Nick Garcia

A Bay Area transplant from Orange County, California, Nick Garcia (aka DJ Nick G) grew up in a household filled with musical expression. He began playing various instruments at a young age, discovering his knack for music early on. When introduced to house music in '95, at the age of 13, he fell in love. He acquired a set of turntables and never looked back.

Since then, Nick has made a name for himself spearheading phenomenal house events of all shapes and sizes with different crews in both L.A. and the Bay Area, featuring world-class talent. Nick has contributed to the scene in the studio as well, releasing originals and remixes on labels like Vinyl Assassins, Soluble Recordings, Jump Recordings, Ginkgo Music, Marinated Music, MONOSIDE, Uniting Souls, and Dufflebag. His tracks have appeared on various compilations, most notably Fabric 56: Derrick Carter. He partnered with Oscar Miranda to form the dynamic duo RARE STATIC and took on label boss duties for the Funky Farm imprint in 2010.

While Nick draws the bulk of his inspiration from West Coast and Chicago underground house, his sound spans a wide range, from deep and soulful to jackin’ and funky, with influences of tribal and tech house. Known for his energetic, bouncy, and groovy style, he’s able to rock the nightclubs and ultra lounges while feeling right at home in a dark, gritty warehouse.
