Well known and respected dance musician Chicane did not have an easy time lately, getting his creative output to the people and making a good living off of it: His album easy to assemble leaked online and was heavily pirated resulting in thousands of CD sales from which Nick never saw a dime. Now that he has produced his fourth album, he is hitting the musical universe again, this time all on his own with his newly founded label (Modena Records).

As you can read on the billboard site:

Now, Chicane is trying to rebound with a self-financed, rock-influenced fourth album, “Somersault” (Modena), out July 23 in the United Kingdom. “I’ve invested close to $400,000 so far, raised by selling my Ferrari and remortgaging the house,” Bracegirdle says. “I’ve always played live with a sizable group of musicians, but now I’m financing everything myself. It is a challenge. The group and crew cost $8,000 per show.”

Being a huge Chicane fan myself for years I hope everything works out fine for Nick this time and that the album rocks so hard that it’s easy for him to get back his Ferarri in no time! I don’t begrudge it to him. Rock on Dude!
