▐████▌ ▄▄▓▓█▓▌ A b-boy who loves pop as much as he ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀█▄▄▄███▀
▀████▄▄▄▄███████▀ does hip hop? A DJ who searches for his ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▀▀███▀▄█████▀ breaks in both dusty record shops and off ▀█████▄
▄█████▀ ▀▄▄ the screen of VH-1? A Parisian born chap ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ who perfected typically English genres ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ like jungle and big beat before ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ falling for French house? Welcome to ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ the offbeat world of the Space Cowboy. ▀█████████
▀▀██▄ ▄██▀▀███ ▀ ▄
▄▄▄▄▄ ▐██▓ The Space Cowboy was born on the ▓██▌ ████▄ ▄█▌
▀ ▀▀███▄ ▄▓▓█▓▌ outskirts of Paris but swiftly moved to ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀███████▀
▐███▌▄█████▀ the Surrey 'burbs. In the early eighties ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▄ ▄███▄█████▀ he was known as Wizz Fresh, Fresh Master D ▀█████▄
▀▀███▀██████▀ ▀▄▄ or even Defmaster T as the ten year old ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ Nick Dresti changed his graffitti tag ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ as often as underpants. Hip hop was ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ his first Damascine conversion. "I ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ remember seeing Grandmaster Melle Mel's ▀███████▀▓▄▄▄
▄▄▄ ▀▀██▄ 'Step Off' on Top of ▄██▀▀■ ▀████▄
▄████▀▀▀▄ ▐██▓ the Pops and the graffiti and breakin' ▓██▌ ▐▌ ▐████
▐████▌ ▄▄▓▓█▓▌ in Chaka Khan's 'I Feel For You' video. ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀█▄▄▄███▀
▀████▄▄▄▄███████▀ Next thing I had to make sure my Mum was ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▀▀███▀▄█████▀ buying me the 'right' Adidas." The ten ▀█████▄
▄█████▀ ▀▄▄ year old was beguiled by the beats and ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ snazzy bling of hip hop who, after, ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ soaking up films Beat Street and ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ Breakdance formed a posse. ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ ▀█████████
▀▀██▄ They were fierce. "We wore stupid ▄██▀▀███ ▀ ▄
▄▄▄▄▄ ▐██▓ clothes, carried a box and sprayed crap ▓██▌ ████▄ ▄█▌
▀ ▀▀███▄ ▄▓▓█▓▌ graffiti everywhere". Though the ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀███████▀
▐███▌▄█████▀ Defmaster T tag, thankfully, didn't last ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▄ ▄███▄█████▀ long hip hop is the one genre Dresti is ▀█████▄
▀▀███▀██████▀ ▀▄▄ still addicted to. Growing up with Mike ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ Allen and Tim Westwood he still records ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ the Greatest Living Wigga every week ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ to play in his car. When asked what ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ he'd save if his house was on fire ▀███████▀▓▄▄▄
▄▄▄ ▀▀██▄ Nick says "My Run DMC 'Tougher Than ▄██▀▀■ ▀████▄
▄████▀▀▀▄ ▐██▓ Leather' film poster. It's tag-line is ▓██▌ ▐▌ ▐████
▐████▌ ▄▄▓▓█▓▌ 'Leaves the bad guys running and the ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀█▄▄▄███▀
▀████▄▄▄▄███████▀ good guys rocking'". ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▀▀███▀▄█████▀ ▀█████▄
▄█████▀ ▀▄▄ In the late eighties Nick was a fan of ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ the fast underground UK hip hop sounds ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ of Gunshot, Blade, Caveman and ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ Taskforce. Down the rave-up he heard ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ the frantic '20 Seconds To Comply' by ▀█████████
▀▀██▄ Silver Bullet and seminal breakbeat by ▄██▀▀███ ▀ ▄
▄▄▄▄▄ ▐██▓ The Scientist (You can hear some vintage ▓██▌ ████▄ ▄█▌
▀ ▀▀███▄ ▄▓▓█▓▌ rave riffs midway through his new ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀███████▀
▐███▌▄█████▀ single 'Just Put Your Hand In Mine') ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▄ ▄███▄█████▀ Inspired by this period he moved from crap ▀█████▄
▀▀███▀██████▀ ▀▄▄ graf tags to his first pseudonym proper. ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ As DJ Apex Nick ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ pulled on the Marigolds and started ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ rinsin' dem plates releasing jungle ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ choons and DJing on pirate stations like ▀███████▀▓▄▄▄
▄▄▄ ▀▀██▄ Hackney's Format FM. ▄██▀▀■ ▀████▄
▄████▀▀▀▄ ▐██▓ ▓██▌ ▐▌ ▐████
▐████▌ ▄▄▓▓█▓▌ After a few more rarified visits to ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀█▄▄▄███▀
▀████▄▄▄▄███████▀ house clubs Nick soaked up the sounds of ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▀▀███▀▄█████▀ Todd Terry. The result was the hip house ▀█████▄
▄█████▀ ▀▄▄ of 'The Wildstyle' as DJ Supreme which ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ sampled UK rappers Hijack and gave Nick ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ his first chart hit. Changing monikers ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ again - just like he did as a kid with ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ his graffiti tags - Nick became Loop Da ▀█████████
▀▀██▄ Loop who hit with 'Go With The Flow' and ▄██▀▀███ ▀ ▄
▄▄▄▄▄ ▐██▓ 'Hazel'. In '97 and ▓██▌ ████▄ ▄█▌
▀ ▀▀███▄ ▄▓▓█▓▌ '98 Nick completed over 30 Loop Da Loop ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀███████▀
▐███▌▄█████▀ remixes for artists as varied as Felix ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▄ ▄███▄█████▀ Da Housecat, Bobby Brown, Bomb The Bass ▀█████▄
▀▀███▀██████▀ ▀▄▄ and Afrika Bambaata. ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ It was in 1998 that Nick experienced ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ Damascine conversion number two. He ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ heard Stardust's 'Music Sounds Better ▀███████▀▓▄▄▄
▄▄▄ ▀▀██▄ With You' and became hooked on French ▄██▀▀■ ▀████▄
▄████▀▀▀▄ ▐██▓ house, in particular, the distinctive ▓██▌ ▐▌ ▐████
▐████▌ ▄▄▓▓█▓▌ sound of Thomas Bangalter's Roule ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀█▄▄▄███▀
▀████▄▄▄▄███████▀ label. "I thought that is what I should ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▀▀███▀▄█████▀ be doing. Stardust was a crazy ▀█████▄
▄█████▀ ▀▄▄ record and Roule records were always ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ rough, dirty but emotional." Our ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ musical magpie started making house ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ music and the Space Cowboy was born. ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
