About Chicane

Chicane, the brainchild of British musician, composer, and producer Nick Bracegirdle, has been a seminal force in the electronic music scene since the late 1990s. While often associated with progressive trance, Chicane’s sound effortlessly transcends strict genre boundaries, blending ambient textures, uplifting melodies, and powerful vocal collaborations that give his work a broad appeal, resonating even with fans of melodic rock and pop. His signature style is characterised by lush soundscapes, intricate arrangements, and an emotive quality that sets his tracks apart.

Bracegirdle burst onto the scene with the seminal track “Offshore” in 1997, quickly followed by the equally iconic “Saltwater” featuring Máire Brennan of Clannad. However, it was his 2000 collaboration with Bryan Adams on “Don’t Give Up” that truly cemented his place in mainstream consciousness, reaching number one on the UK singles chart. Other notable hits include “Halcyon,” “Stoned in Love” with Tom Jones, and “Middledistancerunner,” showcasing his versatility and knack for crafting memorable, anthemic tunes. Chicane’s live performances are legendary for their dynamic energy, often incorporating live musicians and vocalists, adding a rich, organic layer to his electronic productions.
