Dedication. Commitment. Passion.
These three elements have followed Nick Varon throughout his two-decade journey in the world of electronic music.
From his early days as a resident DJ at the iconic Venue Club in his hometown, Athens, Nick’s combination of professionalism and genuine passion for the underground house scene helped him carve out a name for himself. His ability to warm up the dancefloor for some of the biggest names in electronic music — while maintaining humility and precision — set him apart early on.
Even when he found himself sharing the decks with his idols at a young age, Nick remained composed. He understood the role of the warm-up DJ: to craft the perfect atmosphere and prepare the crowd for the headliner, not to overshadow them.
His skillful selections didn’t go unnoticed. Industry heavyweights took note — with Nick Warren famously calling him “the most underrated DJ in the world” in DJ Mag’s Top 100. But it was Hernán Cattáneo who truly embraced Nick’s forward-thinking sets. What began as an invitation to join Hernán on his Greek tours soon blossomed into a long-standing musical partnership and friendship. To date, the duo has performed more than 60 shows together across four continents (Europe, America, Asia, and Africa), a number that speaks volumes about their chemistry behind the decks.
Nick’s international presence continues to grow, with performances ranging from Bali to Amsterdam, New York to Tokyo. Meanwhile, his evolution as a producer is equally impressive. With regular releases on Sudbeat and a growing discography, his production career is shaping up to be as influential as his live performances.
Loyal to melodic and atmospheric elements yet constantly evolving, Nick has developed a signature sound — a blend of deep emotion and modern underground house that resonates with diverse audiences. This distinctive style has led him to share the stage with legends across generations, including Sasha, John Digweed, Sven Väth, Dubfire, Solomun, Lee Burridge, Âme — and many more.
From iconic venues like Crobar and Pacha in New York City, Mansion in Miami, Blue Parrot in Mexico, to Greek powerhouses like Cavo Paradiso, Scorpios, and Alemagou in Mykonos — Nick has consistently delivered captivating performances. His appearances at top-tier festivals such as Creamfields, BPM, Untold, and ADE, along with his residency at NOM in Barcelona, further demonstrate his status as a globally respected artist.
Nick Varon’s journey is defined not only by his talent, but by his unwavering passion, consistency, and ability to evolve. And for fans of underground house music — both new and seasoned — that journey is only getting more exciting.
