| Nic Fanciulli takes on Toronto Posted: 09 May 2009 09:34 PM PDT Nic Fanciulli opens the heavy dark wood door of room 1511 in Toronto's Pantages hotel. "Ugh, you woke me up," he grunts, stroking his stomach. The messy man looks like a rotten blackberry on a pristine white plate. It's 12.59am. Nic's DJ set starts in one minute and he's still in his white boxer shorts. Luckily, Nic's touring partner KOS is already at the venue This Is London, holding the fortified booth. |
| Audio interview: Nic Fanciulli’s Global Underground ‘DJ 001’ mix CD Posted: 09 May 2009 02:32 PM PDT Nic Fanciulli sits in a busy diner in the centre of Toronto, Canada, on a gloomy, rainy Saturday morning. His eyes are lazy, as he sips on a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice surveying the cheese omelette in front of him. He pours a small puddle of maple syrup onto his plate. "Note to self. Maple syrup goes well with everything," he says with a smile. Last night was the second successful stop in a whirlwind North American tour that will see the British DJ doing 21 gigs in 32 days. In this audio interview conducted this morning at Fran's diner on 113 Bond Street, Toronto, the British DJ explains what it felt like to put together a mix for the world-renowned dance compilation label Global Underground and how he put the 'DJ 001' mix together in his studio. He also speaks about the impressive, wide-ranging tracklist for the compilation that is already garnering praise from critics and fans alike. "I spent six months doing preparation, working on records for the album, and then three days before I changed it all again as you normally do with compilations," he says. |

| Posted: 09 May 2009 04:00 AM PDT Every year the music industry flexes its muscles in the spring and fall to push out their higher selling full length albums in time for summer vacations and winter holidays. This spring is no different but it hasn’t gone without notice, at least for me, that the usual artist album rollout is of particularly high quality. |
| Posted: 07 May 2009 09:21 AM PDT The superstar DJ is dead. The superclub is defunct. The beat is still going. Nic Fanciulli lives in a post-superstar DJ world. He is part of a new generation of dance music jocks who have far more talent than they do luck. Fanciulli represents the second wave of globetrotting DJs who unlike their predecessors, work hard, get paid modestly, and do almost everything themselves. They've learnt from the mistakes of those who've spun before them. There is no sense of entitlement, there is no rampaging ego, there is only love and gratitude. |
