Michael Nicholas: The Disco Alchemist of Chicago Miami Tampa St Pete

Step into the groove with Michael Nicholas, a vinyl-spinning dynamo who first hit the scene at the Route 66 roller rink on Chicago’s Southside in the late '90s. Inspired by DJ Paul Johnson, he blended disco energy with funky vibes.

Starting at age seven with his electric guitar, Michael soaked up sounds from Nirvana to Earth, Wind & Fire. He transformed his bedroom into a funky lab filled with vintage drum machines and synths.

A regular at Chicago’s Smart Bar and a traveler to Detroit's vibrant scene with artists like Mike Huckaby, Michael honed his craft under Miles Maeda at DJ Evolution University. He embodies the essence of house music that emerged from Chicago in the '80s.

Get ready to boogie! Michael Nicholas is a sonic alchemist, mixing genres into a kaleidoscope of sound that keeps the dance floor alive. Join him on this funky journey into musical ecstasy!
