The Running Man

Named after a top three Arnie movie (Predator’s number one, right?); the dance move perfected in socks on a polished wooden floor watching Normski’s Dance Energy in the 90s; and the 10 year hiatus from music when he ran 10 marathons... The Running Man is the alias of Cardiff-based DJ and producer Doug Nicholls. Having started out playing hip hop, Mo Wax and Ninja Tune records and late 90s drum’n’bass, Doug found a happy home with the breaks sound that emerged in the early 2000s. He spent a decade DJing in clubs around the UK, as well as being resident and promoter at the infamous Sumo nights in Cardiff’s Clwb Ifor Bach. Doug's lifetime love of music influences his sound, which in his words "bridges the sofa and the club".
