Nick Nice & Wyatt Agard-Live @REBIRTH (Cardinal Bar-Madison, WI) 12.11.09
December 16, 2009 02:27 PM PST
Keeping the dancefloor warm in the cold, dark winter of Wisconsin. I invited my friend Wyatt to join me on the decks after one of the largest snowstorms in Madison's history. The result was a smoking hot mix of deep techy house with touches of electro, prog & club hits. Wyatt & I traded off thoughout the night and this is a 2.5 hour highlight from the main part of the night. I'm sure you'll all dig it! Featuring tracks/remixes by: Craig Smith, Zwicker, Dixon, Fred Everything, Gui Boratto, Dennis Ferrer, River Ocean, Chromeo, Kelis, Little Boots, TJR, Hardrive, Jesse Rose, Joey Beltram Dave Spoon & many more...

102 Minute Live Mix (233.5mb file/320k CBR) Nick Nice-Live@Maduro 11.15.09 (pt.1-early eclectic)
November 23, 2009 01:24 PM PST
Amazing cocktails, an incredible ever-changing beer selection from around the globe, fantastic cigars, friendly & knowledgeable mixologists, open-minded patrons & electic beats sum up my weekly Sunday Soirée @Maduro (117 E. Main St. Madison, WI). It's always my favorite wind down to my usually hectic weekends as I get to play pretty much whatever I'm feeling, have amazing drinks & smokey treats in a classic, beautiful atmosphere. In this day & age of fascist smoking bans & fear it feels like a trip back to a better place in time every week. Musically it's always a pleasure to be able to play stuff without any dancefloor pressure. It's always more about the overall listening experience. Rather than posting up another huge file I divided this set into 2 parts. This is the earlier part of the night which is much more on the eclectic side. Both parts actually make up the full set from this particular evening but the 2nd part is on the deep disco & house side of things so I decided to break it up so you can play it according to whatever vibe you're looking for. Maduro is one of Madison's many hidden treasures and it's coming up on it's 12th Anniversary celebration on Sunday January 3rd 2010 starting @8pm with yours truly providing the beats. Be sure to stop down if you're in Madison! Enjoy the mix....

Need a pumping dance party? This live mix should satisfy all your house, electro, techno, dubstep & slightly proggy desires. From another solid dance party at my weekly Friday residency, REBIRTH @ the Cardinal in Madison, Wisconsin. The crowd always seems to dance all night, literally right from the first beat of my first track, and this night was no exception. Great dancefloor energy all night and a bit more proggy than I usually play. Hope you all enjoy the set. Lots of new stuff, old favorites & surprises as well. Tracks/remixes by:
115 Minute LIVE Mix (401mb/320k CBR) Nick Nice-Cardinal Grand Re-Opening Party 10.9.09
October 10, 2009 07:59 AM PDT
Finally! It feels so good to have a proper weekly club night in my own hometown. It's been about 10 years since I've had a weekly night where I can spin pretty much what I want with an amazing dancefloor & kick-ass soundsystem. Needless to say the Cardinal remodel is beautiful & if you're ever in Madison you can now find me there every Friday night for my weekly Rebirth night. I was originally going to edit this down to a 1 or 2 hour portion of the night, but I'm not even sure if/when I've had a full dancefloor right from the first beat of the first song. So I figured if the absolutely amazing crowd could dance their asses off for 5 hours straight the whole set should be heard in it's entirety. Who cares if it's a huge file?! There's some serious dance music history from the past 30 years spread throughout my mix. It's all about connecting the dots between cutting edge dance music from the past, present & future.

Back with a portion of a set from my weekly Sunday Soirée @Maduro (117 E. Main St Madison,WI, USA). Always a great time on Sundays in one of the most perfect bars on earth. Amazing beers & libations...a fantastic staff & a wonderful open-minded crowd. More of a house party vibe than bar vibe. This set was from a perfect smoky summer evening. It's got a little bit of everything on it, a bit more on the chill/eclectic vibe.
Enjoy! 100 Minute Live Mix (230mb/320k) Nick Nice-Live@Majestic 9.5.09September 06, 2009 10:25 AM PDT
Back with a live mix from my opening set for the L.A. Riots show @Majestic Theatre in Madison,WI. It was a truly epic night with amazing dancefloor energy from start to finish. People were dancing, jumping and getting wild in a way I haven't seen in ages. Good vibes! No tracklist but there's stuff on there by: Aeroplane, The Ting Tings, Lee Mortimer, Crookers, Plastikman, Joey Negro, Ray Mang, Bob Sinclar & many more. Hope you all enjoy it! 2 Hour Live Mix (320k/274.4mb file) Nick NIce-Live@UW Memorial Union 6.18.09
June 25, 2009 03:48 PM PDT
The University of Wisconsin-Madison Memorial Union Terrace is seriously one of the best places on earth to be in the summertime. When the sun is setting on the lake, a great band or dj is playing and the beer is flowing freely, there's nothing quite like it. As a local & an alumni I've had way too many crazy times down there for many years. That being said every time I get booked there it always seems to get rained out. This year I got my set started a bit earlier than schedule and actually got to play a full set before the floodgates opened for Andy Butler (aka Hercules & Love Affair). I ended up playing a set of a lot of my all-time faves, summer classics and tracks that remind me of the Union. Hope you enjoy the mix. All part of an awesome Summer '09 thus far...

A unique mix for kids that adults will enjoy too. So in addition to dj'ing a ton I have been babysitting my 2 nieces quite a bit. They're 2 1/2 and 1 year old and after hearing Barney's annoying drivel one time too many I decided to take action. I put together an odd selection of music and dialogue from my childhood as well as things that were just outright bizarre from well before my time. I wanted to make something that children would enjoy but adults would dig as well either from the irony or grooviness of the songs.From Johnny Cash with Oscar the Grouch to Mr. Rogers to the Pointer Sisters to Carole King to Helen Reddy to Bert & Ernie and lots of the Sesame Street crew. This selection has it all. If you have a kid I'm sure they'll dig it, my nieces loved it with the older one dancing around to many of the songs. And they now hate Barney! Frobble is a generic term for plastic bits and pieces of toys. It seemed perfect for all the musical scraps that I used to make this mix. It's by far the oddest mix I have put together ever.

Thundersnow! Ever elusive but frighteningly powerful when you experience it. Come to Wisconsin in the winter to find out how much fun Climate Fuck (formerly known as Global Warming) really is... In the meantime you can enjoy my banging mix of Thundersnow anthems. Made during an actual Thundersnowstorm. Mixed live on 2 turntables using Scratch Live. No computer edits. Just pure explosive mayhem! 88 Minute Live mix (121mb file/192k cbr) NICK NICE

113 Minute Live Mix (155mb/192k) French Invasion 1 (a side)
June 07, 2006 03:16 PM PDT
Vintage Mix from 1993! Many people have been asking me for some of my old mixtapes so I figured now was the time to start to share them before they deteriorate completely. This is a mix from 1993 when I was living in Paris and had just begun to dj at the infamous Queen club on the Champs-Elysées. It includes lots of the big anthems at the time like Gat Decor,Hardfloor, Nightcrawlers, Capricorn/20Hz, Transformation, Zero Gravity & more... This is taken from the original cassette tape. I made it with 1 turntable and my 4 track tape recorder (I didn't have a full dj setup back then and it wasn't even a Technics 1200). I did all the mixes from the 4 track onto 1 master tape so the sound quality is not so hot. And we won't even talk about some of the mixes!! But it's full of loads of fun memories nonetheless. 47 Minute Mix (128k/43mb) French Invasion 1 (b side)
June 07, 2006 03:30 PM PDT
Vintage mix from 1993! The b-side to a classic tape of mine. Includes tracks by Capella, Jaydee, Beyond, The Good Men, Dance 2 Trance, Polygon Window (Aphex Twin), Illuminate & more... As with the a side it's a vintage mix so the sound quality and mixes are a bit spotty. But the music is still fun! 46 Minute Mix (128k/42.7mb) Nick Nice-Cardinal 100 yr. Anniversary Party 8.8.08
August 20, 2008 03:53 PM PDT
The Cardinal Bar is a true Madison (Wisconsin) institution. The building was built back in 1908 as one of the last railroad hotels. The bar and building still retain most of the features from when it was originally built. And believe me, you can feel the ghosts from the old tavern on a regular basis in there. The tavern & restaurant became a dance club back in 1974 and have been the city's favorite place to dance pretty much since then. It's also consistently been ahead of the curve with introducing new musical styles to the public, well ahead of the mainstream. From disco, funk, latin, house, techno and beyond; people have always come there to expand their musical horizons. I've had many people been asking me to post this mix so here it is from start to finish. Going from current club hits to underground bangers to classics from the past. I hope you enjoy it. Cheers!
Includes tracks/remixes by: Snoop Dog, Madonna, Fake Blood, Crookers, Rihanna, Age of Love, New Order, Santogold, Sebastian, Usher, Daft Punk, Chew Fu, Human Resource, Aphex Twin, Dubfire, Plastikman and many, many more... 182 Minute Live Mix (209mb file/160k CBR) Nick Nice-Live @Superfly 4.5.1997
