| News | A night in Ibiza with Nic Fanciulli Posted: 18 Aug 2008 10:31 PM CDT "Try the steak, it's superb here," says a beaming Nic Fanciulli, whilst dragging on a cigarette. We're sitting outside at a restaurant in Ibiza that overlooks a harbour full of millionaire's yachts, and despite the fact that in a couple of hours Nic will be spinning before the Chemical Brothers at the world famous Space nightclub, he seems surprisingly nonchalant. "The Chems are my heroes, so it's a bit strange to be warming up for them. "I am feeling pretty nervous but probably not half as nervous as the Chems, as they were booted off the decks 14 years ago at Space and they haven't been back since," he says with a grin. |

| News | James Zabiela’s debut Beatport chart Posted: 18 Aug 2008 11:48 AM CDT James Zabiela knows how to burn up a dancefloor. Lady killer by default with his boy-next-door good looks and down to earth demeanor - right next to his sublime DJ skills - this cat is one DJ who is enjoying more than his 15 minutes of unadulterated fame, and not without reason. Renowned knob twiddling tech-head and self-confessed fan of A-ha, the Cure and Morrissey [see for yourself what's on his iPhone ], James Zabiela has finally got a debut chart on Beatport, which seems to offer a little somethin' somethin' for everyone in terms of genres and mood. For starters, it includes Miles Dyson's 'Live in Mexico' right alongside Ladytron's 'Runaway' and later moves on to a Christian Smith & John Selway rework of Kevin Saunderson's classic 'Rock to the Beat'. But don't let me give it all away - check it after the break for yourself. Nasty! |
