dimensional approach to beat making. With plucky percussion relaying you through bouncing subs and a drivingly solid bassline, it defines their vast repertoire of style. They’re not scared to dip into unfamiliar territories, with Calyx’s cool vocals sitting on top of lulling guitar rhythms to provide the first part of a diverse and brilliantly crafted record. 

With an album laying just out of reach, each single is bringing us closer and closer to the inevitable. All four tracks prove their still a formidable force to be reckoned with; this LP will only emphasise that fact.

The Phoenix Rises: DJ Nick Henderson's Triumphant Return
It's been five years since a life-altering accident sent DJ Nick Henderson's world into a spiral. But through sheer grit, unwavering determination, and the unwavering support of his loved ones, Nick has clawed his way back, emerging stronger and more passionate than ever before.
The journey hasn't been easy. It's been a gruelling marathon of "many ups and downs, small and large battles," as Nick aptly puts it. But with every hurdle cleared, every challenge overcome, the fire within him burned brighter. And finally, in a monumental feat of resilience, Nick has achieved his first major milestone: his first full DJ mix since the accident.
This mix is more than just a collection of tracks; it's a testament to the unyielding spirit of a man who refused to be silenced. It's a sonic tapestry woven from threads of struggle, perseverance, and the unyielding love for music that has always been Nick's guiding light.
The mix pulsates with the raw energy of Nick's newfound resolve. Each beat throbs with the echoes of countless hours spent in physical and mental therapy, each transition resonating with the unwavering support of his family and friends. It's a powerful soundscape that speaks volumes about the power of the human spirit, a sonic phoenix rising from the ashes of adversity.
But this is just the beginning. As Nick himself declares, "I hope for more to come as I continue to fight." May 2024 be the year that marks the true rebirth of DJ Nick Henderson. Let the music be his weapon, the dance floor his battlefield, and the rhythm his guide as he reclaims his rightful place behind the decks.
So crank up the volume, feel the bass vibrate through your bones, and let the infectious energy of Nick's music wash over you. This is more than just a DJ spinning tracks; it's a story of triumph, a testament to the human spirit's unyielding power, and a sonic invitation to join Nick on his journey back to the top.
The phoenix has risen. Are you ready to dance?
Early Rhythms and Evolution:

My DJ journey began at 12, fueled by the infectious grooves of Dance FM and Centreforce Radio. Around that time, a rising star named Carl Cox ignited my passion for crafting electrifying mixes. My ear trained in diverse settings, from intimate Canary Island bars to the pulsating sands of Drop Beach and Flag Beach parties. This experience honed my unique style, guaranteed to ignite the dance floor with House and Techno rhythms.

Witnessing Legends and Taking the Stage:

The early 90s found me immersed in the electrifying atmosphere of the Drum Club. Witnessing the rise of Daren Emmerson and Underworld, alongside future icons like Left Field, Svenvath, and Andrew Weatheral, shaped my understanding of sonic mastery.

My own DJ path flourished across iconic venues:

Teenage Triumphs: Ministry of Sound at 19, Lime Lights and Camden Palace in my early 20s.
Canary Island Groove: Ceasers Nightclub, Banana Bar, and countless captivating beach parties.
Back to Blighty: NOMAD London and Thurst Bar Greek Street, alongside releasing mixes on SoundCloud and my own website.
Rebirth and Renewal:

In late 2018, a life-altering accident forced me to rebuild. Supported by my incredible family and friends, I embarked on a challenging five-year recovery journey. With dedication and the expertise of specialists, I regained my strength and found music calling me back.

A New Chapter at Awokakai Recordings:

Mid-2023 reunited me with my brother, owner and manager of Awokakai Recordings. This vibrant label has nurtured diverse talents like MR E, Heliocor, and Julian E, collaborating with vocal powerhouses The Ragga Twins and Jasmine Knight. I'm excited to join this creative family and share my own musical journey through Awokakai.
