Sonikross AKA Nigel Ross first appeared on the dance music scene as SonikKross. His debut single, a collaboration with Michel Spiegel, (Nuw Idol, WellWicked Records) “SonikKross – Walking With Dreamz”, got major aclaim with a No.1 from John 00 Fleming in DJ magazine and pride of place as the last tune on the “Christopher Lawrence, Around The World” compilation!
In 2004, he and DJ friend John Hutchison(Johnny Frenetic) formed the live house band Tokyoblu. Nigel took on what became a huge task of co-writing and producing the music to be played live by the band at the monthly Edinburgh club also called Tokyoblu. The bands live set up consisted of 2 vocalists, guitar, bass, keys, drums and decks with Nigel controlling things from a laptop and also adding extra guitar on his rockier numbers!!
They gained great success on the live scene being touted as the “Scottish Bassment Jaxx” and packed out the monthly clubnight playing nonstop sets constructed just like a DJ set. This then transfered itself to festivals with amazing sets to thousands at T in the park, V festval and Becks Fusions.
Tokyoblu’s debut EP “Groove Tonight” (containing no less then 4 mixes produced by Nigel Ross) charted at no3 in the DMC chart and no6 in the Upfront House chart. This added to some amazing bootlegs have ensured Nigel’s mixes are sitting in many a top DJ’s record box.
The next chapter has only just begun! With numerous remixes due for release and new original material under way there’s big things in store from Sonikross!
