New City Sound History
Bristol based New City Sound is a coalition of the South West's finest DJs, brought together by a passion for quality music.
NCS has played across the UK, overseas, and appeared at the likes of Cafe Del Mar, Cafe Savannah, Mambo, Miss Moneypennys, Slinky, Secret Garden, Coco, MTV, Pacha, Ministry of Sound, Syndicate, Saltwater, Star Radio, Galaxy Radio and Soul Satellite....to name but a few, as well as private functions, fashion shows, product promotion and drink launches.
Throughout each month the NCS team play in clubs, bars, at private functions and on the radio to countless thousands across the world.
In late 2005 Dan spotted one of Matt's events, picked up the 'phone and sent over a first class demo. An instant friendship and business association followed. Matt and Dan laid the foundations for NCS throughout 2006, working every spare moment to put a vision in motion. In a tough first year Dan rarely missed a gig and that remains true still. Dan has gained a reputation as one of West's best DJs, promoters and producers. His early ventures into production look very promising indeed. Matt and Dan are equal business partners at New City Sound and New City Sound Recordings (NCSR), the newly launched NCS record label. Credit also goes to Dan for setting up our My Space page www.myspace.com/newcitysound
Also in late 2005, Matt was teaching at The DJ Academy in Bristol. Andy Mayanrd was a determined student and wanted to become involved with NCS from the outset. He has played a fundamental role since, putting in a great deal of effort to help achieve individual and collective goals.
Our youngest member is Will Clarke. At just 20, he has achieved more than most already, graduating from the DJ Academy at 14, playing some of the UK's best venues and spending every summer season delivering his music on The White Isle at the likes of Kanya and Eden. Will plays, promotes and produces in his own right, for NCS and for his own record label Stylus Recordings. Remembering his talent from the Academy, Matt asked Will to become involved with NCS from the start.
Simon Lloyd is well repected on the local credible music scene and became involved after asking NCS to be a part of his successful three year residency at Severnshed in Bristol in late 2008/early 2009. Simon has over 20 years experience DJing and his presence has been a great asset to NCS, helping to maintain our bespoke status by introducing us to more of Bristol's most up market venues.
Last but not least, NCS has just taken on board two new members, James Millen and Corinne Houlihan. Both recent graduates of the DJ Academy and with an ear for some of the finest music, we are sure they will be great assets. Check out their individual pages for more detail.
Although we are an immensely friendly bunch, professionalism comes first. If you think you have got what it takes to contribute to and be a part of our success, please introduce yourself through this site, or at one of our nights.
It is testimony to NCS that, in one of the UK's most forward thinking and competitive regions musically, we are firmly on the map. International DJ Magazine has listed us at number one in their Essential Nights Out guide for Wales and South West England, and we are attracting the highest calibre of guests, such as Joey Negro, Soul Central, Grant Nelson, The Shapeshifters, Toolroom Records, Danny Rampling, Kklass and Junior Jack & Kid Creme. We do not put on large events with great frequency though given that we are booked most weekends. It means that when we do, however, they are special.
If you would like to book NCS, please get in touch. We are able to cover most bookings and provide the right balance of music style and age. We are happy to discuss guest, residency, collaboration, tour and private function work. Please note that if you book an NCS DJ direct and not as part of NCS, any legal relations exist between you and the DJ only and NOT between you and NCS. An Engagement Contract is provided for all bookings with NCS, protecting both parties. There are NO additional agency fees to be paid by booking through NCS. Please contact Matt or Dan to discuss your requirements.
