Adham Shaikh LIVE@MARKS
The ARTS at Marks Garage kicks off their LIVE@MARKS Global Electronica Concert Series with DJ Adham Shaikh on First Friday, November 2, 2012 at The ARTS at Marks Garage from 9pm-2am with local opener DJ Mr. Nick.
As a solo performer, or alongside a collective of world musicians, fusing together soundscapes of the ancient and the immediate, with the tribal dub grooves, Shaikh's renowned sets bridge the gap between the organic and the electronic. Often collaborating with dancers and VJs, his shows are an uplifting and captivating multimedia experience. Shaikh's work as both a live performer and a DJ has taken him to international festivals, events, and night clubs, including the Waveform Festival (UK), Samothraki Dance Festival (Greece), Dakini Nights (Tokyo), Luminate (New Zealand), The Maori Peace Festival at Parihaka (New Zealand), and Boom Festival (Portugal). He has toured extensively across Canada, with highlight performances at the Vancouver Folk Festival, Vancouver Jazz Festival, and the Shambhala Music Festival. As a composer, Adham has written and produced for Disney, IMAX, Oakley, Burton, CBC, TVO and CTV. Adham has received a Canadian Juno Nomination, as well as a Leo award, and a BC Indie award for best world album in 2011!
Late 2011, into early 2012, saw Adham taking a break from touring to complete a documentary soundtrack for National Geographic. He resumed touring in the spring of 2012 playing at festivals all over N. America. Adham was finally granted his work/travel visa for USA After eight years this past May 2012! Once the word was out, Adham was quickly added to many of Americas major festivals including Symbiosis, Lighting In A Bottle, Raindance, Groove Garden, Sonic Bloom and Beloved, just to name a few. Concertgoers at all these events were so moved by Adham's surprise appearances that he was quickly dubbed one of the favorites at these events!!
Autumn 2012 into 2013 will see Adham producing a full album for Didj master Ganga Giri as well as refractions vol 2 remix album release featuring remixes by Spoonbill, Kaya Project, Tripswitch, Desert Dwellers & Legion Of Green Men.

About DJ Mr. Nick:
With such a gentlemanly moniker, DJ Mr. Nick is indeed as debonair, courteous, polite, and professional as his name would imply. But he is also so much more. With strong ties to Honolulu's reputable independent music station KTUH, Mr. Nick has become rooted in listeners' brains with his impeccable taste in an eclectic range of music and his expert execution of perfect radio show sets. His popular show, The JET SET, takes you around the musical world on Wednesdays from pm to 9pm on KTUH, and his other show, Bridging the Gap, airs on Saturday nights on HPR2 from 6pm to 8pm.
As a nightlife DJ outside of the radio station, Mr. Nick has proven that he can cater to any audience while still keeping true to his style he can introduce esoteric beats to the most discerning of audiences and keep them moving as if they are hearing their favorite song for the first time. From bossa nova to breaks, from to soul to electro, from jazz to house, Mr. Nick can keep nights to a solid theme or mix genres as naturally as peanut butter and jelly.
With a humble demeanor, Mr. Nick still commands a presence as strong as his work ethic is unwavering. His personality and skill have secured him DJ residencies at bars at the helm of Chinatown's artful renaissance, such as thirtyninehotel, Bar 35 and Nextdoor. He's played with internationally famous acts Diplo, Dimitri from Paris, Ursula 1000, Fort Knox Five and many more. He's played gigs in Asia and has toured the islands as a top DJ pick for Honolulu's premiere cabaret revue Cherry Blossom Cabaret.
A signature way to describe his sets sums up a DJ Mr. Nick experience: he is sure to play something you have never heard before, but will never forget. www.djmrnick.com
