DJ Ruma and DJ Nicky-Du-Coeur established 'Nuance' way back in 1993 in Cornwall, UK, when as young bucks we started listening to the Radio 1 show - DJ Pete Tong's 'Essential Mix, plus DJ Danny Rampling’s ‘love groove dance party’. We loved enjoying beers whilst listening to dance tunes whilst playing around with the EQ levels on our cheap Stereo pretending we were real DJ’s!! Then we started taking note of DJ names, Record labels and tunes that we liked. We soon started listening to refined music like 'Renaissance' by DJ Sasha and John Digweed, ‘Goa Mix’ by Paul Oakenfold, artists like Deep Dish, and tunes released on Positiva & Perfecto records etc. The list goes on! We then started recording mix tapes and then bought some Technics 1210s and building up our vinyl collection. We essentially became bedroom DJs but also took all opportunities to play out at lots of private house and ‘phase-2 parties’. DJ Nicky-Du-Coeur has musical influences from house to deep progressive house. Nicky is now based in Brittany, France. DJ Ruma has musical influences from jungle & techno, to house, and now melodic house. Ruma is now based in Bicester, Oxfordshire. ‘Nuance’ was born when we wanted a common platform from which we could play and record our mixes for everyone to enjoy. Sadly some of the early Nuance cassette tape recordings have become lost in the depths of time, but our drive, ambition, and feeling for this fantastic music has never been lost, and is now back for revival! We have also adopted our Oxford friend – DJ Dangsterapper, who adds a bit of a different musical angle with his mixes which include techno, tech-house, old skool tunes and breaks. All in all we just want to share the love. So kick back with your favourite drink and enjoy! Nuance Xxx

DJ Ruma started his interest in dance music way back in the early 1990's, whilst growing up down in Penzance, Cornwall. The dance scene was all the rage, and the most happening scene to get involved in. Ruma was influenced at first by listening to his school mates jungle tapes, to the likes of DJ's like SY, Ratty, Ellis Dee, Top Buzz, and Carl Cox. He went to parties like Obsession, Fantazia, and any local parties playing tunes. His walls were covered in rave fliers as did any raver worth his salt. By the age of 17 Ruma was listening to anything with a beat, including a young Pete Tong on Radio1. Ruma used to sit in his sisters caravan at his mothers farm, with his good younger friend Nicky Matthews, and they pretended to mix the tunes themselves by sliding the EQ- bass faders up and down, and dropping the volume out and in again!! This simple stuff felt great :-) At aged 18, Ruma went off to University, and joined the 'dance society'. Basically a bunch of dance loving teens wanting to enjoy themselves ripping up the dancefloors around Oxford to the sounds of techno, and trance. After three crazy, blurring years, and at aged 21, Ruma returned to Cornwall, and started hanging out with his old mate Nicky Matthews again, who by then had started DJ-ing vinyl, but played really happy vocal house. This was a far cry from the Jungle-Techno-Trance Ruma was used to partying to. Within weeks, Nicky Matthews (aka DJ Nicky du Coeur) was teaching Ruma how to mix house vinyls on his cheap set of Gemini belt drives, at last they were dabbling with the real deal. Several crappy flower picking jobs later, they had enough money to get a second-hand set of the infamous hallowed DJ vinyl mixing decks, the direct drive 'Technics 1210's' (the wheels of steel!!). They thought they were the bees-and-eez, and blagged their way into mixing at lots of house parties, and some 'phase-2' parties, as well as running a few of their own 'NUANCE' parties too. Oh those were the dayzzz...... ;-) Sadly somehow this all fizzled out........ and the next 20 years saw a lot of growing up, girlfriends, separate ways, jobs, etc. Throughout those years Ruma continued to listen to dance music, and his tastes just evolved into more refined, and quality genres listening to the likes of Sasha, Digweed, and Warren. He even went to see Sasha and Digweed play at the Renaissance Album 10th birthday party. All along Ruma has kept in contact with his mate DJ Nicky du Coeur, who has always hinted and attempted to persuade Ruma to get back into DJ-ing. After nearly 20 years, technology had changed, entering the digital world of software and controllers. A few years back, Ruma dabbled at mixing on Nicky du Coeur's Hercules controller which whetted his appetite to get back into spinning the tunes...... At the end of 2017 Ruma bought an entry level Traktor controller, using Traktor Pro software. And with the loving support of his mate Nicky du Coeur, Ruma finally had everything to brush off his fingers, and spin the tunes again!!! So after a mammoth 20-year break, I am happy to announce, DJ RUMA IS BACK..!!!! Albeit a bit rusty, plus getting used to this new equipment, new software, new tunes etc........So check out my first mix 'Dream Resurrection'. It is not perfect, and has a fair few glitches, but I loved the tunes I chose, and I hope you like the journey. Please go gentle with your comments ;-)
