A guy (Nola) walks into a bar in the Soho district of Manhattan, sits down, orders a drink, and hears pulsating rhythms that compels him to enter the sweat-drenched, after-hour debauchery that would become Nola & Nicola's first meeting. The funk was courtesy of Nicola and his bag of records. With a handshake after the show, the exchange of contact details, a stolen record of Nicola's (courtesy of Nola), and 14 missed calls later, they found themselves playing together one random Sunday afternoon at a mutual friend's apartment. Both claim that all subsequent meeting will be an attempt to recover each other's records that had been "missing" from that first Sunday afternoon of playing together. They're still meeting...and playing...and suspicious of one another.

All jokes aside, these two love to play. Word on the street is that Nola goes home every night and mixes for 6-8 hours (seriously). And if weren't for the strenuous demands of Nicola's 9-very late, he would undoubtedly be right beside him. Both exhibit very distinctive methods of mixing that mesh together rather seamlessly on the dancefloor. In 2009, they popped up in Nashville, Austin, and, of course, their hometown of New York.
