About Me

The Digital Raccoons Live family, comprises of the mix maestro DJ Nicky G (Nick Gulino), Digital Fiend Richard Pike, Sultry Songstress Yasmine Dia (Abeydeera), Bass Banging Senore Will Brown and the beat boy of old school percussion. The tip that sets the Raccoons apart from the rest is the introduction of computers, midi sequences and samplers that enable the music to be produced on the spot making the Digital Raccoons Live in all senses of the word! Producing a new sound that is fresh, sexy and intoxicating.The Digital Raccoons have recently released their single The Master Which debuted on the Aria Club Charts. For which Electronica producer Darren Robinson was a co writter.Nicky G has been working the decks for over ten years, playing boutique venues spanning through Europe as well as well loved Melbourne clubs Milk Bar, Redheads, Prince, Seven and Motel. He has played outdoor festivals such as Summerdaze, Earthcore and Kiss My Grass and is a current resident on Saturday nights at Alumbra.Nicky G has been studio bound for the past five years writing and producing his own tracks.Richard Pike has been a studio fiend for over ten years, writing and producing electronica, crossing into a variety of styles such as dance, breaks and down tempo. Richard has collaborated with many of Melbournes finest and has a strong involvement in sound production.Yasmine Dia was one of the first live vocalists in the Melbourne house arena, playing live with The Booty Project at 161, The Saint, Seven and TriBeca.

Yasmine has been writing music since she was fourteen years of age and began performing professionally at the age of seventeen. Since Australian Idol she has come back to her house roots and is determined to spread her vocal flava through house clubs worldwide.Will Brown is one of the few true rock musicians to make a smooth transition over to electronica music. He is an accomplished Guitar and Bass player who has played with members of Pseudo Echo, Chocolate Starfish and Kids in the Kitchen just to name a few.
