Nick Hollywood
runs the Brighton-based independent record label and publisher Freshly Squeezed. Formed in 2005, among many international claims to fame, the label has had much success licensing music to US TV series' and films (including Ugly Betty, Knocked Up and MTV's The Paper) as well as major games (LittleBIGplanet for Sony Playstation) and advertising (O2 and Nike).
Nick also compiled what Mixmag described as “electro swings first landmark”, the best-selling compilation White Mink : Black Cotton, which became the CD series to launch the electro swing genre in the UK. Courvoisier joined as a sponsor in 2011 with White Mink going from CD to nightclub to high-production live event curating stages at 11 UK festivals including Glastonbury's Shangri-La main stage and Bestival's Spiegeltent. A month-long residency at the Edinburgh Festival closed summer 2011.
Nick is also a club DJ and musician (Lemon) and was the promoter behind London’s seminal Club Montepulciano night which was described by Time Out magazine in 2004 as “one of the things you have to do before you can call yourself a real Londoner”. Club M pioneered both the proto-burlesque and alternative cabaret scenes from the mid 90s, as well as coming to define lounge music with a series of massively influential compilation albums.
