Biography
Nick
Harvey, a DJ/producer/audio engineer from
Zurich
,
Switzerland
who recently created his own music label, Nick Harvey Music, is on the
verge of breaking out of the pack of his peers. This was not something
that happened overnight however but an evolution with an eye towards the
future.
Harvey
began his career as a DJ in 1995, playing some of the largest gay
parties in his Country, including the Black Party in
Zurich
and True Colors in
Berne
. As someone that pushes himself,
Harvey
has began traveling across Europe,
including regular bookings at Delicious in
Vienna
and NY Club in Munich.
Harvey
came of age listening to and enjoying techno and
hardcore but feels most comfortable surrounding himself in the sounds of
New York
’s tribal rhythms. With a
degree in audio engineering he set out to make the music that he loved
so much – Stomping tribal drums, massive build-ups, beautiful diva
anthems and beats meant for the runways of packed dance floors.
Indeed,
Harvey has spent several years fine tuning his craft and sound and
credits several producers and DJ’s as inspirations including, Peter
Rauhofer (U.S.) and DJ Escape (U.S.). But it was one
New York
legend that
Harvey
really connected to and eventually, began a mentoring relationship with:
DJ/producer Junior Vasquez. After continuing this association for a
three year period, the two officially began working together on several
projects in 2008. With Harvey on board as Vasquez’s audio engineer,
the pair crafted remixes for top acts such as Britney Spears (“Womanizer”,
“Circus” and “If You Seek Amy”) and, Pink (“Please Don’t
Leave Me” and “Sober”).
Harvey
has also impacted in the U.S. with remix
productions of his own for several artists, including “Never,”
a number one hit for internationally known dance diva Kristine W., and
“Drop a House ‘09” by DJ DeMarko ft. Heather Leigh West which was
released on Tommyboy Silver Label in the U.S. Add to that the list of
exclusive mixes crafted for Junior Vazquez’s dance floor – including
Harvey’s update of Diana Ross’ “Take Me Higher” which still has
crowds
erupting in cheers a year after Vasquez debuted it – and
you have an extensive catalogue of work.
Nick
Harvey Music was the next logical step in
Harvey
’s career. It is
Harvey
’s way to build upon his early successes and experiences in the music
industry; his way of taking matters into his own hands. Nick Harvey
Music will release songs that may have never gotten heard due to the
climate in the music industry today and hire remixers from across the
globe to create its rhythmic soundscape. The first major signing and
release was “Struck by Luv” by Lectroluv ft. Alvaughn Jackson.
With
his defining sound and label in place, Nick Harvey is ready to make his
mark across the globe and steer the tribal sounds and anthems of
New York
towards the future. Join the ride.
