Ben Nicky is a British DJ/producer best known for the Headf**k mashup series and an "openminded" mainstage approach that mixes hard trance, hardstyle, big-room, and uplifting in the same set without regard for genre boundaries. His catalogue spans Xtravaganza Recordings, Reaching Altitude, and his own Lethal Recordings imprint, and he has performed at Tomorrowland and the major UK festival circuit through the 2010s and into the 2020s.
The harder end of trance — Subculture, Pure Trance NEON, Kearnage — and the harder mainstage circuit overlap on his sets, and his collaboration network places him alongside Bryan Kearney, Simon Patterson, and the broader UK harder-trance scene.
Sound Style
Hard trance and harder peak-time material with mashup-driven set construction — the openminded approach treats genre boundaries as something to ignore in favour of pure energy.
