Nick Bike Interview

Our dear Nick Bike has been stirring up our coastal waters of Vancouver in all the right places as of late. He’s been with us Schitz for an age to boot. So we thought it best to catch up with the hombre and get some of his words and experience out to you this fine Sunday afternoon. Click play and read on.
[soundcloud url=”http://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/62304110″ iframe=”true” /]
Hey man, how are you? Give us an intro.
Real good. Going to be 23 in February and currently enjoying my new life in Vancouver.
What brought you over to the opposite coast? Was it our ravenous mountain scape?
University life was done in PEI so it was time for change. I’ve
visited Vancouver several times and loved it. No regrets about the
move.
Since your arrival to Vancouver you have shared the bill with a few
big name’s, Ladyhawke & Viceroy to name a couple. Who has been your
personal highlight to share booth / bill with?
I’ve played with Skratch Bastid and Grandtheft a wack of times now – those kind of shows don’t get old. Good individuals to have a conversation with.
How long have you been DJing and producing and which came first?
DJing was first. Been at it for over 4 years now. Haven’t really been
“producing” – let’s just call it being busy ha.
How did you start learning about producing electronic music?
A mix of personal trial and error and a few tutorials on the internet. After I nailed some of the basics I started trying to build things by sampling pieces of other tracks with cool sounds and hits. My friend Sp00nfed taught me a bunch while we were in the process of building our EP.
Tell us a bit about your studio, where and what is it comprised of?
My ‘studio’ is right in my home. Can’t be super loud but my Techs and
DJM800 rest there – along with a microkorg, trigger-finger midi pad,
soundcard, and my Mac running Live 8.
How is your time spent these days? Between being busy and DJing.
I spent a good month on the most recent mix (Bicycle Breaks 1) – this past week I was trying to gather myself for PEI and Halifax. I spend a ton of time listening to new and old music, trying to find the good shit. Just trying to keep up on music alone is a full time job. I make edits for my sets quite often. Usually once a week I trip down to the record store for a dig.
What would you say YOUR style is?
I don’t know, but whatever it is, it’s got to be funky.
How have you gone about developing a sound that you felt comfortable calling your own?
Can’t say I’ve really got to a point where I can call a specific sound
“my style”. Another 5-10 years and maybe my answer will be different.
Would you say DJ’s style is determined by the genre he or she plays?
Perhaps, but style can also be found by the way a DJ mixes, their
overall flow, crowd interaction, or specific skills or techniques that
stand out.
Your an intelligent gent. What do yo think you’d be doing had you
not become a jockey of the discs?
I still work a real job at the hospital, and I have my business degree
– so something in either of those 2 most likely.
Word up is your a dope scratcher. Can you speak to that?
Haha I will reserve the term ‘dope’ for dudes like Hedspin, Bastid,
and Gaff. I’m still very much a soldier in training.
What is Remix 86?
Remix86 is a music blog based out of Newfoundland – mostly focusing on house, disco, good dance vibes, etc. A good place to keep up on that kind of stuff and provides some light reading and feedback.
Your up on your web presence. Where can people keep up with you?
Facebook, Twitter, and Soundcloud are all frequently updated. These
can be tapped into on my website – www.djnickbike.com

Every once and a while something really good lands in your inbox and get’s you thanking whatever it is you give thanks to for free music and simitaniously blessing the internet. As was the case last week when 95 Royale hit us up.
He’s a young cat making good noise. Fill your earballs and get aquatinted ::
[soundcloud url=”http://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/65474598″ iframe=”true” /]
Thanks for taking the time. Much appreciated.
I’ve been looking around and there isn’t much info on you at the moment. You’ve got a Beatport account, appearances here and there on Youtube and blogs but that’s about it. Oh! and a gmail.
Haha I made that Beatport account because I thought I might be able to track sales from records but turns out you cannot.
How old are you?
17 and just finishing off school in Brisbane.
Just finished off highschool? Or..
Still in highschool as we speak but next year I’ll be out. Got about 3 or 4 weeks to go.
Are you just a studio artist? Do you DJ and play out at all?
Hmm, I always loved doing mashups and promoting them around the internet. Although I can, I don’t DJ at all at the moment, once I hit 18 I’m to join the arcade creative of Brisbane who know a place or two to DJ ; )
On that note, what are you producing with?
I use Ableton along with a half decent pair of headphones. Just love the fact that nowadays anybody can produce a reasonably sounding song with only a small laptop.
How long have you been making music and what got you started?
Oh I’ve loved house music ever since I was 13, couldn’t get enough of that filtered 80′s/90′s sound but never knew what it was called. When I hit 16 I found french house and shortly after I found the super secret ingredient used, sampling.
What resources did you use to learn in the beginning? Manuals, video tutorials, schooling or trial error?
At the start I was making mashups with virtual Dj, that helped me a lot with basic beatmatching and things just being in tune. Over this phase I had developed a small knowledge of DAW’s but didn’t know too much of how to use them. ‘Ableton Live’ was the most familiar one of the lot so I took to that one. I asked around the suburb and found a guy who knew his shit when it came to ableton so I paid for some tutoring. Later he introduced me to sampling and we began work from there. After about 8 or so sessions I had a solid grip of what I wanted to make and how to make it.
How much has your music developed since you started? Were you always making French House and Disco?
I went to an Ableton tutor planning to make some electro tunes but he showed me french house and I’d always loved it, I could just never ask anybody how to classify that 80′s sounding, but modern, song. But yeah I used to give mashups a crack. The first french house I made I never released because it was so bad, eventually I got the hang of it after finding a nice sample for ‘Now That’s Good’, sending it to Nick Redux and collaborating with him. 4Disco took a like to it and released it for me.
You have a great ear and sense of sound. Who have been the artists that you listened to giving you the inspiration to delve into French House? Did you ever listen to Mint Royale? Your music really takes me back to Mint Royale.
I have never heard of Mint Royale unfortunately . I just loved that 00′s feeling of music, it wasn’t perfect mastering, the mixing wasn’t perfect but those samples and kickdrum went together like milk n cookies. I usually give the answers that everyone gives for influences (cassius, daft punk) but here are some unorthodox answers: Poka, Kill The Noise (Yes he makes some french house!), cabin crew, tzesar.
What plans do you have for the future? Give us a heads up on the forthcoming.
Yep as I said before when I’m 18 i’ll be doing some performances and maybe one or two for now while im 17. Got MASSIVE plans with Tyler Touche, we have a killer sample in stock for you. I’v attached a Daft Punk Remix I’v almost finished. Cut off the 2nd chorus just to annoy everybody.
If you could have any super power what would it be?
To be able to talk to penguins. i fucking love penguins.

Review: A Thousand Years – Farmers in Fields of Stars
Originally posted on Schitz Popinov
A Thousand Years has produced what may be the most broad genre encompassing record of the year; Farmers in Fields of Stars. Leaned out progressive R&B is most likely the most accurate way to verbally convey the overall sound of this record.
From beginning to end one experiences a feeling of uncertainty as to what is going to leak into your ear and from what corner of your memory one is going to reminisce with next. To say that this record is a nostalgia trigger is an understatement, however a more judicious expression is out of grasp at this time. I feel as though Zeké Africa’s father’s Jazz background, and probable influence, has had a significant bearing on A Thousand Years style as it is today. There is an uncanny progression from track to track that continues throughout the debut EP of the London based artist which must stem from Jazz.
