May 10, 2023 00:00 - 3 hours - 259 MBIt's always a dream when you get to dj at the beautiful University of Wisconsin's Memorial Union Terrace Stage and thankfully it turned into a beautiful evening after the threat of rain passed.

Just under 4 hours of dj'ng (with no bathroom break!). Hope you all enjoy it! Tracklist: http://serato.com/playlists/nick_nice/lcd-soundsystem-vs-daft-punk-2014 3 hou...

Nick Nice - Guilty Pleasures @Shamrock
May 11, 2013 13:30 - 3 hours - 516 MBThe Shamrock has been a Madison institution since it opened in 1985. It's often referred to as the 'Cheers" of LGBT-friendly bars... to me it's a place where everyone from any walk of life is made to feel welcome due to it's unpretentious atmosphere and friendly staff. The cheap drink specials always help too! I also dj there every Thursday night (10pm-close) and it allows me to play all sorts of fun guilty musical pleausres that I might not play at other shows. From disco to 80's to house...

Nick Nice-Cocktails in the Conservatory 1.25.13
January 27, 2013 19:16 - 3 hours - 549 MBWhat's the cure for the darkest, coldest days of winter in Wisconsin? Throwing a party in the 80+ degree, perfectly humid, Olbrich Gardnes Conservatory. Cocktails in the Conservatory is an event that happens every winter and I can honestly say it's one of my favorites. Where else can you feel like you've visited a tropical paradise along with good beats & delicious drinks? I was dj'ng directly in front of the carnivorous plants and they were clearly feeding off the energy off the dancefloor...

This set is essentially a non-stop 60's dance party full of hits both well-known & obscure. I know you'll all dig it! 46 minute LIVE mix (106.9mb file/320k CBR)
Dixon-Live @ King Club 9.1.02 (Madison, WI)
December 18, 2012 15:16 - 2 hours - 236 MBA classic live set from way back in the day. My friend Brad & I brought a lot of dj's to Madison who would later go on to international fame. We brought Dixon over in 2001 & suffice to say everyone was blown away by his music, dj skills & his down to earth attittude. This set was from his return visit on a perfect Sunday night in the now defunct King Club. I vividly remember the entire place dancing non-stop from start to finish. One of those magical evenings you never forget & make you rea...

Nick Nice-Get Phoqued! (11.14.12)
November 15, 2012 15:44 - 3 hours - 498 MBFeels good to get back to my old stomping grounds where my formative years of dj'ng began at the Cardinal in Madison, WI. My new monthly night, Get Phoqued, happens the 2nd Wednesday of each month and is all about underground music with an open-minded attitude geared directly for the dancefloor. Inspired by my daily dance party marathons with my son Maceo. Phoque is the French word for seal & I used one of his building blocks for the flyer. Enjoy the ride! 217 minute LIVE mix (498.4mb f...

October 26, 2012 15:23 - 3 hours - 474 MBTook a quick jaunt back to my old stomping grounds in Paris & spent a weekend in one of my favorite citites in France, Poitiers. Always a good vibe there with minimal sleep & loads of champagne. This is my set from a beautiful little bar called L'Apart. It recently opened in the center of the city amidst the tiny roads & cobblestone streets. I dj'd in by far the smallest dj 'booth' known to man. You could neither stand nor sit but thankfully the endless glasses of Dom Perignon & Moet as wel...

Nick Nice-Disco Ironman
September 11, 2012 15:17 - 1 hour - 246 MBDeep house & delicious disco for your aural pleasure & to fuel your Ironman activities, whatever they may be… This is a live mix recorded on the night of the annual IronMan competition that's held in Madison. I dj literally right from the heart of it and get to see the extreme highs & lows from people finishing up the competition. Many being dragged home like zombies by their friends & family members, collapsed from extreme exhaustion & pushing their bodies to the limit. This year it also ...

Nick Nice-Hot Disco Summer Nights (Live @Natt Spil 5.18.12)
May 27, 2012 20:26 - 3 hours - 502 MBTo say Donna Summer had an impact on me as a kid is an understatement. I didn't even realize how much so until she passed away. Listening to those records & cassettes over & over are clearly one of the reasons I became a dj. I might not have realized it at the time but the fact that her albums all flowed together like a dj set was probably one of the main reasons I listened to them so much. The day after she died I dj'd at Natt Spil (in Madison, WI) on an absolutely perfect summer night. Th...
Nick Nice-Live @Orpheum 2.25.12 (Opening for Rusko & Eliot Lipp)
February 26, 2012 09:56 - 2 hours - 303 MBI love playing opening sets & literally crafting the vibe from scratch to create a killer party.

This mix will definitely get your party started properly! Huge thanks to the Orpheum, Prime Social Group & the Majestic Theatre for putting together such a great party. 132 Minute LIVE mix (318.1mb file/...

February 19, 2012 19:49 - 3 hours - 519 MBIt was an epic battle for the 1st ever election to select the Mayor of the Decks...the clear winner? Everyone on the packed dancefloor literally from start to finish! Chicago legend Zebo made the trek up to Madison for a seriously killer party. I kicked things off and we then switched off every half hour... suffice to say we went all over the place musically and it was one of the best parties I've been a part of for ages. Hope you all enjoy it! 3hr 47 min LIVE MIX (sorry no tracklist av...
Nick Nice-Glacial Moment
February 12, 2012 23:26 - 1 hour - 243 MBGlobal warming has caused our winter in Wisconsin to be more or less non-existant, with the exception of a few days here & there.

Nick Nice-Live @ Mad Men Holiday Soirée (Majestic Theatre 12.17.11)
December 23, 2011 14:25 - 1 hour - 216 MBIt was THE Holiday Party of the year, our Mad Men Holiday Soirée @ Madison's historic Majestic Theatre was truly a trip back in time. The entire crowd was dressed in vintage attire & it really felt like you were transported back to the early 1960's. By popular demand here's my set from the party. A nice compliment to the afterparty set with much more familiar & dancefloor-friendly songs (and a few crossover ones between the two mixes). I stictched together my 2 sets from the party. Hope you...
Nick Nice-Afterparty @Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce
December 18, 2011 17:31 - 2 hours - 353 MBOn December 17th 2011 we held our 1st annual Mad Men Holiday Soirée at the historic (built 1906) & beautiful Majestic Theatre in Madison, Wisconsin. In preparing for my set that evening I dove headfirst into sort of a forgotten era of great music circa 1958-1966. I literally just threw this mix together & ended up realizing it basically would have been a set I'd drop at an afterparty if I had been alive & dj'ng back in 1966. Throw this on for the perfect party soundtrack to keep your guests...
