NIK WESTON [Mukatsuku / Guynamukat]
Nik Weston is a DJ, music producer, label head at Mukatsuku Records and a music buyer for Juno Records.
As a DJ, he's played over 30 countries and supported Gilles Peterson, Jazzanova, and others. Since 2001 Weston has put out over 100 releases on various labels in the US, Europe and Japan, and over 27 releases on his own Mukatsuku Records.
Nik first entered the London dance music scene in 1994, with the club night Phony and 3 years down the line Mukatsuku was born at The Clinic in Soho. Running for 2 years it earned London Evening Standard's 'club night of the year' with Nik on selection duties.
The Mukatsuku Crew continued to find success as DJs and in 2006 Nik started Mukatsuku Records, a vinyl only label on which to imprint the Mukatsuku sound. The label has seen releases from Amp Fiddler, Mixed Grill and Jazztronik to name a few, as well as serving as a platform for Nik's own series of edits and productions under the Mukat and Guynamukat aliases. 2012 saw the launch of a separate label for the Mukat Edits.
As a buyer for Juno, Nik is also a tastemaker. He was a key player in the promotion and distribution of Japanese jazz dance, soul-jazz and electronic music through the 1990s into the 2000s and the present day. Weston has also worked as an advisor and promoter for labels such as Verve Records, Impulse, Sonar Kollektiv, Schema Records, and Ricky Tick amongst others.
