Nick Varon

In search of his musical world Nick passed through various styles , such as Jazz & Rock . Those two major influences quickly led him to piano & guitar lessons accordingly . At the end guitar became a stronger attachment . In the late 90"s when house music was huge in his hometown Athens ,Greece , Nick found himself in a club that Danny Tenaglia was playing. And that's how all started. This night determined his musical path. Sexy , Deep , Dark House would be his guideline from there after. Through dj ing Nick saw the way to express and share his music instincts in the best possible way . Right after he started discovering house music in every form . Strongly influenced from the Renaissance & Global Underground compilations & Dj's, started his often visits in the metropolis of the kind , London (UK). Those visits helped him to explore the culture of the scene deeper and at the same time made his vinyl haunting easier and richer in choices . Therefore began his first attempts of exposing his DJ abilities through school events and friends parties & later on at local bars. In 2003 Nick got the chance he was aiming for . A residency spot at Greece's heavy weight champion of electronic dance music , Venue Club in Athens , Greece . A club with global recognition and awards from press giants such as DJ Mag & Mixmag.

His devotion and respect for the above artists were shown within his dj sets. A journey through various forms of house always to the level of an accurate opening dj set. Something that noticed and "awarded" for the likes of Sharam ( Deep Dish) Nick Warren and most of all from South American superstar Hernán Cattáneo. Nick became the permanent opening dj for Hernan all over Greece. A beginning of a long partnership that goes on till today and an establishment of a great friendship. Also he toured around Greece in all the major cities and islands where his music gained many many fans. In 2006 moved in New York City. Soon he found himself to the best clubs of the city . Hernan Cattaneo once again gave him the chance , by asking him to participate in his Grobar residency. A residency that completed with great success and brought Nick in new adventures with Hernan in the U.S soil.
