We Are Jersey A Message From Your Publishers Photography by Brandon Huggins We Are Jersey Magazine is a subsidiary company birthed out of the parent business entitled Jersey Turn’t Up Enter- tainment. Having achieved rising success within only two years of business, the owners wanted to create something that would expand their networking repertoire while promoting positive talent both locally and abroad. The idea of creat- ing We Are Jersey Magazine began when co- CEOs, Daniel Banks & Bridget Papino, were featured in the July 2014 is- sue of another magazine company. After discussion with the owner of that magazine, as well as experiencing the positive responses that exposure generated towards their entertain- ment business, they decided to begin a magazine company of their own that would target a new type of entertainment promoting style. We Are Jersey Magazine’s goal is designed to provide exposure, references and resources that will in- fluence all those aspiring to do something positive with the talents they possess.

We Are Jersey Nicky P nicky p Music is the only sound that drives him, and with that, up and coming DJ/producer Nickyp is ready, set and determined to play the game and shoot it to the high score. His relentless energy reaches far beyond his home base of New Jersey, as Nicholas Po- toczny is the roar of the underground. His story has begun to un- fold, as he shares with us his hopes for his promising career and future. Few things other than music would be able to lock the attention of a young Nicholas. Growing up a curious teenager, he explored the entire spectrum of music before finding his one true love in big room-electro, heavy bass house and elements of uplifting trance. Fascinated by the big, bulky distortion of alternative metal and rock, the transition to EDM was easily made. As America witnessed a renaissance in electronic dance music, Nickyp was caught by the beat, exploring the endless possibilities of technol- ogy. And that’s how this story unfolds. It all started with a kick. The kick he got from Fedde le Grand’s set at Electric Zoo in 2010. Seeing the Dutchman rock, the Pioneer gear and ruling the crowd, was nothing less but his own dream coming to life, so Nickyp suf- fered a love at first sound. From that moment on, he was hooked. He bought his own CDJ’s, made the clubs his weekend hang-out and taught himself the tricks of the DJ’s he witnessed. Having28 We Are Jersey Magazine NOVEMBER 2015 www.jerseyturntupent.com

We Are Jersey Nicky P mastered the fine art of DJ’ing, it was time for Nickyp to meet the crowds and take his talents outside, onto the dance floor. And so he did. New York City nightlife was calling, and answer the call he did. Rocking the decks of NYC’s finest clubs, from Pacha and Gansevoort to Highline Ballroom, VIP Room, Hudson Terrace and Webster Hall, no venue was safe to the raw talents of Nickyp. The night lights for- ever lured, and held Nickyp in a tight grip to this very day, enraptured from the first until the very last beat. Storming Manhattan’s finest rooms, facing ever-growing, maddening crowds, he has proven to be an outstanding DJ, with stamina for the bigger, better and greater things the scene has to offer. With ‘Hard Wired’ doing its trick on Pop Rok Muzik and his latest bit of studio magic ‘Impulse’ (supported by the likes of Sick Individuals, Justin Prime and M.I.K.E.), it’s clear that Nickyp is no one-trick pony. Producing and playing out his own sounds offer him a freedom like nothing else. His genre-bending stu- dio work as well as his creative ways of continuously surprising the crowd tell us there’s many more goodies to come from this rising star. Nickyp is a name to see, remember and keep an eye on.We Are Jersey Magazine NOVEMBER 2015 www.jerseyturntupent.com 31
