Get your own playlist at snapdrive.net!Nicole Maiden has been an avid fan of all progressive dance music since the late 80's early 90's.She was heavily influenced by all the best undergound techno and house djs and live acts who played regularly at "the Orbit" club in Morley throughout the 90's (Detroit djs, Dave Clarke,CJ Bolland,Joey Beltram, Sven Väth, Hardfloor,etc.),visiting the club whenever possible from 93 onwards,until it closed a few years ago.   Nicole started then djing in local venues in Liverpool bars, small clubs and underground house parties regularly between 96 and 99. She also played alot at outdoor festivals and parties at this time and experienced mixing with and helping different sound crews, who organised events in the UK.In 1999 she started on a more professional level, playing in the Marcus Garvey centre in Nottingham supporting Ade Fenton,after working in Liverpool's underground club Voodoo for a year or so,and playing alot of underground house parties etc.     After 2000 with a baby son on the scene she continued to dj in Liverpool but started experimenting with lots of different styles ; such as breaks, hip hop, more dub,as well as house techno still etc, sampling live loops,scratching,and aquiring a faster technique.. She also started looking at the production side of things.   Now working on production skills and some vocal to expand the possibilities for future work,Nicole is collaborating with different artists to start to bring this to a reality.   She also plays hand drums, teaching herself djembe and to a lesser extent congas from 2001 onwards. This has increased her djing skills too,as well as production,programming etc.   She has always been interested in music and playing with vinyls ever since she was a kid, having played lots of different instruments from keyboard to percussions.   At 34, Nicole Maiden has now a lot of experience. She knows how to play a wide range of different styles, from melodic techno to underground house,often characterised by tunes which induce emotion, especially the electro influence in different types of house or techno. She knows how a crowd will react and what vinyls she should play to get people rockin on the dancefloor all night.for dates check www.myspace.com/nicolemaiden and mixes on air,on rotation on www.netgrooves.deClick this banner to go to POPscure show hosted by Convert ,every second sunday,12pm NYTI edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
