James Zabiela and Nic Fanciulli have joined forces for a ONE+ONE album on Ministry of Sound Recordings and a world tour that kicked off at WMC and comes to Empathy at Blue Mountain on Friday, July 27th, 2007.
James Zabiela and Nic Fanciulli first struck up a friendship during gigs in Asia in 2005. Their mutual understanding of each other’s music coupled with the fact they had fun and got into all sorts of mischief together made them inseparable. Throughout 2006 the pair experimented playing back2back, including New Year’s Day in Nic’s hometown of Maidstone, the sunnier climes of Miami’s WMC at Cafeteria and We Love… Space, Ibiza. All received rave reviews (no pun intended) and it was proof indeed JZ and Nic needed to take this idea further – and so ‘One+One’ is born.
The concept will encompass a world tour, which kicked off at this Miami’s WMC 2007. Lauded as one of the essential parties to attend the One + One launch & Boat Party (sell out events) did not disappoint. The lads then returned to the UK to more sell shows across Britain. Following this, in May, James & Nic set off for an extensive month long US tour. This will see the pair traveling like rock stars as they climb aboard a tour bus and gig their way around the country covering the length and breadth of America (with up to five shows a week). No rest for the wicked as directly after this tour, James & Nic then head off for a month of gigs in Asia and Australia (dates below) trailed by a full 3 months in Europe centered around Ibiza’s summer season.
Together as ONE+ONE they are debuting a brand-new piece of DJ equipment called the Q2 Dual DJ. It will allow them to independently cue different sources— CDJs and laptops - and also allow them to hear what the other is doing on the decks resulting in better programmed sets. Simply put, the device frees them from sharing headphones when DJing back to back. ONE+ONE will be the first DJ artists to use the product extensively on tour.
A technical wizard and with a love of all things sci-fi, James Zabiela along with Fanciulli is at the forefront of new DJ/production talent smashing the glass ceiling of the global superstars. He’s played to a room full of suited Japanese businessmen when showcasing Pioneer’s latest equipment, in front of 60,000 people in South America and just about every imaginable situation in-between. From the beginnings of winning a bedroom DJ competition to Sasha personally signing James to his DJ agency Excession things have skyrocketed. Armed with his fully loaded laptop, effects units, CDs and other box of tricks, James has created his own place on the scene. He holds residencies at Space–Ibiza and Pacha-New York and had successful compilations on Renaissance as well as EPs and singles, The Utilities EP and Weird Science respectively. With the likes of Sasha, Royksopp and Depeche Mode calling upon him for remixes, Zabiela’s re-rub of “Seal Clubbing? by Charlie May vs Sasha spent several weeks at #1 in both the Beatport and DJ Download sales charts. In 2006 James was awarded the People’s Choice accolade as ‘Best International DJ’ at the Australian Dance Music Awards.
Nic Fanciulli has developed into a modest global superstar via his four residencies across the world with his beloved ClubClass in London, Space-Miami, Space-Ibiza and the magnificent Il Muretto in Venice, Italy. Production-wise he has worked alongside Andy Chatterley, under the Skylark and Buick Project monikers with huge success, beginning with an Essential new tune on BBC Radio 1 for “That’s More Like It? (Overall Fanciulli has had five different Essential new tunes on Pete Tongs legendary U.K. show) to the more recent sublime acid house “Lucky Heather/Cat Out of the Bag,? which was one of the highest selling underground dance records of 2006 and was voted by the Space Ibiza promoters as one of the three biggest records of the summer at this legendary club. He also has a substantial catalogue of productions under his belt already and is widely regarded as one of the most innovative and forward thinking producers in the industry. Most recently, Fanciulli garnered a Grammy Award nomination no less for Buick Project’s remix of Tiefschwarz/Tracey Thorn’s song “Damage. Fanciulli has also remixed for the likes of Deep Dish, Kylie Minogue, Timo Maas, Tiefschwarz and Underworld, among others. His critically acclaimed albums for Renaissance show he’s at home in the studio with new material coming all the time.
