Born and raised in the Seattle area and always surrounded by different types of music. My personal musical journey took me from 80s synth-pop, to early rap & hip-hop, metal, grunge, punk, and then industrial music, before finding house, techno, and the underground Seattle rave scene in the early 90s. After going to my first rave in 1993, I was absolutely hooked, started collecting vinyl, and bought my first set of Technics SL1200MK2 turntables and DJ mixer in 1995. 

Collecting vinyl and DJing led me to Platinum Records Seattle, an underground vinyl store,  where I worked from 2000 to late 2003, during a massive resurgence of rave culture in Seattle. During that time, I played multiple raves at old venues like NAF, Studio B, Club Insight, Club FX, and clubs/after-hours like Aero Space, Noc Noc, Liquid Lounge, Club Contour, etc. 

At the end of 2003 I starting working for Rane Corporation WA, a pro-audio/ DJ mixer company that was based in Mukilteo area from 1981 until the closing of the factory in 2016. While at Rane from 2003-2016, I worked as a Product Specialist, Technical Support, Product Clinician, Social Media Manager, Artist Relations, Beta Tester, Project Manager, and Product Design, and the designer of the infamous Rane MP2015 and Rane MP2014 rotary DJ mixers. 

Fast forward to today, I am still DJing, still raving, and now throwing underground parties in the Seattle area (ifykyk 😘). I'm a resident DJ for the Diffusion crew, Brit Jean Presents, and Blue Moon. I've been producing music under the name "Double Helix," a musical duo with my good friend Rob Ali, with two releases out (so far) on Deep Contour Music, and Seattle's own Uniting Souls Music!

Born and raised Seattle native, Nicky has always been surrounded with music. A classically trained multi-instrumentalist with a strong background in music theory pushes their set curation to the outer limits giving you a unique but familiar feeling… fresh… like "Why haven't I heard this?" His style seamlessly integrates house, techno, electro, UKG, bass line, fidget & breaks. No genre is off limits. Nicky will always bring out the best in anything from trance, psy-trance, funky house, progressive, nudisco, indie, melodic house & techno or drum&bass. Their fun & upbeat feel good filthy bass heavy dance music will take you on a trip deep in into vast realms of premium underground dance music.

Discovered at a random afterhours party deep in the Seattle underground throwing it down next an empty six pack with a mouthful of bubble gum-  FUTUREGRANDPA, formerly known as DJ “Nicky G," has been igniting dance floors for ages. An avid dancer & raver since the early 2000s. Raised by local legends, Nicky began honing their DJ skills in 2004. This marked the start of a 21 year journey through rave & underground dance music culture, a path from which they never looked back. 

Nicky quickly made a name for themselves, opening for international artists including Reid Speed, Donald Glaude, DJ Dan, Felix Da Housecat & Max Graham. They held residencies at numerous historic Seattle nightclubs, including Contour, Tiki Bob’s, Last Supper Club, Trinity, Club Heavens, Fuel, Re-Bar & Monkey Loft. Nicky has also made several appearances mixing live on the renowned radio station C89.5 Worldwide. Their talent eventually led to performances at larger, world-class venues, including the Gorge Amphitheater for Paradiso Festival.

In recent years, Nicky has shifted gears to focus on his latest project, performing and producing original music under the new moniker FUTUREGRANDPA. This new identity captures their unique style and vision. Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, Nicky is back behind the decks, turning heads & moving bodies as the latest resident for Elevated Frequencies.

A friend once wrote: “Nicky has the heart of a lion and an ear for picking the dirtiest tracks around. One of Seattle’s most talented dj’s, their desire to make those around him move is what keeps him focused on the mission at hand - to make you groove!" 

Crank it up & sweat it out. Stay weird. Never stop dancing.

The ever shape shifting, critically hailed Hercules & Love Affair return with brand new album In Amber, to be released on 17th June 2022 via Skint/BMG.

“Across this record, there are emotional fields I hadn’t ventured into previously with Hercules & Love Affair,” says Butler. “Destruction, rage, loss, but also redemption and journeying towards empowerment are all touchstones on the album. It has taken years to make, but I am happy to put it forward now, at a moment in time where we have all been confronted with such heightened feelings collectively and on an unprecedented scale”.

Reuniting with ANOHNI for the first time since her stellar turn on the eponymous debut in 2008 (which undeniably produced one of the most beloved dance tunes of the oughts “Blind”) proved key to this process. Both share a love and deep respect for music of a more aggressive bent, zig zagging from grindcore like Godflesh and Bolt Thrower, via electronic avant-garde like Throbbing Gristle and Cabaret Voltaire to female fronted punk and metal like Sacrilege, Fear of God and Diamanda Galas.  On the other end of the spectrum, they have an equally intense appreciation for darker ethereal acts such as This Mortal Coil and Dead Can Dance. In Amber reflects this wide swathe of emotion and sound.
