External Review(s)

Like so many Superstar DJs, Nick Warren's love affair with all things dance started in the late '80s. By the early '90s he was spinning regularly at Bristol club Vision. It was here that fellow Bristolians Massive Attack spotted Nick's potential. Daddy G, Mushroom and 3D promptly persuaded Nick to become their support DJ and they whisked him off for a tour in America. As the official Massive Attack DJ, Nick was soon making inroads into the studio, even joining the Massive remixing team at one stage. In 1994, Nick joined up with another Bristolian producer, Jody Wisternoff to form Way Out West. Their first single, the progressive house smash, Ajare made an impact on the dancefloors, but not on the charts. This was to change, three years later, when it was re-released on Deconstruction. Way Out West finally broke into the charts, as well as the nation's consciousness. After their second single, The Gift, which led to performances on Top of The Pops, WOW released their seminal debut album, Blue, which was highly acclaimed for it's diverse use of influences. Nick's deejaying had by now well and truly taken off, a residency at Scouse House club Cream was procured and bookings in Singapore, Australia and Eastern Europe flooded in. Nick's international gigs have been well documented, with four of them being committed to CD by those cheeky Geordies at Global Underground. The most recent of which has had Nick Warren wearing clogs, hanging out at windmills and rolling fat ones, recorded, as it was, in Amsterdam. Way Out West project are also nearing completion with the new single The Fall due out on Deconstruction at the end of November and an album is scheduled for early next year.

Personal Commentary
Ajare is an absolute timeless dance classic...I will own this on vinyl one day...

Way out west has just released a new album called Intensify which shows just how much they have grown in the past few years. They have had countless hits so far including tracks like Domination, Blue, The Fall, and Mindcircus. Stay tuned for more tracks.
