For our 50th edition and almost a year since the inception of this mix series we are ecstatic to have one of the undisputed legends of the house and techno scene to celebrate this milestone: @djnickwarren.

You can tell when Nick Warren is on the decks. The music emanating from the DJ booth is that perfect club mix of driving percussion and soaring musicality, bursting out of the speakers, soaking everyone in melody, drenching them in sound.

To this day, Warren remains at the forefront of club culture: he packs clubs and arenas worldwide from London to Buenos Aires to Burning Man, transfixing dancefloors with his distinctively forward blend of credible progressive sounds, deeper tunes, atmospheric layers and any other grooves Warren deems appropriate for his turntable.

Nick Warren became one of the first so-called "superstar DJs" in the mid-to-late '90s, holding down a high-profile residency at Cream in England, touring around the world, and appearing on several DJ mix albums before they became commonplace. Though he spun an eclectic array of dance styles in the late '80s and early '90s, he eventually championed the late-'90s trance sound of labels like Hooj Choons and joined the ranks of other superstar DJs like Paul Oakenfold, Sasha, and Tall Paul.

Warren moved to Bristol in the 1980s after having just turned 20. By the early '90s, he was one of the city's top DJs, spinning upstairs at Vision, one of the city's first super-clubs. At the time, Warren spun everything from dub and hip-hop to house, which became his preferred style.

When fellow Bristol artists Massive Attack left to tour America in the wake of their early success, they invited Warren to accompany them on tour as their official DJ, a testament to his turntable skills as well as his reputation at the time. Eventually, Warren began a massively successful stint as the resident DJ at Cream in Liverpool.

The years that followed saw Nick Warren enjoy a whirlwind of success. Through a combination of providing acclaimed mixes for Mixmag, DMC, and the hugely successful Global Underground series, and releasing a string of club-smashing solo singles, Warren found himself catapulted into the electronic and house big leagues; and, by continuing to release acclaimed albums, singles, and remixes with his Way Out West partner-in-crime, Jody Wisternoff, and remixing tracks for the likes of Lana Del Rey, he firmly established himself as a truly multi-faceted producer of top-quality dance music.

Having already graced the decks at every self-respecting super-club on the planet and made his name as a superstar DJ, the late Noughties saw Warren turn his hand to the business side of the music industry. Now, as the A&R of Bristol-based Hope Recordings, he spends his time seeking to hone and promote the next generation of club-smashing DJ and production talent; and, through the expansion of his label The Soundgarden into a globe-straddling international events and entertainment brand, set in stone his already firmly-established reputation as a giant of electronic, techno, and house music.

Flow Sessions 050 - Nick Warren

"Mayan Warrior once again blew minds at Burning Man. Big sound, big lasers. I got to plug in my USB’s on Monday night and had a great time. Set link in bio.

People take it almost for granted but it’s such a technical and logistical challenge to run an artcar in the desert.

Festival grade tech - generators, PA, lighting etc - has to fit inside a tiny bus and kept running for a week. Overheating is the main danger, mechanical wear and tear due to dust and vibration is substantial. Generators need constant refueling. Easier said than done when the fuel truck does not show up due to sandstorms.

Then you need a bunch of security to keep people from being run over or falling off the artcar. The chaos these crews have to manage is substantial.

It takes a village. 🙏🏽❤️"

“When the sun sets over the playa, the freaks come out to play. For this occasion, as is tradition, DISTRIKT and Robot Heart joined forces and tied up their sound systems for one of my favorite parties I have yet witnessed at Burning Man. Something special happened that day. Playa magic.”

For pretty much the whole year I’m either headed towards or away from Burning Man. 

Each year out there there’s this moment in space and time where I feel perfectly balanced between the two. It’s a moment where time stands still, just for a second. 

That moment is when the first ember of the day’s sun peaks over the mountain top to begin its journey once more. 

I try to find a piece of music to express the feeling of stillness and presence I get.  This year the sun was kind enough to arrive 1 hour 28 minutes and 40 seconds into this mix. I was in awe. I’m still in awe.

Some of the magic of the playa for me is where the nature blends with boundless creativity. Where love meets wonder and we get to laugh, dance and play. Add a dash of music for good measure and, for a moment, that magic catches its breath to take it all in, and stands still.

2024 was one of my favorite years ever. Thank you to all you artists and lovers, cooks and cuddlers. To all those who toil for months before and after to make it happen and to anyone who gave anything to another. You’re all amazing. I’m currently headed back towards (or is it away from) that moment once more.

A Night of Sand and Sound – Burning Man 2024

Burning Man is never about predictability—it’s about embracing the chaos and letting the dust write its own story.

Arodes and I were set to play a special back-to-back DJ set high above Black Rock City, floating in a hot air balloon, watching the neon veins of the desert pulse beneath us. But the desert had other plans. The wind howled, the storm rolled in, and our aerial stage became impossible.

On the campground, just in front of The Man, a different kind of stage awaited. Vintage Culture had already successfully gathered a nice crowd, a resilient tribe of dust-covered dancers who refused to let the storm dampen their spirits. Arodes and I eventually stepped up, feeding off their energy, turning uncertainty into rhythm, and letting the music cut through the swirling sand.

It was one of those nights where the connection felt deeper, where the music wasn’t just heard—it was felt. A true Burning Man moment.

This mixtape captures the energy of that night—the spontaneity, the rawness, the beauty of letting go and letting the music lead the way.

Hope you’ll enjoy it!

Hello angels,

It has been too long and we still have some incredible masterpieces from Butterflies and before to upload. In comes our amazing star on the rising Qussay, the most beautiful soul and such a STRONG presence on the Babylon stage!

His closing set of the Butterfly weekend was nothing short of LEGENDARY! The vibe was absurd. It was emotional, it was overwhelmingly beautiful and simply the perfect way to end two perfect days.

We can not wait until this magical man comes back to Babylon for more!

Hi everyone,

I was devastated when I got the news that the complete Memento Festival, and thus my gig, had been cancelled.
But the set I had prepared kept playing in my mind—I just couldn’t let it go.
So I decided to mix it anyway and share it with you all.

This one’s for everyone who was looking forward to the moment as much as I was.
I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed crafting it.

Please like, comment, and share if it resonates with you.

Much love,

Ardy Vee

“Animal Lust – Tribal Instincts” is a primal dance ritual reimagined for Gen Z nightlife. Inspired by the power and sensuality of wild animals, the album fuses Afrohouse drums, techno grooves, and cinematic orchestral textures into a hypnotic club experience. Each track channels the spirit of a predator or a sacred beast, turning the dancefloor into a jungle of lust, ecstasy, and tribal energy. A sonic tribute to instinct, passion, and the erotic wilderness within us all.
