Ultravox - Dancing With Tears In My Eyes (Tripswitch Bootleg)

Nic James DJ/Producer from Sheffield.

Influenced by the early house and techno parties he witnessed as a youth, Nic started DJing in the early 90’s, playing at local clubs in his hometown of Sheffield. A few years on and he made the transition to producer after taking time out to learn the craft. He now writes and produces music for himself as well as engineering tracks for other artists, shying away from the pre-made loops and samples found in a lot of today’s music, instead choosing to make most of his sounds from the ground up. He has had releases on Labels such as BEEF Records, Something Else, Mojear, and Love Not Money, with tracks supported by the likes of Sasha,AudioJack and Tensnake and Shades of Grey to name a few.

For a veteran chillout producer to successfully navigate the transition to sought-after producer / remixer and DJ within the Progressive House scene, is not an easy ask. But Nick Brennan a.k.a. Tripswitch has done just that – and with distinction. It was his Tripswitch ‘Vagabond’ album (Iboga Records, 2016) that cemented his highly rated status as a key dance producer beyond doubt. The album rose to the top of the Beatport charts, hitting #1 in Electronica and holding at #2 in Progressive House for 3 months.

Since then, a flawless resumé of releases on Bedrock, Sudbeat, The Soundgarden, Movement, Balkan Connection, Flow Vinyl, Pure Progressive and many more creatively exciting labels, has seen Tripswitch’s progressive stock grow exponentially. Chart-topping collaborative studio projects with Nick Warren and Hernán Cattaneo, along with a huge bootleg remix of London Grammar’s ‘Rooting For You’, helped to propel him to the upper reaches of the production cosmos.

Tripswitch’s melodic, emotionally charged, proper progressive DJ sets at amazing events around the world have resulted him gaining a loyal and ever-growing global audience. In 2017 Nick launched his onedotsixtwo label, with its distinct forward-thinking proper progressive ethos. Impeccable curation and the remarkable smash single ‘Voight Kampff’ (courtesy of Tripswitch & Nick Warren) have already seen onedotsixtwo recognised as a ‘Vital Label’ by DJ Mag USA in 2019.

Never one to limit himself creatively, early 2020 saw Tripswitch release ‘Memento Mori’, his hugely anticipated first chillout album in 10 years.
