The Remix Machine has been in constant flow pumping remixes since the late 90's until today. Thanks to all the artists who gave me the opportunity to take their music in another direction... mainly the dance-floor direction. Special thanks to Zeb aka The Spy from Cairo & Chris Annibell aka Osiris who I started working on remixes with since the beginning. Thank you to Marcus Tupi Visual Lab for the original design taking the idea of a Remix Machine being a pizza & negroni filled heart & all the labels who helped me get this compilation together. Please check the entire digital compilation at turntablesonthehudson.bandcamp.com and even more comprehensive list of remixes not on this compilation at Nickodemus Spotify page. *Only tracks 1 - 8 are on the vinyl.

It was a call to action for inspiration, creation, motivation & moving your body in response to the depressing times of initial lockdown & continued music gathering closures during the pandemic. What we did instead was invested in music, art, collaborations, videos, remixes hoping to keep the spirits alive & inspiration high for each other. It’s now Spring of 2022 & we’re happy we did it all. Here’s the fruits of those seeds planted. Songs from artists across the sound spectrum from Morocco, Italy, USA, Spain, Argentina, Peru, UK, Montenegro, France, Belgium, Turkey, Dominican Republic, Niger & more. 

Ever since the party & label began in 1998, its mission was to shine the light on the underground international community making dance music & after 15 compilations, this is another proud example. Thanks for your continued support. Nickodemus

Turntables on the Hudson "Inside The Dance Vol 5" Mix by Nickodemus

Over the pandemic, Fred would check in with me ask what I'm working on & how I'm handling the situation. We both started with the ASR-10 sampler & we discussed trading unfinished tracks & sample discs & finishing each others tracks. In the meantime, I made him this 2 record mash-up on my turntables as part of that series I was keeping myself & record collection busy with. He loved it but I never dropped it, so here it is for our B-Boy extRedAstaire R.I.Beats Freddie uniting  with some heavy hitters up in the Hip Hop Heavens - I hope you're feeling all this love Worldwide. Condolences to the whole family, I want you to know we tried getting him to NYC many times but he loved you guys so much he never wanted to leave home. Love from NYC, Nickodemus

A NEW YORK MINUTE by Nickodemus feat The Real Live Show, Sadat X, Rabbi Darkside, iLLspokinN

Going way back to the turn of the millennium with my brother Chris Annibell aka Osiris & Mino Cinelo. Here was our typical day in Brooklyn 2000. I was making coffee's at The Bergen Beat Cafe, Brooklyn. Chris comes over we talk shop for a few hours about music, parties, politics. We go to Pizzatown on 5th ave, grab 2 slices each & talk shop with Nick & Vinny. Then we walk go to Chris' house with some samples, flip on the MPC 2000 to chop samples & mess with beats... bring those back to my place & mess with the ASR-10 keys. Lastly, we record it all to my VS-880 about 50 times turning things up & then down & then up again. Lastly, we record Mino Cinelu when everyone was out of the apartment & things were quiet.  We mix it all down again & again until it was time to master it at Ron's Atlantic West Studios. Then, test it in the car & in the clubs about a week... make more changes & make the artwork & the jump photos! This release came out on Giant Step Records & is now on WONDERWHEEL Recordings. www.wonderwheelrecordings.com

NIckodemus & Osiris feat Mino Cinelu "Free Souls Part 1"

Longtime friend, DJ, producer Sid Vaga saw that Nickodemus was about to play at the Electrafrique party in Dakar & asked if I can get in touch with this singer he noticed on DJ Cortega's Instagram page called Beni-Fadi. Beni-Fadi comes from Bandafassi, Senegal's South East region, where they speak an almost extinct language called Menik. In an attempt to keep the language alive, Beni decided to collaborate with electronic producers & bring his language & story of the Bedik people to the World. Mba-Mba (Dilemma) speaks of being proud of who you are & where you come from even when you are the minority.

Sangare (Nickodemus Remix) by Vieux Farka Touré

In the year 1997, Nickodemus & Jay B met through friend & music fanatic Eddy Plenty. At the time, Nickodemus was DJ'ing at Organic Grooves & Giant Step parties & experimenting with sampling from his record collection from around the World. Jay B was writing music & experimenting with the latest in computer programming software. Their shared love for fat beats of soul, funk, trip hop, jazz from around the World was the common ground that made for a quick music making synergy. In the 1st year working together, they managed to make the following songs as well as a few remixes & unreleased beats that never made it off of the DAT recorder. We hope you enjoy these songs from the Brooklyn Beat Cave in 1997.

Here's what I been working on in the studio between touring for the past 5 years. Please download this mix & spread the flowers around!
http://hyperurl.co/sdd3o7

Nickodemus’ “A Long Engagement” is a testament to how much great music there is in the world and how connected we all can be. -Newsday 

A Long Engagement is like a beautiful, joyous family party. It’s a celebration of life and diversity, of achievements and power of unity; a dedication of love to New York and the sincerest ode to its intrinsically complicated beauty. As the last track closes, the sound of a spray can is back, probably signing this amazingly festive musical portrait of the city that never sleeps. -Rhythm Passport

Nickodemus' latest song "Immortales" remains quite the standout. You won't hear any trap beats bursting from this Middle Eastern-tinged sound, but you will hear the rhythmic harmonies or Argentinian trio Fémina who lend their Latin voices to its worldly call. -Billboard

Nickodemus live at The House of AïA - Palmaïa mix 2020

In 1995 I passed on a mix tape to Groove Academy (Giant Step) Marc Labelle at an outdoor stage that was rocking with DJ's Jazzy Nice, Chillfreeze + Groove Collective & Nappy G live. They soon took me on as a 3rd DJ in the weekly rotation of the legendary Giant Step parties. The club vibes were HOT! There was a mix of hip hop, jazz, funk, live instrumentation, paintings, tap dancers as well as a very funky & sexy dance floor! Needless to say, I was hooked & thanks to Marc, Maurice Bernstein & Jonathan Rudnick, I stayed in the Giant Step crew for many years after. We pushed the sounds from Acid Jazz/funk, Hip Hop/Trip Hop, House & Drum & Bass- all with live musicians taking it to another level. I've also had the opportunity to DJ at shows for Jazzmattazz, Tricky, K&D, St Germain, Pharcyde, Groove Collective, Massive Attack, Gil Scott Heron & all the greats who passed through NYC at that time. Here's the 1st mix-tape I did for Giant Step in 1995. It featured artwork by BLUSTER! #MixTapeDiaries with more mixes & stories continue on  www.mixcloud.com/Nickodemus   ENJOY & please share this moment in time!

Nickodemus & Osiris "Free Souls pt 2"

Urban / Organic / Electronic / Global MUSIC you can bend a knee to!  
https://www.songkick.com/artists/30529-nickodemus

Nickodemus is a traveler at heart—a connector of worlds, scenes, and people since the mid-90s. Over his extensive career as a touring DJ and producer, including 5 albums and canonical tunes like “My Swing es Tropical” and “Cleopatra in New York”, he’s helped pave the way for an inimitable mix of global fusion and the heavy beats we yearn for in the club. His music has long thrived on the close relationships and mutual respect of friends he’s built across the continents, felt through the worldly potions he cooks up in the studio, and spanning electronic sounds rooted in Latin, African, and Eastern instrumentation. His latest album, A Long Engagement, serves as a culmination of the inspirations he’s absorbed and remains rooted in his life as native New Yorker and the city’s nostalgic energy. 

Nickodemus’ sound is often focused on the connective tissue of his many live collaborations and the electronic solitude of his studio (or record-filled bubble, as he calls it). Through his much-loved label Wonderwheel Recordings, he’s not only regularly releasing some of the most soul-shaking, eclectic sounds in the biz, but focusing deeply on artist development and creating long-lasting moments that live on far longer than their track length. The music you hear in his releases are filled with expression, reflection, and care; they’re both open-minded and deeply focused, a rarity at time in today’s overcrowded music industry. 

As a remixer, he’s also lent his “Remix Machine” to a wide range of artists including pioneers like Bob Marley and Nina Simone, as well as other like minded genre-welders like Thievery Corporation, Quantic, and Mr. Scruff. Throughout his career he’s also carved an important niche in the live music scene with his beloved Turntables on the Hudson parties, that have popped up everywhere from New York to Cairo.  
 
Currently on tour around Europe & USA, his latest album "Soul and Science" is another portrait into the importance of shared ideas and the dialogue artists can share when they look past language or place of birth. It’s another bass-heavy global party and we’re all invited.
