Nicholas

Nicholas (Nicholas Iammatto) is a pivotal figure in the modern Italian house scene, specifically known for his work that blends classic US deep house influences with a European disco sensibility. Emerging prominently in the late 2000s and early 2010s, he gained significant underground traction through his 'No More Hits' imprint, where he released a series of highly sought-after edits and original tracks that championed a raw, analog-heavy aesthetic.

His sound identity is characterized by the use of vintage hardware, particularly the MPC, which informs his signature 'swing' and unquantized rhythmic feel. Career-wise, he has maintained a prolific output across respected labels like 4Lux, Church, and his own imprints, evolving from a pure 'edit' specialist into a sophisticated producer of full-length works like 'Ghetto Opera'. His cultural position is that of a 'producer's producer,' admired for his crate-digging depth and his ability to maintain the 'dusty' sonic profile of 90s house while keeping the energy relevant for contemporary dancefloors. He is frequently associated with the 'beatdown' and 'nu-disco' movements, serving as a stylistic peer to artists who prioritize groove and texture over high-gloss digital clarity.
