Re: GU 037: Nic Fanciulli

Pleased with this news.

I purchased his 1st Ren CD from eBay last summer and I was pleasantly surprised - it was decent house music with a fair few vocals. I then picked up the 2nd volume about 2 weeks ago and I think that is better than the first.

I'd much rather listen to this kind of house music than all the upfront, turgid, boring stuff that a lot of big name DJ's are playing at present. Seems some DJ's have forgotten that it's all about the tunes whilst they have been learning to layer 15 tracks in 5 minutes...........

The second Renaissance he did was superior to the first IMO.

I liked and respected what he tried to do on the first CD of his first mix but I don't think it worked.

I'm not totally sure on that. There was a set going around labeled as Tenaglia & Fanciulli from Space in Ibiza. Tenaglia does some voice overs on it, but there's nothing to say he actually played on the set.

I was talking about exit 07

According to interviews, emulate Howells' GU Miami's first disc, or he was inspired by it anyway.

The classics like Changes he chose, however, we're terribly out of place in my opinion. They just weren't smoothly placed.

Re: GU 037: Nic Fanciulli

Have not listened to any of Nic's comp but seeing a few times over the years, he can get down, they had to drag him off the decks last time he played in Vegas, played almost 5 to 6 hours spending the last two doing a B2B with Paul Woolford. He is into dance music and coming from the whole Bedroom Bedlam DJ thing has carved quite a niche for himself. Good move for GU how about Laurent Garnier for the next GU or Francios K.

Re: GU 037: Nic Fanciulli

After this news, I think we need:

Eric Prydz GU040 - Birmingham

Then he can get the train there and back

Just to let you guys know a little fact about Prydz...he doesn't fly. The man is scared of flying. I am not joking. I know this because when he was playing in Serbia a friend of mine that knows the guy that booked him said they had to drive to pick him up because he doesn't fly...

p.s. looking forward to hearing some quality music from Nic.

yeah, we know, thing is HE knows it too, so why sign on to do a GU in a country you know you'll never visit. Unless he was planning on taking a boat

It's been established that he has obviously flown before, so it's probably more about the distance than just flying

Re: GU 037: Nic Fanciulli

The Nick Warren gag is a bit tired now. Dave Seaman has done more Cd's for Renaissance than Nick Warrens has done for GU and John Digweed isn't far behind. 8 releases in 12 years is hardly over exposure. How many Mix Cd's has Digweed done in total? I bet its more than double what Nick Warren has done.

Re: GU 037: Nic Fanciulli

digweed = 22 nick = 15.

Re: GU 037: Nic Fanciulli

The album should be coming out in April.
Some info about the mix comp one month before the release, anyone?
So exciting, Fanciulli would be a great choice!

The ever pioneering Global Underground is proud to present its brand new Global Underground DJ Series. This new sonic adventure is all about putting the power in the hands of the DJ to take the listener on a complete introspective musical journey across two discs. The DJ is given free reign to compile two mixes spanning their influences and heroes while putting their own inimitable take on it. To spearhead the new series Global Undergound has selected the Grammy nominated talent of Nic Fanciulli.

GU founder Andy Horsfield explains more "I’m so excited about this new series for GU, I feel now is the time for us to give world class DJs like Nic the opportunity to really show the world how amazing they are. I picked Nic to launch this series for us as he is the one DJ who has consistently impressed me every time I've seen him play, be it at Space in Ibiza or WMC in Miami, Nic always delivers he is hands down a truly amazing DJ."

Nic has proved his worth time and again with numerous successful projects, his studio collaborations with Andy Chatterley (in the form of The Buick Project and Skylark) even gained a Grammy nomination for their remix of Tiefschwarz’s ‘Damage’ featuring Tracey Thorn on vocals. His new residency at club du jour matter has been a sell out and he continues to write music under his own name as well tour the globe constantly.

Global Underground’s impact over the last two decades has been phenomenal. synonymous with some of the most collectable and revered compilations ever made including Sasha’s Ibiza and San Francisco releases, Paul Oakenfold’s Oslo, Darren Emerson’s Singapore to Tony De Vit’s Tel Aviv and Tokyo follow up, it reads like a who’s who of electronica’s icons.

GU is also the creator of endless unforgettable dance music moments in time. With the pre-millennium hickjacking of an entire Channel 4 film crew for days in Ibiza to the GU Love Parade float in Berlin packed with party people, TV crews, a freshly hitched Bride and Groom and Danny Tenaglia; leading to the more civilized but almost impossible task of “breaking” America with the Global Underground name and going on to become one of the biggest selling album series within its field.

No sign of slowing down Global Underground is vital as ever in 2009 as Nic presents an outstanding, eclectic mix spanning stunning ambient, dubstep, house and techno. No doubt more of those unforgettable moments will be created with the launch of the new series; let’s just hope no film crews get kidnapped this time…

Nic Fanciulli Global Underground DJ – 001 is released April 27, 2009 on Global Underground. Check out Nic Fanciulli live at the Global Underground WMC All Star VIP event @ MYNT on Wednesday, March 25.

How is this going to differ from the regular series? It's just a blatent opportunity for them to re-promote something that reached it's peak long ago
