Nicky Dj aka Subtractor

..::: I T A L I A N O :::..
Nicky nasce a Milano il 15 Marzo 1986. Sin da piccolo ha sempre mostrato particolare interesse per la musica in tutte le sue sfumature e questo stretto interesse lo accompagnerÃ per tutto il corso della sua vita sino a portarlo a frequentare il corso di Scienze e Tecnologie della Comunicazione Musicale presso lâ€™UniversitÃ Statale di Milano.
Nei primi anni â€™90, quando ancora i CD non erano diffusi, si divertiva mixare le cassette con gli impianti stereo di casa.
La passione inizia a trovare sfogo nel â€™98, quando con i pochi mezzi a disposizione (PC, microfono e un programma con sample precaricati) crea la sua prima, semplicissima produzione che chiamerÃ "Feel the Sound".
Finalmente arriva il primo mixer, i primi 2 giradischi Gemini e le prime 2 casse attive. Le cose iniziano a prendere una piega diversa. Si iniziano a comprare i primi vinili, provando, sbagliando e riprovando ancora, giorno dopo giorno, ora dopo ora...
Nel 2003 diventa PR e fotografo per forum al Matrix di Coccaglio (BS); questa esperienza sarÃ molto utile per poter osservare da vicino le tecniche di mixaggio e i trucchi utilizzati dai grandi DJs.
Nel frattempo stringe una forte amicizia con Plastick, affermato MC della scena Techno-Elettronica in Italia, con il quale progetterÃ poi uno staff chiamato "GLOBAL PROJECT".
Successivamente Nicky ha avuto occasione di lavorare in diverse discoteche milanesi quali De Sade, Amnesia e Punta dellâ€™Est, poi al Matrix (BS), il Florida di Ghedi (BS), il Mazoom (BS), l lâ€™Adrenaline e lâ€™Exodus di Reggio Emilia e la Fortezza da Basso di Firenze.
I suoi set accompagnano la pista progressivamente, partendo da BPM piÃ¹ bassi salendo man mano verso sonoritÃ piÃ¹ "dure" e veloci, un "crossover elettronico".
Musicalmente anticonformista, suona sempre e solo ciÃ² che gli piace suonare, non badando alle classifiche e cercando invece sonoritÃ che possano essere apprezzate per la loro bellezza.
A fine 2006 nasce il suo alter ego "Subtractor", con il quale Nicky inizierÃ a spaziare attraverso sonoritÃ piÃ¹ dure, quali Jumpstyle, Hard-Jump, Hardstyle, Hardcore e Frenchcore. Questo nuovo personaggio sarÃ il suo volto "cattivo", nonchÃ¨ mezzo di espressione di nuove concezioni e sensazioni, frutto di un suo lato rimasto fino ad allora nascosto. Tutto questo viene manifestato attraverso nuove esperienze nel campo della produzione e DJ Set molto piÃ¹ spinti. Successivamente manterrÃ il nome di "Nicky Dj" per la Jumpstyle e l'Hardstyle, usando il nome "Subtractor" solo per i set e le produzioni Hardcore e Frenchcore.
Passa poco tempo e questo nuovo progetto riscuote molto successo, tanto che gli viene assegnato il ruolo di Resident Intro alle serate Dorian Gray e agli eventi Regiamania, con cui collaborerÃ per 2 stagioni, suonando in discoteche come l'Adrenaline (RE), l'ECU (RN), lo Chic (RN) e il Due di Cigliano (VC).
A fine 2007 viene contattato dalla Sonic Solution Entertainment (www.sonicsolution.it), affermata organizzazione di stampo Hardcore a livello mondiale e con essa Nicky inizierÃ una stretta collaborazione, al fine di introdurre e sviluppare il settore Hardstyle nei loro eventi.
Inizia cosÃ¬ una nuova stagione che vedrÃ Nicky nella posizione di Resident DJ nella nuova sala Hardstyle del Florida (BS), negli eventi a cadenza mensile della Sonic Solution, e che lo porterÃ anche in altre discoteche come il Codice a Barre (MI), l'Asia (BI), ancora l'ECU (RN), lo Chic (RN), il Babylon(RN), la Baia Imperiale (RN), l'Altromondo Studio's (RN) e il Number One (BS).
Nel Capodanno 2008 viene chiamato a suonare nella sala Hardstyle al Millennium, grandissimo party tenutosi al centro fieristico di Ancona.
Nel Marzo 2008 Nicky viene scelto come Resident Hardstyle DJ nelle Domeniche pomeriggio in Sala 2 al Number One, suonando anche all'evento di Pasqua dello stesso anno (After-T 12H).
Nell'Agosto 2008, grazie alla collaborazione con la Sonic Solution, partecipa come DJ al primo party ufficiale Q-DANCE (la piÃ¹ grande ed affermata organizzazione di musica Hard al mondo) in Italia, tenuto all'Altromondo Studio's di Rimini, apparendo per la prima volta sull'importante sito web olandese ww.qdance.it.
Successivamente verrÃ confermato come presenza fissa ai party Q-DANCE IN ITALY svolti in collaborazione con le migliori organizzazioni italiane.
Attualmente continua la collaborazione con la Sonic Solution e tutti i piÃ¹ importanti eventi Hard italiani.

Nicky was born in Milan on March 15, 1986. Since he was a child he always showed a keen interest in music, in all of its styles, interest that will be a constant thorough his life, causing him to attend the course of science and technologies of musical communication at the state university in Milan.
In the early '90s,when CDs weren't so ubiquitous, he enjoyed himself mixing tapes with his home Hi-Fi.
His passion begins to find a venue in '98, when with few equipments (PC, a mic and an off the shelf sampler) he produced his first, very basic track, "Feel The Sound".
Eventually he got his first mixer, 2 Gemini turntables and 2 drums, and things began to unfold. He started to buy vinyls, and to mix them, by way of trial and error, hour after hour, day after day....
In 2003 he became a PR, and photographer at the Matrix in Coccaglio (BS), this experience turns out to be very helpful, enabling him to watch first hand and up close, the mixing techniques and tricks, of big name jocks.
Meanwhile, he became a close friend of Plastick, a renowned MC in the Italian Electro-Techno scenario with whom he'll plan a staff, called "GLOBAL PROJECT".
Afterwards Nicky got a score of bookings in several discos in Milan, such as De Sade, Amnesia, and Punta dell'Est, Matrix (Brescia), Florida (Brescia), Mazoom (Brescia), Adrenaline and Exodus in Reggio Emilia and the Fortezza da Basso in Florence.
His DJ sets climb up in a steady way, starting with lower BPM and then gearing up towards harder and faster tempos, an electronic crossover.
As far as music goes, he's out of the main stream, he always plays what he likes more, blind to the charts, and looking instead for sounds and rhythms, that can be appreciated for all of their beauty.
At the end of 2006 his alter ego "Subtractor" saw the light, by means of it Nicky starts to spin harder sounds, such as Jumpstyle, Hard-Jump, Hardstyle, Hardcore and Frenchcore. This new character will be his tough face, as well as a way to bring out new feeling and thinking, part of an hidden side, kept private until now. All of this shows off in new productions and much harder DJ set. Then he will use the name "Nicky Dj" for Jumpstyle and Hardstyle and "Subtractor" only for Hardcore and Frenchcore productions and sets.
After a short time, this new project receives a lot of positive feedback, as much as he's given the Intro Resident DJ title on the Dorian Gray and Regiamania nights, nights in which he'll perform for two seasons, playing in clubs such as Adrenaline (Reggio Emilia), ECU (Rimini), Chic (Rimini) and Due (Vercelli).
In 2007 he received a call from Sonic Solution Entertainment, a world renowned Hardcore organization, and with it, Nicky will enhance a tight collaboration, in order to develop and promote the Hardstyle sound in all of its events.
A new season kicks off, seeing Nicky as Official Resident DJ in the new Hardstyle area of Florida Club (Brescia), in the Sonic Solution monthly parties, as well as in many other clubs, like Codice a Barre (Milan), Asia (Biella), ECU (Rimini), Altromondo Studioâ€™s (Rimini), Chic (Rimini, Babylon (Rimini), Baia Imperiale (Rimini) and Number One (Brescia).
On new year eve 2008, he's invited to play at the â€œMilleniumâ€, a huge party in the fairy area in S Ancona.
In March 2008, Nicky is given the title of Resident Hardstyle DJ in the Sunday afternoon parties at Number One Club, playing also on the special Easter party later in the month.
In August 2008, thank to his collaboration with the Sonic Solution, end up playing at the first official Q-Dance party (the biggest and most famous harder styles music organization in the world) in Italy, held at the Altromondo Studioâ€™s in Rimini and his name is displayed for the first time on the renowned website ww.qdance.it.
After this, he will be confirmed as resident DJ for all next Q-DANCE IN ITALY parties, in collaboration with the biggest italian organizations.
Meanwhile, he keeps working with Sonic Solution and all the main Italian harder styles parties.

COONE - WORDS FROM THE GANG
"I remember the day I first heard electronic music. I knew back then this illegal computer sound was gonna be my call. My heart got hooked on four by four beats when house took this journey with Jack Chicago and acid house. Now my heart is hooked forever. I donâ€™t care if itâ€™s French-tek, hardstyle, hardcore, old school or jump. I donâ€™t understand people who are satisfied with ordinary pop music; they just listen to whatever radio stations decide they should like. Followed by an overkill of ring-tone commercials meant for kids. And my God, they like it! Some people even think that house clubs are for weirdos only. Maybe theyâ€™re right, maybe we are weird. Maybe this music is weird, and maybe the clubs are overrated. But weâ€™re in this together. If youâ€™re in the scene, being a DJ seems like a natural path to follow. Ha, â€˜n back in the days, DJâ€™s were weird people who liked music in a weird way. Back then you had to be a nerd to become a DJ. Now a days, everybody wants to be a DJ. Now a days, EVERYBODY wants to be that nerd! It sickens me, I hate those smart-asses who think DJ is an easy way to get laid.
Well, get a life! If youâ€™re not in it for the love of the music, would you please fuck off!"
SHOWTEK - FTS
"This is what I love, and can't stop lovin'. Get wasted at parties, from 9 till 7 in the morning. I live for the music, rolling blunts, feelin' high, gettin' loaded - or take some pills and go to La La Land. Spendin' all my money on dope and extreme high price tickets. But in the end, it's all worth it. I like to live in my own world. Fuck regular life! Fuck the '9-to-5' job! I'm totally enjoyin' every moment, every hour, every minute. Thats what I do on fridays and saturdays. Why should I take life so seriously? I just wanna do what I like to do! Be far from reality, 'cause I can't stand society! It's my own world, I just wanna hear the music. I think the whole system fucking sucks. Everybody's workin' their fucking ass up during the week, gettin' totally fucking stressed out - So what's wrong, and what's right?
I live for the weekend. I live for hardstyles. I live for hardstyle baby!
Come on! Let's go!"
DJ OUTBLAST & KORSAKOFF - UNLEASH THE BEAST
"More than a decade passed...more than a decade of the most powerful music force known to man. Since the beginning of the hardcore era we encountered several evil forces trying to destroy what we call our life...after the great war the world thought hardcore died and vanished forever. But there is an old legend that tells us it is impossible to destroy the core and try to do so will unleash a beast more powerful than the world has ever seen! The beast will form a hardcore army and will call itself its master! This is the moment all hardcore soldiers have been waiting for. The master of hardcore will show the world the true hardcore sound! We will not vanish! We will not die!"
