Nathan Coles
Kontakt is back and bringing with them the house legend that is
Nathan Coles. He initially earnt his stripes arranging the ‘Release’
warehouse parties with Mr. C in the early 90’s, if that doesn’t scream
surefire rave heaven then nothing will. This guy learnt his trade
through the heady years of 90’s raving and has been round the block
more times than a 9 year old on a BMX. His unrivalled energy,
knowledge of the decks and masters degree in partying add up to
one seriously unmissable night of techno delight.
