Started as a DJ: April 1994

DJ and music:
The ability to transform mixing into an art is one of the most difficult things a DJ can learn. The vibe the crowd gives you is one of the finest things a DJ can feel. Being an artist and being able to put his heart and soul in his music, gives him the ability to set free his self from daily routine and makes it possible to develop him self even more as an artist.
Producing
Nickolas Quartez produces music in two genres: Break beat and Techno. In both of these genres, you can find either easy listening or hard crushing beats. From the first track ever made by him, until the most recent one, you can hear a distinguishing vibe that an artist can only add to his/her track if it is made with hard work and effort. Up till now, he has released only one of his tracks because it’s nice to have unique material.
History
Anybody can call themselves a DJ. Nickolas Quartez sees himself as an entertainer in music. Everyday, you can see kids on the street dreaming of being the thing the want to be the most. Some want to become a fire man others want to become successful business men. Nickolas Quartez’s ambition to become an entertainer in music did not come unexpected. Almost all of my family members play an instrument or are active in the music scene.
Inspired by his parents and friends, his first attempt to mix music was with 2 tape recorders. By recording one song after another and trying to let the merge, he had the idea that it was possible to make one long track from a number of tracks. And of course he did not know he needed a mixer to do so. He found out that, in order to do what he desired, he needed more equipment. Expensive equipment... He got a job and within six months he had his first pair of decks and a mixer to start with. And that is when all the trouble started.
Being able to mix records the way he did, got him his first gig at the age of 15 in a pool hall. Across the pool hall was a club. By coincidence the owner of the club was in the pool hall and heard him perform. Hopping from club to club, he has played aside different names like Mark van Dale, Jurgen, Natarcia and more.
