Best friends since school, Andy and Nick ran a mobile disco together and hunted for bargain 12 inch vinyl in their small town childhood home near Bristol. At this point they had no idea that in the future Andy would supply beats and tour the world with the band Portishead before being voted one of the top dj's on the planet nor that Nick would go on to set up the XL and Positiva labels becoming one of the UKs most respected dance and electronic music industry executives. From small sweaty basements to festival plays at Parklife ,Bestival, Boardmasters, Shindig, Wilderness, Eastern Electrics, Kendal Calling, Bluedot, Festival No6,Beautiful Days and more it’s been quite a journey for Reach Up Disco Wonderland! When you add to that the spreading of those classic Reach Up  good vibes in clubs around the country and further afield in Lisbon, Berlin ,Lagos and (for several summers on the bounce) at Carl Cox’ Ibiza residency it’s something quite beautiful!

In the world of records and releases there have now been three critically acclaimed Reach Up Disco Wonderland compilation albums on the widely respected BBE label- all expertly selected by Andy. Meanwhile Nick's musical collaborations with Full Intention, Birdee, Barbara Tucker, Dave Spoon and Steve Mac have all done good things…from daytime Radio One to heavyweight club DJ support from luminaries such as Fatboy Slim. Nicks remix CV ins’t too shabby either with Mel C, Kylie, Degrees of Motion, De’Lacey and Xpansions all getting the Nick Reach Up treatment-with several of them flying high in the club charts. Not that the chaps creative endeavours reside only in the clubs. Andy's re-edit of Will Sessions & Amp Fiddler feat. Dames Brown - Lost Without You notched up a tune of the month accolade in Mixmag also.

With Reach Up Disco Wonderland soaring into 2025, one question lingers: after decades of DJ experience, is the best still yet to come?
