Nico Hartt is a San Diego, California based trance music producer. As a former guitar player in a punk rock band, he was introduced to the sounds of the Warp Brothers, Armin Van Buuren, and Tiesto that led him down the musical path to arrive at trance. He was drawn to the feelings, good melodies, and versatility of trance in all forms – uplifting, dark, hard, etc. A particular inspirational song was Gareth Emery’s “Sanctuary” Club Mix and after hearing that Nico instantly knew he wanted to make that music.
