… a different skill set
Started with a bartending job.
Over the years that followed...
managed nightclubs and bars,
directed entertainment,
designed marketing,
created sound systems
As DJ, played 18 clubs
five nights a week
2,500 performances.
20 years in the Industry
good times...
​
One thing still left to do
NomadNightClub, the bar
all kinds of music
all kinds of people
​
So, we set out late in 2019,
to preview a music concept,
test, develop, get feedback,
meet people, gather awareness…
2020 life had other ideas
​​
Until we find 'the place’...
we wanna’ explore new ideas
add live performance,
various DJ’s & Selectors,
provide excellent music
eventually food and drink
A place where nomads
feel at home.
​
Collaboration...
let's see what we can do together.

James "JK” Harper
SELECTOR or DJ
INTENTIONAL LISTENING
SONG SELECTION & PROGRAMMING
For 12 years of my life
I played music for a living
mixing one song into another
mostly dance music, mostly vinyl
I was in love with it and traveled
… just to do it
In 2020 the world was interrupted
found time to listen
rediscovered records and music
all genres, eras, tempos, rhythms
the entire song, intro to end.
​
Programming took a new direction
toward a different kind of DJ...
a Selector.
it's about song selection
It's about content over context.
We’re propagating something
a new style of playing music...
for listening and dancing
Selections not confined...
by tempo or era or genre
Creating a music environment...
a conversation, a connection.
​
Not just dance music...
more music, a vibe.
puts you in the past...
puts you in the moment.
fresh and unexpected
It'll, elevate your spirits...
put a smile on your face...
You'll "feel" like dancing.
