Resident at four of the most famous clubs in the World including Ministry of Sound (Housexy), The Cross (Fiction) and Fabric (DTPM), Nick Bridges is one of the most exciting young DJ/producers in the UK.
Following a number of years playing throughout the East of England, Nick caught the attention of Ministry of Sound's 'Rulin' promoter earning him a debut at the World's most famous Super Club in 1999. Within a year Nick made his debut in 'The Box' and was later showcased during a 7-hour set at the Millennium Dome New Years Eve 2000.
Throughout 2001, Nick’s performances led to a succession of dates and residencies across Europe, including Privilege, Pacha & Space, Ibiza; leading to his appointment as Ministry of Sound's World Tour Resident in 2002 - playing every weekend throughout the World inc.
