Chicane is the most famous alias for British songwriter and producer Nick Bracegirdle. He first attracted attention as part of the duo Disco Citizens, with the UK Top 40 hit "Right Here Right Now" in 1995. They continued to work together and remixed their own track "Offshore", which had been released under their Chicane guise as their second release. The remix by Disco Citizens gave them huge commercial success and entered the UK Singles Chart at number 14 in December, 1996.

Bracegirdle later continued as a solo artist and enlisted Maire Brennan from Clannad for a remake of their hit song "Theme From Harry's Game" titled "Saltwater". It reached the UK Top 10 and became an international hit. In March, 2000, his collaboration with Bryan Adams on "Don't Give Up" finally gave Bracegirdle a number 1 hit in his native country. To date, Chicane has scored 11 UK Top 40 singles with five of those being with featured artists.

Discover Chicane's unique blend of electronic music that combines ambient sounds with dance floor-friendly beats. With his impressive discography and collaborations with renowned artists, Chicane continues to captivate audiences worldwide.

Chicane releases a new version of his 1997 album. 

If you know the original this will send shivers down the spine, if you don't, you'll still get there. From the opening track Early - like awakening after the first romantic date - it serves as duvet on a cold day and a breeze in the heat. Strings and orchestration by Joe Duddell. 

The strings and orchestration scored and conducted by Joe Duddell (Elbow, James, New Order, Alison Moyet and then some) become the flesh of the tracks; as if Far From the Maddening Crowd had decided a new diet was in order. Offshore DC, still rattles the dance rhythms, and there's an inking, madly, of Kraftwerk. Red Skies has a mysterious quality. In all the tracks the warmth and depth from real players; Halle and Liverpool Orchestra's, captures something AI can't - emotion.
