This is for the people of the Sun

After a strong debut album Endangered Species, Nickodemus unleashes his second solo album, Sun People! Inspired by sunny days and good people, the album mixes positive dance music from all over the globe including Guinea, Colombia, Puerto Rico, Brazil, Romania, India, Turkey, United Kingdon & his hometown Brooklyn, NYC!

Some of the original Endangered Species cast returns for Sun People including Jay Rodriguez, Quantic, Hector “Tempo” Alomar & the Candela Allstars, Zeb, Nappy G & Real Live Show.

From being a regular DJ in the early days of Giant Step to running one of NYC’s longest running parties, Turntables on the Hudson, Nickodemus has been a steady force on the music scene for over 12 years. He has traveled the globe as a DJ since the age of 18 and has been dropping musical productions of his own since 1999 with his cult classics “Cleopatra in New York” & “Mariposa” in 2001. His last album featured “Mi Swing es Tropical” which was not only a worldwide club anthem but was also featured in the iTunes + iPod adverts for the summer of 2007. He’s weighed in heavy with remixes for Billy Holiday, Nina Simone, Thievery Corporation, Sultan Kahn, Omar Faruk Tekliebek, Balkan Beat Box, The Pimps of Joytime & many more.
