Ray Nicholes - Blank Code Podcast |058|

release date : 06-11-2012

It’s Monday June 11th, 2012 and today we bring you a podcast from an old friend and a proper techno artist, Ray Nicholes. Ray started out playing the drums in his early years and coupled with his interest in rock, industrial, and hip-hop he realized quickly that he had an unique edge to his creativity. While living in west Michigan he continued to build the foundation of his sound as he bounced between the underground techno scenes of Chicago, Detroit, and Toronto in the early ’90s.

Since moving to Miami in 2009, Ray has performed at a number of clubs and private events including multiple gigs during WMC. He headlined parties at Space Techno Loft, Grand Central, Treehouse, and Overkill Warehouse Party Art Basel (Miami Beach); and also performed for Detek at The Works during the 2011 Movement Festival in Detroit.

BIO:
Starting out playing the drums and early years interest in rock, industrial, and hip-hop Ray Nicholes realized quickly that he had an unparalleled edge to his creativity. He continued to built the foundation of his sound while developing his roots in west Michigan as he bounced between the underground techno scenes of Chicago, Detroit, and Toronto in the early '90s. With the rapidly evolving techno scene Ray kept his focus on producing tracks. His EPs Black Kamanche, Confessions, Tentación, and Caja de Ultima Hora "the remixes" are all released on Black Nation Records. Over 20 years of influence by some of the icons of techno he has been able to fine tune and master his style that he coins "machine gun techno" with sound and style that is dark, deep, heavy on drums and percussion, somewhat moody and tribal with lifting sexy vocals and intrinsic loops. Since moving to Miami in 2009, Ray has been featured in a number of venues including multiple gigs during WMC. He headlined at Space Techno Loft, Grand Central, Treehouse, and Overkill Warehouse Party Art Basel; but also performed at The Works during Movement Festival 2011 in Detroit while keeping busy with international gigs in central and S. America. Ray recently returned from playing at Amsterdam Dance Event 2011 as guest DJ for Dream Spinners showcasing TMR. Stayed tuned for Ray's next release, a remix of Tony Kasper's" Changes " .
