Nima Gorji Artist Bio

NIMA GORJI, born in Iran in 1972, since early eighties a citizen of Denmark, has been surrounded by music all his life. With his father being a keen musician, Nima quickly found out that he wanted to follow in the old mans touring footsteps. At the the tender age of 18 Nima had his first stint at the record players at a local club and hasn’t looked back since. From arriving in the capital of Denmark, Copenhagen, Nima instantly started making an impact on the clubscene, being a resident DJ at the now legendary LUST nights which introduced the city to the concept of wednesday clubbing to the sound of major guest DJs as Francois Kevorkian and Les Rythm Digitales back in the late 90’s. Nima quickly got his own night at newly rebuild Rust Club keeping his strong position as one of the city’s most important djs with his unmatched skills behind the decks. At the beginning of the year 2000 Nima had already moved on to the next adventure, VERYDISCO, a club that still to this day is aknowleged as the clubnight that introduced world class design and vibe to the capital. At the same time, Nima had started spending serious time perfecting his at this time already quite impressive productions skills, which had started in his teenage years as a keyboard player in a rock band. After making 2 remixes for a major label which was part of a certified Gold single release, Nima now focused on creating his very own label, Welt Recordings, which from 2001 was the official outlet for the trademark deep tech house sound that still to this day is present in his music and dj’ing. up until 2005, Nima has been constantly touring clubs in Denmark and europe, and releasing tracks that has gotten the attention and recognition of such profiles as Danny Tennaglia, Brother Brown, King Unique and many more. His own releases as BLACK POWDER (his purely underground oriented sound of) and MANIJAMA (his one time more commercial release for DEFECTED) both projects has been included on several compilations and achieved the respect and attention of djs and producers all over the world. As the year 2005 came to the end, Nima was already preparing for his next big career move. In the autumn of 2005 Nima moved to the international clubbing paradise of Ibiza, and managed to succesfully establish himself in, and be noticed by, the very small and closed society of the island. Within few months he had made his way to PACHA and quickly created a buzz around his dj set’s, that he was soon approached by the islands promoters. And not long into 2006 he had landed himself a friday morning residency on the world famous terrace at SPACE. This residency has only been interrupted once this summer to accept a tour of Brazil, instigated by south american promoters who booked him on the spot after experiencing his set’s at Space. During this hectic summer, Nima has found time to revive his old label WELT RECORDINGS, which now he has a plan to start from the beginning again with release nr 1, if ofcourse time will allow him. But before Welt is ready to rock again, Nima’s many productions, now done under the name of his original birth name NIMA GORJI, has for the last year been released on labels like OUT OF ORBIT, and SUBURBAN TRACKS for whom he has now finished an album, including “FRENCH CONNECTION” a track which has gained a quick succes, and while still a promo got licensed for the a mix cd by LOCO DICE called ‘Determination’. In less than one year, Nima has established a succesfull life in Ibiza and is every day gaining more and more respect from his piers . And as the 2006 season draws to an end, he is preparing to release more tracks, get his label back on its feet and ofcourse get his unbelievable energy, skills and crispy, warm, trippy and no shit TechHouse to as many clubs around the world as possible.
