Known for his twisted antics, quick wit and uncanny ability to charm and offend everyone in his path, Nick VC's sets echo his tendency to make you laugh or cry. This funky little number was inspired by the two weeks he spent in New York City running in the annual marathon, trick-or-treating and studying to become the world's next financial mastermind, followed by a birthday weekend in Berlin (where else?). Originally from Johannesburg, Nick was self-schooled between the brick-and-mortar of Georgetown's legendary 32-Q basement before developing his taste and talent in London. Here "El Señor de los Platos" offers a serving of his delectable home cooking that's a sure finger-licker for every palate. He tastefully integrates a Malian jazz duo, an Ethiopian arranger, and his favorite Willy Wonka scene into the recipe. While this gobstopper is not everlasting, it bounces back and forth between sweet, sour and hard tech-house grooves.
Deaf Co. is extremely grateful to Nick for taking time out of his busy schedule to give us this gem. We should have let the Cat In The Hat throw those CFA books out the 14-story window when we had the chance. After all, they're the only thing standing in the way of him becoming the world's next great South African DJ…YAYAWEWAH!
