eightball.ie proudly presents Billy Nasty

Friday, July 04
Dolan’s Warehouse

Billy Nasty has been DJing half his life; a career that has seen him spin professionally for over nearly fourteen years. He has continually travelled the world as one of the most in-demand techno/electro DJs, and has performed at the most prestigious events, and infamous clubs – across the globe. As a result, he has been one of only a handful of more ‘underground’ DJs who has consistently featured in the annual DJ Mag Top 100.

At the beginning of 1990, Billy took up his first residency at The Exploding Plastic Inevitable night (with accomplice and Lost founder, Steve Bicknell), at the legendary BrainClub in Soho. By 1991, Billy’s reputation behind the decks was such that he was invited to record the first mix for a new CD series entitled, Journeys By DJ. Seamlessly weaving between artists of the day – including Leftfield and Eagles Prey – Billy gained entry into the Guinness Book of Records for producing the first commercially-available DJ mix.

Billy is not, and has never been, just a DJ, though: he’s enjoyed an extensive recording career; runs three record labels widely-regarded by a broad range of DJs and record buyers alike; and also established a DJ agency, Theremin, that looked after the bookings of many of techno’s leading names, as well as nurturing new talent and allowing them to progress upwards through the ranks. Theremin closed last year, and, after signing up with the reputed DJ agency, Decked Out, Billy has now been granted additional time to concentrate on his labels and DJing.
