in the past he has been dubbed -the godfather of the ibiza anthem- but chicane mastermind nick bracegirdle has come a long way since the sun drenched balearic shores first throbbed to the sound of what is now recognised by many as the archetypal chill out classic offshore . with over 15 top 10 s, a no.1 with bryan adams and with over 2 million compilations under his belt - there are not many dance artists who can claim to have hits over a 10 year period. chicane was later cast further into the public consciousness in 1999 with the release of the epic saltwater which featured maire brennan of clannad. then in 2000 with the number 1 smash hit don t give up featuring the gravely vocal tones of legendary rocker bryan adams, nick found himself a regular fixture on radio. the release of his second album behind the sun followed reaching the top 10 and becoming a major success across europe
