Biography of Nick Thayer
Bold. Unassuming. Adventurous. Slightly fruity. These are all words Nick Thayer likes to use when pretending he knows about wine, and he has had plenty of chance to practice recently, with plenty to celebrate. Nick Thayer spent his childhood making strange noises out of strange things, and spending all his money on guitars and questionable records. It wasnt long until he realized that it would take more than a job in a coffee house to complete his Queen collection so he decided to make music pay for itself.
After a number of years in various pretentious funk-rock bands with various pretentious names Nick had the misfortune to end up DJing at a mates party. Thayer soon discovered that records and turntables were easier to deal with than drummers and singers, and so decided to give the DJing thing a shot.
With an ear for things out of the ordinary Thayer soon found himself resident at one of Melbournes longest running breaks nights Out of Order. With a weekly captive audience and a computer that seemed to work better whilst you kicked it, Thayer started ordering the beeping noises he was making into things resembling songs. Deciding that this was the way forward Thayer started sending this stuff to labels all over the place. On the advice of interstate drinking buddy and fellow producer Bass Kleph he sent his music to Breaking Point.
His debut Theme One found its way onto decks the world over and the ball was now beginning to gather some momentum. Before long the tune found its way onto the Ministry Compilation Breaks 03, and a host of other releases to boot. Whilst all this was going on, Nick continued to work on his DJing too, and started getting booked all over the country. Sydney, Brisbane, Canberra, Byron, and even Wollongong all found themselves wondering why this lanky fellow was invading their clubs. He played the Boiler Room at Big Day Out, Melbourne metro alongside The Crystal Method, and had the Stanton Warriors shaking what their mothers gave them at an eventful New Years Eve show.
Things evolve and for one reason and another, the ship that was Out of Order was berthed permanently, but there were new prospects on the horizon. Residencies at two of Melbournes foremost clubs soon followed, with Melbourne stalwart Ransom inviting Thayer to join the line-up at Revolvers The Late Show, and The Croft Institute enlisting the size of his funk collection for Lesson One. In November 2004 Thayer decided to make the trek back to his homeland to see what the fuss was like over there, playing some massive shows at Supercharged in Brighton, Blowpop in Bristol at the request of John Stapleton and Soulberries in London.
2005, and Thayer and Bass Kleph decided to come up with an excuse for more frequent interstate drinking sessions and starting writing together. The results were the massive Fuckin the Groove and Ante Up, not to mention an unstoppable remix of the Drumattic Twins Feelin Kinda Strange for UK mob leaders Finger Lickin, which went on to garner the award for Best Remix at the breakspoll awards 2005. Back in Melbourne and Thayer joined the team at Triple RRR radio, hosting Beats Electric, a weekly show, mirroring his musical tastes and incorporating anything electronic or beat related. Late 2005 saw Nick remixing the monster Purple Funky Monkey for the Australian release of the JDS album, and his follow up release Clap Ya Hands had the hippest of hips swinging, turning up on the Mercedes Australian Fashion Week CD. More recently the supremely fashionable Stanton Warriors commissioned his talents to remix 'Still Here' for their Punks label. He has asked to be paid in shoes. The remixes continued to come in, and get churned out, with monsters for the likes of Circuit Breaker (Streetwise), Moston & Malente (Splank!), and Deekline feat Godfather (Rat Records) soon flowing out of speakers around the world.
2006 began with a slew of releases as Nick remains chained to his computer. His double AA 'Groove With It/Size Matters' hit shelves, and the follow up 'Pass the Krunk / Bad Ass School of Soul' doing the requisite damage to bassbins. March 2006 saw a monster UK /Europe tour on the back of the Breakspoll award, with Nick playing Eargasm @ Fabric at the request of the Plump DJs, Boomslang in Cambridge, a massive Tues night in Budapest with 1000 very excited Eastern block enthusiasts, and many more to boot. September saw Thayer enter the CD market, with the inthemix50 mix CD garnering impressive responses from all the right spots. Flowing from party hip-hop to old school electro to house, breakbeat and drum and bass, it shows Nick's philosophy that good records are good records. A tour followed with MC N'fa, and if the carnage that ensued is anything to go by, the duo are a force to be reckoned with. September also saw him playing the Love Parade in San Francisco, and November / December saw a return to the UK with a main room slot at Fabric not to mention Mint, Supercharged and the Breakbeat Weekender. With a full length album in the works, a band being put together, plenty of flights booked, and a whole swag of new releases to follow, Nick Thayer can look forward to plenty more reasons to practice his wine tasting technique, and a good reason to lay down a few more cases.
