Chicane - Sunstroke (Citizen’s Remix)
Chicane is an electronic dance music act, and the project of English musician and record producer Nick Bracegirdle. He was born on 28 February 1971, in Chalfont St Giles, Buckinghamshire.[1]
Chicane is known for the singles “Offshore”, an Ibiza dance anthem included in thousands of compilations in both chill-out and dance versions; “Saltwater”, which featured vocals by Clannad member Máire Brennan and is ranked among the best-ever trance singles[attribution needed]; and the UK number-one hit “Don’t Give Up”, featuring vocals by Bryan Adams, and also a top ten hit on singles charts across Europe.
Far from the Maddening Crowds, Chicane’s debut album, is still considered a seminal release among the trance music community,[2] while the second album, Behind the Sun, was certified gold in the UK. In 2007, after the hindrance of an ultimately unreleased album in the intervening time, Somersault was released on Bracegirdle’s independent record label.
In addition, Bracegirdle also worked under the aliases Disco Citizens, producing a handful of less radio-friendly, vocal-less tracks with a stronger progressive house sound. Working with singer Vanessa St. James and producer Mr. Joshua, Bracegirdle was part of the Mr. Joshua Presents Espiritu project, known for the song “In Praise of the Sun”, released with both English and French vocals. Nick has also gone by the name “Rebel Transcanner” to produce a remix of Tomski’s “14 Hours To Save The Earth.” Nick Bracegirdle has also used the alias Sitvac to produce a one-time single, “Wishful Thinking.”
