GLOBAL UNDERGROUND DJ - 001: NIC FANCIULLI

RELEASED: APRIL 27^TH 2009

***“Brilliant – Love it”*** Laurent Garnier

The ever pioneering Global Underground is proud to present its brand new 'Global Underground DJ Series'. This new sonic adventure is all about putting the power in the hands of the DJ to take the listener on a complete introspective musical journey across 2 discs. The DJ is given free reign to compile 2 mixes spanning their influences and heroes whilst putting their own inimitable take on it. To spearhead the new series Global Undergound has selected the Grammy nominated talent of Nic Fanciulli.

GU founder Andy Horsfield explains more "I’m so excited about this new series for GU, I feel now is the time for us to give world class DJs like Nic the opportunity to really show the world how amazing they are.  I picked Nic to launch this series for us as he is the one DJ who has consistently impressed me every time I've seen him play, be it at Space in Ibiza or WMC in Miami, Nic always delivers he is hands down a truly amazing DJ"

Nic comments “Most people my age grew up with the Global underground series, so to be asked to compile this album is an honor, especially as it’s the start of a new concept.”

Nic has proved his worth time and again with numerous successful projects, his studio collaborations with Andy Chatterley (in the form of The Buick Project and Skylark) even gained a Grammy nomination for their remix of Tiefschwarz’s ‘Damage’ featuring Tracey Thorn on vocals. His new residency at club du jour matter has been a sell out and he continues to write music under his own name as well tour the globe constantly.

Global Underground’s impact over the last 2 decades has been phenomenal. synonymous with some of the most collectable and revered compilations ever made including Sasha’s ‘Ibiza’ and ‘San Francisco’ releases, Paul Oakenfold’s ‘Oslo’, Darren Emerson’s ‘Singapore’ to Tony De Vit’s ‘Tel Aviv’ and ‘Tokyo’ follow up, it reads like a who’s who of electronica’s icons.

GU is also the creator of endless unforgettable dance music moments in time.  With the pre-millennium hickjacking of an entire Channel 4 film crew for days in Ibiza to the GU Love Parade float in Berlin packed with party people, TV crews, a freshly hitched Bride and Groom and Danny Tenaglia; leading to the more civilised but almost impossible task of “breaking” America with the Global Underground name and going on to become one of the biggest selling album series within its field.

No sign of slowing down Global Underground is vital as ever in 2009 as Nic presents an outstanding, eclectic mix spanning stunning ambient, dubstep, house and techno. No doubt more of those unforgettable moments will be created with the launch of the new series; let’s just hope no film crews get kidnapped this time…
