A clubnight held at The Jam Jar on Thursday 4th May. The event starts at 20:00.
Nickodemus is a DJ high on the list for The Jam Jar so we’re very excited to welcome the international legend from New York City to Bristol for an extended DJ set of the finest tropical sounds - through Afro, Funk, Latin, Jazz and Soul infused house and global dance floor beats.
Producer and label boss at the beloved Wonderwheel Recordings - home to many of our favourite forward thinking global artists - Nickodemus spreads a wealth of incredible music to the world.
In support we've got the residents of one of our favourite festivals; Tropical Pressure. DJ Bobby Soul is an avid vinyl collector whose tropical,
Latin sets are always imbibed with buckets full of soul. Countryman is a long-time sound system selector who reaches deep into African
and Jamaican roots music, alongside fresh dub-plates from some of the hottest studios.

NICKODEMUS
Nickodemus is a traveler at heart—a connector of worlds, scenes, and people since the mid-90s. Over his extensive career as a touring DJ and producer, including three albums and canonical tunes like “My Swing es Tropical” and “Cleopatra in New York”, he’s helped pave the way for an inimitable mix of global fusion and the heavy beats we yearn for in the club. His music has long thrived on the close relationships and mutual respect of friends he’s built across the continents, felt through the worldly potions he cooks up in the studio, and spanning electronic sounds rooted in Latin, African, and Eastern instrumentation. His latest album, A Long Engagement, serves as a culmination of the inspirations he’s absorbed and remains rooted in his life as native New Yorker and the city’s nostalgic energy.
Nickodemus’ sound is often focused on the connective tissue of his many live collaborations and the electronic solitude of his studio (or record-filled bubble, as he calls it). Through his much-loved label Wonderwheel Recordings, he’s not only regularly releasing some of the most soul-shaking, eclectic sounds in the biz, but focusing deeply on artist development and creating long-lasting moments that live on far longer than their track length. The music you hear in his releases are filled with expression, reflection, and care; they’re both open-minded and deeply focused, a rarity at time in today’s overcrowded music industry.
As a remixer, he’s also lent his “Remix Machine” to a wide range of artists including pioneers like Bob Marley and Nina Simone, as well as other like minded genre-welders like Thievery Corporation, Quantic, and Mr. Scruff. Throughout his career he’s also carved an important niche in the live music scene with his beloved Turntables on the Hudson parties that have popped up everywhere from New York to Cairo.
