When Nickodemus and Mariano started the Turntables on the Hudson (TOTH) parties in 1998 it was one of the first late night outdoor events in NYC. With the addition of

In the past ten years TOTH took their beats from parking garages, lofts & boats to residencies at renowned NY clubs and venues like The Frying Pan, Opaline, Shelter, The Brooklyn Loft, Cielo, Element, Hiro Ballroom, SOB's and Spiegelworld.

TOTH��s music policy has always been maximum funk and absolute fun. One can easily hear home-born genres like hip-hop, funk, house and soul played back to back with Latin, Afrobeat and Eastern European gypsy sounds. In addition to hosting live guests in the past including Brazilian Girls,

Additionally Turntables on the Hudson has 9 volumes of music that were made by members of the crew and from friends in NY and abroad such as Zeb, Nickodemus, Nappy G, Quantic, Candela Allstars, Raeo, Sabo, Jay Rogriguez and Groove Collective are frequent contributors to the TOTH sound, and the albums have sold tens of thousands of units worldwide.

After nearly 15 years of doing the party NYC, Nickodemus has begun to branch out the Turntables on the Hudson brand internationally, throwing parties such as Turntables on the Thames (London), On the Nile (Cairo), On the Seine (France), On The Danube (Budapest), On The Rimac (Lima), and many other countries worldwide. Mid-2012 found Nickodemus starting a monthly ��Turntables on Las Ramblas�� event in Barcelona with fellow DJs Sujinho, Pablo Sanchez and Andyloop. Despite being known for its throbbing late night Techno parties, The Turntables on Las Ramblas events found instant success and a scene began to revolve around the party, so much so that Nickodemus decided to dedicate the next volume of the long running Turntables on the Hudson series of albums to this very special Barcelona party.

On his instinctive travels & paths of rhythm, Nickodemus comes back from Barcelona with a full compilation of unreleased songs from friends & family affiliated with the monthly Turntables on las RAMBLAS party! Like the Turntables on the Hudson parties & compilations in NYC, latin, funk, house & global grooves mirror the party atmosphere as well as the diversity of Barcelona's constantly changing demographics & soundscape.

Highlights include: Colombian funk bomb “Palenque Barcelona" by Los Chicos Altos Vs. Palo Q'Sea, DJ VADIM's very catchy hip hop remix of “Fly Away" by Mariella, Novalima's biggest song off of their new album Macaco (ESL Music),
