Nicky C - Dreams CD

If Nicky C's been keeping his head down, it's cause he's been busy creating. Now his monster is born, and what a snarling beast it is. Crammed with nine predominantly instrumental tracks built for the floor, Dreams reverentially pays respect to all of Nicky's influences, and the dark, dingy clubs and sleek bars he's had to work. 'Me & You' is an extended excursion through Balearic territory; 'Bad Boyz' a sinister floor destroying track with scattershot drums, noodly keyboards and Richter scale bass; and 'Annihilating Rhythm' a breaks stampede. Even Dido's 'White Flag' gets a rework. Clearly paying attention to how it's done, the veteran DJ and producing star takes a left turn into hip hop mix tape territory before slamming down tribal house that can only come from the molten core of some subterranean sweat pit. Not all the tracks have been designed for the casual listener, but many like the jaw dropping 'Pop The Trip' are. A slick hybrid of pounding kick drums, menacing horns, nasty scratching and a killer hook, it ('Pop The Trip') could easily rise to the sunny side of international hip hop/dance charts. It's about time Nicky got the cred he deserves; this brilliant piece of work should leave no argument as to why.
