Nigel Mihell has built a career over 8 years of DJ and production experience. DJing is without doubt one of life’s great buzz’s for Nigel and each and every time he gets to play it shines though that this is not work for him its fun! Nigel has an energetic and exuberant style and is not locked into any given format or genre “his parameters are” that the tunes be “Tuff, Driving, Funky - but always chunky!” and those guidelines apply to House or Breaks!!! Nigel has played at many established clubs across the UK and also plays very regularly in Canada and the USA.

During 2003 Nigel helped to start along with Midland’s promoter guru John Harding Northampton’s SESSIONS. He was the 2003 resident along side Alan “LuvDup” Stevens and during his time as resident Nigel played along side the likes of Seb Fontaine, Audio Bullys, The Stanton Warriors and Way out West, as well as the USA’s Scott Stubbs. In Canada and the USA Nigel has played on the Slinky Tour In Vancouver on two occasions with John Kelly, Dave Lee, and alongside Agnelli & Nelson on the Canadian leg of the MixMag Tour and also in Vancouver Nigel played at the first Trans Atlantic sortie for Seb Fontaine’s TYPE night.

Things in the studio are working out nicely too!! Fate took its part in bringing together Nigel and Julian Napolitano (one half of the mega JDS!) together. An appreciation for the same production hardware and technics was followed by a number of releases such as the remix of “Playing with Knives” under the “Pureal” moniker and also “Get Loud” released on Tall Paul’s Label

Intensive Music. The biggest success so far in terms of production for Nigel has come this year with the massive Breaks hit made in collaboration with JDS once again, JDS vs MIHELL “Purple Funky Monkey” was released earlier this year on Rennie Pilgrims TCR label and was hailed across the Breaks Community as the tune to come out of the TCR camp so far... The Plump djs called it the “biggest record ever on TCR” a Meat Katie called it “Simply Massive” the plaudits for this tune were not only limited to the Breaks world with Djs such as Judge Jules giving the tune big airtime on Radio 1, Hernan Catteneo and Timo Mass hammering it across the world and James Zabiela calling it Stupidly Massive”.

The production success has continued with Nigel’s latest 2 offerings “Hill Billy Funk” being snapped up by non other than the Mighty Seb Fontaine for his brand new label Stereo Type released late November 2004.

The production success is continuing for Nigel and he has again collaborated with Julian Napolitano, and Simon Langford, to create “Don’t Mean Shit” which is set to be a monster this year on Free2Air Recordings the release date is Monday June 20th.

More recently Nigel again hooked up with Julian and Simon to create a slightly funkier track that is being hailed as a potential summer smash. Under the Soul Seekerz moniker the trio have come with “Turn Me Upside Down” constant Radio One play from Judge Jules and support from house guru’s like Graeme Park look set to make this track the “Lola’s Theme” of 2005!

Finally on the production front look out for a track that is sure to turn some heads in 2005 as Nigel and the boys combine tuff twisted house with raw London rap, provided by up and coming star SPILT. The result a sure fire hit called “Paranoid” which you've heard exclusively on D-flection.
