Nile Delta

MySpace / Soundcloud

Nile Delta is a Melbourne original, an omnipresence in the background of the back rooms with the golden ears and a platinum touch at a discotheque near you. Whether he's waving magic disco dust on a production here, a remix there, a mixtape over here or a party over there, Nile Delta has always come correct, whether you knew it or not.

Going left when others go right and looking in when others reach out, Nile Delta has steadily, deliberately plotted his own path through a variety of guises before landing where we are today. Half of the first ever live incarnation of Cut Copy back in the days when it was a shambolic 2 piece, half of now defunct Relish-signed Riot In Belgium, constantly co-producing with the likes of Das Moth and Comets to name a few, half of Cutters Records inhouse future-dance factory Voltage and all of DJ Belgium, he might have trouble keeping a name but when it comes to keeping party people moving Joel Dickson's got it made in the shade.

The most recent Nile Delta release, Channel/All This on Cutters, is one that's almost impossible to place in the dance music continuum. At times '86, '96, 2006 and tomorrow, it's arguably Dickson's finest moment to date and most definitely a sign of things to come.

As a DJ Nile Delta traverses a choice selection of anything rooted in disco and house, amidst which his own productions sit very comfortably, and it's an impressive, failsafe study in poise and panache.

Ladies and gentlemen, for the heads, hearts and heels - Nile Delta.
