Nick Jay / Lost Knowledge

About Me

Nick maintained a healthy obsession for music from an early age, first immersing himself in Commercial dance Music in 1992, moving onto Trance in 1997; but it was in 2005 he found his true calling playing Funky & Electro House. Using Syke’n’Sugarstarr, Freemasons, Raul Rincon and many other influences as inspiration, Nick embarked on a professional DJ and production career and has never looked back.
Having DJed since 1994 and produced since 2004, Nick's biggest success came in 2006 in the form of his crossover hit "I Don’t Give a Damn", featuring vocals by Ray Isaac, which was signed and released by ‘Hussle Recordings / Ministry of Sound’ and peaked at number 11 on the Australian Aria Club Charts, and his follow up single ‘Pour it On’, featuring the vocal talents of Peter Millwood Peaked at number 8.
Over the years Nick has played in some of the most popular clubs throughout Australia, alongside the best DJs on the scene.
His biggest highlights were winning the Best DJ award in the year 2000, presented by Red Bull, when he was playing in Wellington, New Zealand, for 3 years, and also, playing alongside some of the biggest names in trance; Armin Van Buuren, John 00 Flemming & Scott Bond at Gatecrasher & God’s Kitchen.
As well as turning his magic hands to remixing, Nick has remixed for Syke’n’Sugarstarr, Deni Hines, Melissa Tkautz, Headstrong & Andrea Britton + many more, and recently lent his remix touch to Zach's - 'Take Me To Your Heart'.
