Artist
FLETCH
Name: Henrik Nielsen
AKA: Fletch / Mikeze
Born in April 1968 in Aalborg, Denmark.
Label manager / Artist : Cheetah Play
Henrik fell in love with music at a very early age and got my first release in 1993 on Kenneth Bagers Coma Records. The tune was a jungle track.
He pursued house music and made a 2 track single release that came out on Copenhagen Spark Records, which was run by Mickey (TBM1) Billberg who also introduced him to Limbo Records at that time. Henriks favourite track from Limbo was Gypsy "Funk De Fino". No parts was available from that time so everything has been made from the ground- even the vocal "sample".
"I tried to keep it as close to the fantastic original- but with a house-twist.
The A-side was "The Party" and the B-side was "Space", which was a tribute to Space in Ibiza (Largest and most legendary club in Ibiza).
"I remember standing in line early one morning outside the Space Club. An elderly man standing in the door looked at me and asked: "What do you have under your arm? - I have made a track called Space which is a tribute to the place here. He invited me inside and took a picture of me and gave me a 1 year free pass to Space- I did not know it was the owner and mayor of Ibiza, Pepe Rosello." "I entered the club and gave the first DJ my record. It was in September and he was HUNGRY for new tunes. He put it directly on his turntable ... listened for 15 seconds ... and mixed it in !!! The floor went crazy, and a few weeks later a fax came in from Positiva wanting to license both tracks. I had a few vinyls left and had given one to José Padilla (Cafe Del Mar DJ) ... One night José told me that one of his friends would like a copy. I asked his friend if he was a DJ and played around Ibiza. He smiled and said "yes - here and there". I thought - hmm well ok then he got my last copy.
He walked away and I asked José who he was? It was Paul Daley from Leftfield ... I did not know, even though I was a big fan of them !!!
From '94 to 2002, I did a bunch of remixes: : https://www.discogs.com/artist/32147- Fletch?filter_anv=0&type=Credits
I made my own record company called Bim Bam Recordings together with a good friend from primary school (Jan Mathiasen).
We released the first record with DJ Noir : https://www.discogs.com/artist/148640-Noir
We released tracks with Beatchuggers and our biggest hit was "How Many Times feat. Eric Clapton. That got signed to ffrr / ULTRA etc. etc. .. by the way in a Fletch Remix. https://www.discogs.com/artist/55175-Beatchuggers
As a DJ Fletch prefers House and Downtempo Lounge stuff
"I love mixing old and new and love playing music, people do not know.
Under the name Mikeze, Henrik made an album called Mikeze- synth, breakbeat, slow and surprising tracks.
