NIGEL DAWSON

• Biography •

   Nigel Dawson is a DJ known for his definitive house sets varying from the deeper, subtle music breaks and beats to the more traditional progressive fare. Nigel has built a solid reputation working with the likes of The Gallery, Promise, The Cross, Space, Lush, Bliss, Ministry of Sound and, of course, Renaissance. 
  In 1992 Renaissance was in it's infancy. Residents were Sasha and Digweed - esteemed company to say the least, making it one of the hardest stages on which to make an impression, but impress Nigel did and it forged his own residence, which has survived to this day. 
  The scenario is familiar guest DJ fails to show, young and unknown there is Nigel on hand willing to fill in, young DJ rocks it, consequently, young DJ goes onto glittering DJ and production career. However familiar this scenario is it rarely, if ever happens, but in Nigel Dawson's case it is. 

  Along the way his talent and penchant for hard work has established him as a regular on the UK club circuit this includes The Gallery, The Pod, Lush, Promise, Space to name but a few. Most notably, his residence at Renaissance's monthly night at The Cross in London as sole resident (now in it's 6th year and sill going strong) has firmly established him as one of the capital's prodigal sons. In fact, he has been prevented from leaving the DJ booth come the club's 6am close on more than one occasion! 
If that weren't enough he also guests at many of some of the World's finest venues, and as a result Nigel is now established an impeccable global reputation. International dates include :
Australia, South Africa, USA, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Singapore, Ibiza, Canada, Sweden, Oslo, Russia, China, Amsterdam, Luxemburg, Switzerland, Spain, Greece, Belgium, Japan, Malta, Mexico, Brazil, Finland, and Kuala Lumpur. 

     In 1996 Nigel made the logical progression into studio production and thus his "Dominion" pseudonym was born and his first track soon found a home on Whoop! Records. Entitled " The Gate ", it was an instant success with the progressive mafia and was included on the Renaissance four compilation featuring Dave Seaman and lan Ossia. His follow-up track "Creation" also was included on Renaissance's Singapore compilation, again mixed by Dave Seaman.
Buoyant from this success, Nigel preserved, developing a long, prolific career, which truly came to fruition with his last two singles. Eleven Hours was licensed to seven territories around the world and aside from the UK release on Whoop! picked-up on an exclusive German license Planetary Consciousness label.
Osiris, From East to West, was the most recent release. Aside from yet another slew of licenses, the track found favour with the likes of Sasha, Tengalia, Carl Cox and Nick Warren!
