VIBES_006 Mixed By Nick Varon

I've been listening to electronic music since I was old enough to tune into the John Peel show on Radio 1. Peel first introduced me to Chicago House, Detroit Electro and Rap. I would listen to an entire show with my finger hovering over the record button of my 'tape-recorder' close to the radio speaker just to record whatever 3 electronic imports he would play each night. I wish I'd kept those recordings.
From the moment I first heard 'Roxanne Shante' I sought out everything I could ranging from Kraftwerk, Mike Oldfield, Kurtis Mantronik, Africa Bambata, Grandmaster Flash, Gorgio Morodor, Axel-F, Jean Michel Jarre and just about anyone who used a synth to make music! With the arrival of House in the mid-late 80's the likes of Marshall Jefferson, Frankie Knuckles, Farley Jackmaster Funk, Steve Silk Hurley, Adonis and many more American underground House producers, the music had developed into a new, seriously exciting phenomena.
Music progressed at pace with House and Acid imports driving change, the UK in particular underwent an epiphany of sorts in the 80's and 90's. From Break-Dancing to New Romanticism, the music developed, finally morphing into the early genres of Acid Trance, Techno and Progressive Trance. Heavily influenced by American and underground Dutch and German artists and with the advent of clubbing and non-speaking mixing DJ's, it opened up a Pandora's box of new music, influences, sounds and styles. What that amounted to for me (and most others like me) was an ever-growing range of electronic music that was continually breaking free from pigeon-holes and mainstream pop culture. Electronic music had become the new classical music of a generation.
I can only say that electronic or computer music has evolved beautifully in the past 40 years and I love it as much now as the day I first heard John Peel play fantastic American imports.
I'm not anything more than a bedroom DJ and electronic music enthusiast. I have the greatest admiration for those who DJ publicly and seek to build a following or career from DJing, but that’s not a path I’ve tried to follow. I do love to put together great tunes, so for me using this sort of platform for sharing music is perfect for me. I do mixes both on my decks and using Ableton, as sometimes I find it easier to create a journey through that medium. 
As for making music, I’m slowly finding my way around Ableton in order to bring life to the musical ideas rolling around my head. 
Anyway, I hope you enjoy the mixes I post, please give me some feedback and if nothing else, support the artists themselves and buy their music.

Dedication, commitment, passion . Those elements have been following Nick since he started his journey into the world of electronic music about 15 years ago. 
	Throughout his residency at the iconic club Venue in his hometown Athens, it was Nick’s combination of professionalism & genuine passion to the underground house movement, which enabled him to make his mark as a warm up dj for some of the biggest names in dance music. Regardless he found himself sharing decks with his idols in a fairly young age, he managed to contain his enthusiasm and deliver the dance-floor ready for the main guest to take over. 
	The quality of his selection skills got the attention from some of the heavy weights of the scene like Nick Warren; who named Nick Varon "the most underrated DJ in the world”, in DjMag’s Top 100. But it was Hernán Cattaneo who was mostly captivated by his well compiled forward thinking sets. The South American legend initially invited Nick on his Greek Tours and long behold a partnership of music & talent - that still flourishes today - was created. Their collaboration has taken off with huge success in 3 continents (Europe / America / Asia). Up to now, the duo has accomplished 60 shows together, a number that barely represents the growing musical partnership but mostly a great friendship. 
	His international career keeps growing with shows from Bali to Amsterdam & from New York to Tokyo, while he has been also giving remarkable production signs. 
As a frequent now at the Sudbeat imprint and with an increasing amount of releases, builds an equally promising future on the production side as well. 
	Always loyal to the melodic - atmospheric elements - but with a continuous modernisation along with his ability to blend endless styles of underground house music has created his own signature sound. A unique style, which got him playing with two generations Legends; such as Sasha, John Digweed, Sven Vath, Dubfire, Solomun ... and thats truly a shortlist. 
	With shows in some of the most iconic venues around the world such as Crobar & Pacha in New York City, Mansion in Miami, legendary festivals such as Creamfields in Buenos Aires or the BPM and with a constant presence in Off Sonar events - in his current base in Barcelona - or in ADE, he continues to deliver well structured intriguing sets making his worldwide fan base wider and even more faithful.
