When, in 1996, Nalin & Kane were composing their worldwide hit "Beachball", Andry had, together with his then partner Kane, already published several successful 12inches under the pseudonyms Nalin Inc. and Yellow Cab. His name was synonymous with a fresh approach in the field of housemusic. Andry's gigs as a DJ have since the mid-ninetees lead him into all the international top class clubs such as "Space" on Ibiza, "Twilo" in New York or "Pacha" in Buenos Aires, as well as to the major regulars and festivals as e.g. "Renaissance" or "Mayday". Whether in Asia, North and South America, Australia or Europe - the Nalin Sound is on all continents at least as much in demand as on his home base in North Rhine Westphalia which, more precisely, is the "Tribehouse" in Neuss. Meanwhile, he had also established the trend setting record label Superfly Records which helped to launch the careers of today's DJ heavyweights like Moguai, Phil Fuldner or Oliver Moldan, to mention just a few. But after "Beachball", which from 1997 sold over half a million singles worldwide, nothing was like before. The famous English Mixmag wrote:
"German House has never sounded so sophisticated and sensual". Kylie Minogue, Frankie goes to Hollywood, Sven Väth, Steve Lawler, Jam & Spoon and numerous others knocked at the studio door asking for remixes. Nalin's golden hand turned Da Hool's "Meet her at the Loveparade" into a superhit and made it the hymn of an entire housegeneration. After having released "Beachball", he was hugely successful with solo production and with his projects Nalin & Kane, Nalin Inc. and, from 2003 with Bush II Bush.
Today, Andry Nalin is one of the most important protagonists of the international Underground House Sounds, both as a soloist as well as with his Bush II Bush project. His particular sound pulsates between Techno, Electro and Tech-House; it intergrates the very best of these styles and effortlessly glides across the somewhat narrow bounds in this country.
This single, his first release on Plastic City, is the official „Die Wellenreiter“ hymne (taken from the compilation "
Die Wellenreiter 001 (Barcelona), mixed by Andry Nalin"" and it stands for: high quality music, outstanding parties, exclusive locations, fashion, lifestyle and interesting people. Founded in 2006, Franka Siepmann, Markus Wolf, Oliver Ochs and Andry Nalin bundled the experiences of their work fields and decided to create a concept, that exeeds all boundaries between cities, music styles and even continents. Climax of this concept is the music & fashion sea adventure that Siepmann, Wolf, Ochs and Nalin organized, happening one week long in september this year. On the AIDAcara, an ocean cruiser of the Aida fleet, 1300 lyfestylers will experience the most impressing party of their lifes, supported by 20 international Top-DJs. Furthermore “Die Wellenreiter” did a clubtour through Germany’s club landscape with stops at Spindler & Klatt (Berlin), zuHouse Club (Dortmund), Cocoon (Frankfurt), Treibhaus (Neuss), Loveparade (Dortmund) and some more.
