hello everyone, my real name is NICO... NICKODEMUS is a "nick" name given to me at an early age. i am not greek, but my journey started in queens, so i love my mediterranean cousins ;) been dancing since birth, spinning records since 14, producing events since 16 & producing music from about 20... i've produced, co-produced & released about 40 original tunes, 20 or so remixes, 7 compilation CD’s and 1 full length album called "ENDANDERED SPECIES". music is clearly been my passion. getting people together with music (aka TURNTABLES ON THE HUDSON & CONEY ISLAND LOVE) is one of my favorite things to do! with everything going on in the world, music is always the unifier... the healer! the music i produce comes from many different influences. funk, soul & hip hop is where my musical journey began. fortunately, DJ’ing has brought me all over the globe since 96, so it’s really helped broadened my horizons.

~ i hope you enjoy the music & the vibes that i send!!!!!!!
peace in & out, NICO aka NICKODEMUS

WILL HOLLAND works damn hard. works damn hard, has put a lot of records out, and is still damn young. of course, when you really consider that for someone in their mid twenties to be, in 2006, releasing what is essentially their 8th album, and racking up nearing 30 remixes since his first release in 2002, then that is quite astonishing.

we all know though, that quantity does not equal quality, so what really astonishes is the fact that every single release is a winner. every single release is worth your time and sees him trying something different, exploring sound, and translating his own huge thirst for new sound into his own work.

there isn't a musical genre out there thats related to the hearts of funk and soul that he hasn't turned his hand to, and yet at the same time he his one of the few producers around that always sounds like himself.

whether it's under his original QUANTIC moniker or as the live rocking funk soul heaviness of THE QUANTIC SOUL ORCHESTRA you can spot a QUANTIC production a mile off, even if it doesn't sound like anything you've heard him do before.

it's a talent that has seen him work with some of the finest names around. remixing CHARLIE PARKER and BREAKESTRA, collaborating with SHARON JONES and MR. SCRUFF, sharing a live stage with DE LA SOUL, to producing and writing with SPANKY WILSON, QUANTIC'S is a talent that is admired by producers, vocalists, and musicians of all the ages. and naturally, clubbers around the world have felt the QUANTIC pressure too.

from the festival stages of THE BIG CHILL, GLASTONBURY, and ROSKILDE, super smooth clubs in europe and japan, hard core roadtrips around the USA and australia, tiny muscovite basement sessions and puerto rican candela sweat boxes, where there's the music love QUANTIC will go. literally, where there's a WILL, there's a way.

time for a rest perhaps? never. believe it or not there are still countries he hasn't DJed or dug for records in, still sounds he hasn't experienced, and still so many great records to make. onwards and upwards my friends, onwards and upwards...
