Nikola Baytala

Did anyone see this guy? He was on the Beatport stage from 2 to 4 - kind of a scruffy-looking dude with a beard. Anyway, I wasn't expecting very much from anybody today aside from Carl Cox (who delivered in spades, by the way), but I was really impressed with Baytala's sense of build and release. His track selection was superb, his mixing skills were great, and he actually spun vinyl. He did have a couple records skip, but he covered well and still managed to mix perfectly every time. I actually stayed for the whole set, which I really wasn't expecting to do.

I think part of the reason that the next DJ got such a great reception at first was due to him warming the crowd up.

Nikola is great. Met him 2 years ago at WMC after he did an opening set for the Hallucienda party.
Very nice guy good to see him getting more recognition

He played well... on vinyl mostly too! He was a very nice guy.

very underrated dj, the head of listed productions couldn't say enough good things about him. apparently he's quite popular in SF
