Trainspotting with Nick Tcherniak

Big tunes from the big hitters – Familia stylee

1. ‘Nerve Cell’ – Boryana [Octopus Black)

Dark tones but warm and inviting at the same time from surely one of the most beautiful looking DJ Producers on the planet!

2. ‘Submissive’ – DJ Boris, Jewel Kid (Alleanza)

Monotonously fantastic new one one Mr Jewel Kid’s own label

3. ‘Solar Power’ – Skober  (Riot Recordings)

Old school chords over a techno groover

4. ‘Signs’ – Fabio Ferro (Monnrom Records)

The unmistakable Familia groove of Fabio Ferro, one from the Summer but still firmly in the box

5.  ‘Drop The Box’ Edelstahl Remix – TKNO & Sebastiean Manuel (Yin Yang)

Pacey peaktime action here, which works a treat.

6. ‘ Shifted’ – Paride Saraceni, Stiv Hey (Trapeze)

One of my favourite records, intense but refined at the same time.

7. ‘Like This’ – Ben Grunnell  (Pild Records)

Great groove from familia resident Ben Grunnell, pure class.

8. ‘Gibaro’ – High Frequency (Unity Records)

Deep Grooving beats and a spoken vocal doing the business

9. ‘Thin Red Line’  Dub Mix – Nick Tcherniak feat. River  (White Label)

Road testing this at the moment, driving beats and original vocal glitches and swells.

10. ‘ Voodoo Ray’ Shield Re Edit – A Guy Called Gerald (White Label)

Handy Remake of the classic from Revirth Records Head Honcho, perfect for end of the night moments.
