Over the last ten years, N2N has become broadly recognized for his blistering marathon sets fueled by infectiously energetic house music. In 2018, he was mentioned by Billboard in its list of the nine best set from Burning Man, and the year prior he had the opportunity to perform for a global audience in New YorkÕs Mixmag Lab. A lifelong student of music, his sets seamlessly blending genres have become crowd favorites across the country, as seen in this set from Brooklyn. In the studio, his versatility shines through, as his groovy feel-good style has ‘landed him major label signings as well as support from the worldÕs biggest DJs, including Fatboy Slim, Chris Lake, David Guetta, and Idris Elba. 2023 has seen N2N root himself in the scene with a slew of releases on Glasgow Underground, deadmau5’s house imprint hau5trap, and Insomniac. He has cemented himself as one of the genre’s brightest rising stars. Beyond the decks, Nick has become an outspoken advocate for mental health and suicide awareness. A survivor himself, he hopes to use his platform to break down the stigma associated with depression and encourage others in similar situations to speak freely in a time heavily dictated by external appearance. In his spare time, youÕll find him tending to his gargantuan plant collection or whispering sweet nothings to his cats Bucket & Shoe.
