PERCEPTIONS
When: Every second and fourth Monday of the month from 3PM EST - 6PM
Where: [url]www.protonradio.com[/url]
Last week we had close to [b]900[/b] listeners tuning into Perceptions - what a great audience for any dj or producer to get further exposure from - especially since Proton Radio is globally recognized. Mixes last week from upcoming Rise-Boston ressie Mike Swells, myself and Dres garnered lots of excellent feedback, and we're just getting started. Featured guests already on Perceptions these last few months include: [b]Mr.C, Francis Harris, Asad Rizvi, Steve Porter and Low End Specialists.[/b]
On March 14th we are extremely excited to have[b] Nathan Coles (Wiggle)[/b]on Perceptions. With the Wiggle Tour going strong featuring Nathan, Terry Francis and Eddie Richards we wanted to make sure everyone marks their calendar to hopefully get a little glimpse into the devastation that the Wiggle Tour and Nathan have been dropping throughout the states.
[u]Here is a bit about Nathan[/u]:
Born in London, Nathan was weaned on a diet of Rare Groove, Dub, Soul and Electro. Like many free-spirited children of the Acid House revolution, Nathan had his musical epiphany at such seminal clubs as Spectrum at Heaven and the Sunrise parties in the late 80s, where the metronomic thud of the first generation of House music entranced a whole generation.
The biggest musical movement since Rock n Roll was born and Nathan was there at the very beginning, cocked and loaded, ready to make his mark. Armed with a 10000 watt grin, charm by the bucket load, and almost superhuman reserves of stamina, Nathan bumped and hustled his way into the hot, humid netherworld of the Warehouse party scene and, in alliance with Mr C launched the legendary Release parties.
These parties were hot tickets, the huge success of which could only add further luster to Nathan?s rapidly burgeoning reputation as an underground House DJ of great talent. It was in 1994 however that Nathan really cemented his lofty position in House Musics Hall of Fame when he and Terry Francis launched the legendary Wiggle parties, and in the process, gave birth to musical movement now known as Tech-House.
Arguably the best Tech-House party of them all, Wiggles far-reaching reputation as the party to end all parties was finally officially recognized when it was nominated for Best Underground Club at the Muzik Magazine/SAS awards in 1998.
In this respect Nathan can justifiably be called a musical pioneer, having spent the last 15 years as a kind of roving ambassador of Tech-House, laying down rapturously-received sets of loose-limbed, funk-fuelled House in an array of fantastic venues all over the world, such as:
D Edge and Lov E (Sao Paulo), SpiritSound (Play del Carmen, Mexico), The Milkwegg (Amsterdam), OfCorso (Rotterdam), Bora Bora, Underground & Space (Ibiza), The Zouk Club (Singapore) Aria (Montreal), Folis Pigalle & The Rex (Paris), Roxy & Summer Of Love (Czech Republic), Stalker (Amsterdam), The Bomb (Nottingham) The End, Turnmills (London) as well as holding down his residency at FABRIC in London where he never ceases to raise the temperature to boiling point.
In light of his Djing reputation it is of no great surprise therefore that Nathan has also acquired a reputation as an excellent producer as well.
Over the last 10 years he has built up an essential portfolio of House and Breaks releases on an array of imprints such as Loaded, Visitor, Plank, 10 Kilo, Big Chief and Household Recordings, picking up critical plaudits along the way such as Essential Release Of The Month in Muzik magazine for his two Get Fucked albums.
He has worked with the best as well including such production luminaries as Nils Hess (as Get Fucked), Matthew B (Mashupheadz), Asad Rizvi (Two Right Wrongans) and Terry Francis (The Delinquents/Housey Doingz).
