Nick Technick — Funky House And Another Ethnic

DJ Nick Technick, or simply Nick Technick, is a boy named Mykola, who was born in 1961 and grew up, perhaps, in the happiest years of the 20th century. In the years when post-war construction and development reached its peak, cool jazz was the popular music on television, and the "morning star" of rock music "sparkled" with "The Beatles" albums and gathered people at Woodstock.

Mykola graduated from music school, played at city dances and was fond of "Led Zeppelin" and "Yes". Then he went to Kharkiv to graduate from the Institute of Radio Electronics, but at the same time, at Kharkiv University, at the Faculty of Public Professions, he obtained "Certificate No. 123" from Serhiy Korotkov on the granting of the profession of "pop music propagandist, discotheque organizer". And there, in Kharkiv, from 1980 to 1983, he became an organizer and DJ in one of the first Kharkiv music clubs, «Club 5».

The following 80s took place in the Donetsk Rock Club and as part of several rock bands and musical projects. But the "bad" 90s came, and Mykola "moved" music to the level of a Sunday hobby. Then the sons grew up, who were also involved in music, and encouraged dad to be interested in electronics, DAW & DJ Program. And so, a few years ago, retirement came, work went away, and Mykola again "took up the old" with both hands. Music albums are sold at BandcampDJ sets are published at Mixcloud, on weekends - "live" broadcasts from the bedroom... And what else is an old man supposed to do 38 kilometers from the front line? It's fun to spend time waiting for the next shelling! )

Compositions for the mix were selected based on the availability of funky riffs and interesting melodies. For those who like to dance in the kitchen in their underwear.

The picture for the mix was drawn by my daughter Olga. She is autistic.
