Gregor Salto - Tropical Tips 4

Hierbabuena (Original Mix) [feat. Yerichö]

The music has been the largest passion in the life of Nick and Danny Chatelain and they have always felt the need to share
that passion with other people. Gurus in their native Spain, Nick and Danny had their first encounter with music at the
tender age of 8 and 6 years respectively, their father was one of the first deejays in Ibiza to emerge at the end of the 60s
(Club Nito's).
Nick and Danny grasped the attention of the legendary record label Ovum Recordings, creating their own distinctive style
of the sound of the dance floor. The presentation of N&D to the World was marked with the release of Is Killing Me
(2005). The release was a huge success and topped numerous charts around the world as well as being an essential tune
for any set list. Is Killing Me has gone on to be named as one of the most influential releases of that era.
N&D are two of the Spanish deejays with the highest international presence and are globally respected in the electronic
scene. They have played in such venues as Club Catwalk & Fellini (Barcelona,SP), SeOne & Ministry of Sound
(London,UK), Space, Cameo & Glass at the Forge (Miami,US), Penetra Ibiza (World Tour), El Divino (Ibiza,SP), Mixclub
(Paris,FR), Estereo & Plazma (Bulg), Club 1171 (Moscouw,RU), Roxy & Mecca (Cheq.Repl), Stereo (Ukraina), Moa

(Badalona,SP), MateriaVivaFest (Canarias,SP), Cuevas de or Fest (Rep.Dominicana), Love Parade (DE) or Manta
Beach Club (PT) and many more across the world.
Obsessed with finding and exposing new music, they have been professionally coached in the study of sound engineering
and it was inevitable that they would begin to create their own style, ranging from House, Techno, Minimal and beyond they
have been at the top of the international game for many years with huge anthems such as The Crawl, Y Que Mas, Is
Killing Me (licensed in more than 15 countries), Caliente, Katrinyla and Rumba (also licensed in more than 10
countries) to name a few. Their releases have consistently charted high in the Beatport 100 and on numerous occasions
sat high in the Top 10. Many of their tracks have been licensed for compilations including mixes from Josh Wink,
Funkagenda, HCCR, Pete Tong, Roger Sanchez and Carl Cox as well as for some of the biggest label compilations from
Defected, CR2, Universal, Milk & Sugar, Toolroom Records, Pacha, and Ministry of Sound among others.
Expanding further their need to release great music, Nick & Danny Chatelain have created their own labels Goanche
Recordings and Uniform Inflow. Both labels have been extremely successful with each of the releases entering high in
numerous charts including the Beatport 100. The label Goanche has featured releases from such artists as Nick &
Danny Chatelain, MastikSoul, HCCR, Rodri Deniz, Camilo Franco, Edu Reyes, David Penn & Rober Gaez, Dario Nuñez,
