During the last 15 years he has been responsible for his own rise in two different territories, something that very few can claim to have achieved. From being a headliner in his native South Africa to a reputable dj in Dubai, a favoured destination for DJ's to play where on a weekly basis you will find huge names behind the decks. Peppermint Club was the biggest club night in the region purely by their weekly line up and door count you can understand why. They could host Carl Cox, Paul van Dyk & Steve Lawler all in the same month.

Playing in front of a weekly crowd to an average of 1500+ and having played for up to 20000 back in South Africa, he is not scared of any crowd as he takes it all in releasing his energy onto everyone else. Nelson has packed his record bag for destinations including gigs in Miami (WMC 2007, 2008 & 2009), London (AKA, Whitehouse, Scala, etc), Lisbon (Queens), Moscow, St Petersburg, Belgium (Cafe d Anvers), Beirut, Shanghai and more.
