Nic Fanciulli is a young and fresh DJ,
producer and remixer - currently one of the hottest rising
talents in the UK.
Fanciulli started his career playing the usual round of
bars and worked in his local record shop in Maidstone from
the age of 16. His first break came five years ago after slipping
unmarked mix tapes to Maidstone's Club Class promoter. After
the 3rd tape and a 6-week hunt by the promoter Fanciulli was
given a weekly main room residency.
The same year (aged 19) Fanciulli, along with some friends,
started two record labels: Portent Records and Portent Plus.
The first track signed being Mojolators 'Drifting', which
was then signed on to Multiply after Pete Tong played it for
14 weeks in a row on his Essential Selection show.
Through Club Class, Fanciulli has gained massive respect
from DJs across the spectrum for his unique take on house
music. Xpress2 proclaimed him their tip for the top in October
2002, whilst Tong said he was the finest resident in the UK
as well as props from Yousef and Seb Fontaine along the way.
In the last year alone, Fanciulli has played for Cream in
the UK and Ibiza, for Defected throughout the world, for the
Radio 1 weekends in Ibiza, Miami and Cardiff as well as for
the Radio 1 Outdoor stage at Homelands & Glastonbury.
Plus gigs at Shindig, The Arches, Passion, Circus, Type and
he's recently started a new back-room residency with The Gallery
at Turnmills on the first Friday of every month. His room
(T2), called Fandango, is purely for Fanciulli to invite DJs
he respects and to push the finest new-breed through the ranks
- so far including Rocky and Diesel (X-Press2), Yousef, Paul
Woolford, Krysko, MYNC, Mark Knight and more to come. MTV
tipped Fanciulli for the top in their young-guns series @WMC
2003, he mixed a covermount CD for Mixmag and in May, Fanciulli
did his first ever Radio 1 Essential Mix - where Tong described
him as one of the finest residents and best up-and-coming
producers in the UK. In Dec this year this was followed up
by the half hour hot mix on Tong's show !!!
Fanciulli's production and remix work (under his Skylark
banner) has also stepped up a gear this year, pushing him
through as both an artist and DJ. His remixes of Jo Mills'
4Tune 500 'Dancin in the Dark' achieved 'Essential New Tune'
status back in XXXX, whilst his remixes of Sandy Rivera's
'I Cant Stop' (Deep Vision), Deep Dish's 'Prahna The Dream'
(Yoshitoshi) and Xpress2's 'Muzik' (JBO) clearly illustrate
why he is in demand. In August Fanciulli once again achieved
Essential New Tune with his own production work (as Sky Lark)
with 'That's More Like It'.
