Deep Techno Miami DJ and Producer Nikki Decnu Promotes ‘Chillism’
If you wanted to end any war just have the red cross send in a sound system with house music pumping 24/7. Both sides unite.
When I was a kid I came to South Beach, I didn’t like it. No waves. No surfing. Funny enough, I rollerbladed down the boardwalk toward Ocean Drive and saw something that quickly changed my outlook on the sun drenched town. Sitting down, on the rock wall and finishing a rapidly melting ice cream sandwich, I saw something I’ll never forget - A girl rollerblading toward me wearing a net. Yes, a net. Like a fishing net. Rollerblades on her feet, brown skin, undulating sweat and fashion. To me, the complete ensemble. Besides a cd walkman in her left hand she had a bag across her shoulder. Something that would give me a clue to who/what/when/where/and why this chick just flipped my whole definition of what it means to live life upside down. It was a store bag. A store bag from from Uncle Sam’s Music. The bag said “Washington Ave.” and I just came from there so I figured I’d walk “The strip” and see if I could find it. After all, I was 16 with nothing better to do.
Since these were the days before smart technology I had to walk up and down Washington Ave, past the Cameo, back and forth passing my “The Shop” and even club Mansion, only to find my new holy grail of music stores: Uncle Sam’s. It was then, I started to listen to the music. The store would let you play anything you wanted to buy before you bought it. Vinyl, Cds, even cassette tapes from mix tapes that were left by the entrance, along with flyers for local parties and DJs. I took everything. I even loved the way that place smelled of burning incense and old vinyl sleeves.
The great thing about Miami, is if you are tall like me you can get into the 18+ shows with little to no resistance. Thanks to the free promos at Uncle Sam’s, I found the scene I was looking for. Ever since then I’ve been addicted to the deep sounds of the first purchases from Uncle Sam’s. DJ Nemo’s Miami Deeper Lounge (Deep Touch Records) which was a recommendation by the shopkeep for a “Newbie,” and one from Doc Martin which was a compilation called Mix the Vibe: Sublevel maneuvers. Everything from that Sublevel label, although West Coast, style really stuck with me as a person. This new music changed they way I dressed, the food that I ate, and the places I soon traveled in Europe.
