Nick Bridges is widely regarded as one of the most technically-gifted DJs in the UK and one half of chart-topping production duo Bodyrox: a DJ/producer who, in 2011, is currently enjoying his most successful year to date.
In partnership with Jon Pearn under the Bodyrox alias, Nick produced one of the ‘biggest hits in electronic dance music’ [Pete Tong] in 2006 in the form of ‘Yeah Yeah’; a massive electro workout which took the WMC by storm picking up early support from Pete Tong, Judge Jules, Fergie, Dave Pearce, Zane Lowe, Jo Whiley, Annie Mac, Edith Bowman, Annie Nightingale, Sarah Cox and Trophy Twins on BBC Radio One alone and went on to ‘fill every record box under the sun’ [Pete Tong].
Supplemented by a unique vocal from Luciana, a killer remix package and a highly acclaimed controversial video, ‘Yeah Yeah’ became the huge international club anthem which kick started the global ‘Nu Rave’ phenomenon. On its official release in October 2006, ‘Yeah Yeah’ debuted at 2 in the UK Top 40 and remained in the Top 10 for several weeks and is still heavily supported on national radio. [Radio One Playlist No.1, Cool Cuts No.1, Shazam Tag Chart No.1, Beatport Download Chart No.1, The Box Playlist No.1].
In 2007, riding a wave of massive success, Bodyrox were nominated for an Ivor Novello - one of the music industries most prestigious awards; and went on to top both Music Week’s Cool Cuts and the DMC Buzz Chart again with their next three singles, ‘Sound of Eden’ [Music Week Upfront Club Chart No.1, Music Week Pop Tip Chart No.2, DMC Club Chart No.1, DMC Mainstream No.1, Galaxy Chart Show on MTV Dance No.1], ‘What Planet You On’ [BBC Radio One Dance Singles Chart No.1] and 'Brave New World' receiving recognition at the International Dance Music Awards and MTV’s Video Music Awards.
Recently tagged a ‘Supergroup’ by Pete Tong during their debut on Radio One’s Essential Mix, Bodyrox are currently one of the top three most viewed ‘electro bands’ in the World with over 1.7 million views on Myspace alone.
While the global success of ‘Yeah Yeah’ has seen Nick’s profile rise exponentially, it must be recognized that he’s been a mainstay on the international DJ scene for many years and is widely regarded as one of the most technically gifted young DJ’s in the World - with previous residencies at Fabric London [DJ Magazines No.1 Club in the World] for DTPM, Amnesia Ibiza for Cream/Glasshouse and at Ministry of Sound London – a residency that saw Nick mix five compilations throughout a long-standing association with the brand that continues today.
Fast forward to 2011, having recently announced details of the highly anticipated Bodyrox album and exciting new live show, Nick is still at the top of his game with a number of solo productions widely supported by some of the biggest names in the industry.
