Kid Creme is the best-known moniker of Nicolas Scaravilli, an internationally renowned house DJ, producer, and remixer closely affiliated with Junior Jack and the Defected label collective. Born in 1974 to an Italian family in Brussels, Belgium, Scaravilli first became involved with the electronic dance music scene in the early '90s. During this period, he and DJ Murvin Jay (i.e., Francis Shabard) were the resident DJs of Club XXX, a house music night at the Brussels club Theatre of Vaudeville; he worked as an assistant engineer at Let's Go Studios, where he met and befriended his future DJ partner, Junior Jack (i.e., Vito Lucente); and he set up his own home studio.
During the mid-'90s Scaravilli founded his own label, DTM Recordz, on which he released his own music under the SDP moniker (Back to the House of Pain, 1996; Nevralgia, 1997; Logical Drums, 1997), and he also released music under the Scaravilli moniker via the label Drop Dead Discs, most notably a 1996 remix of L.T. Project's "Boom." Additionally, there were a couple Junior Vasquez remixes ("Reap [What You Sow]," 1995; "Lift Me Up"), the latter of which was an early collaboration with Lucente before he became known as Junior Jack. In the late '90s, Scaravilli remixed Lustral's "Everytime" (1997) on Hooj Choons and teamed with Psychogene (i.e., David Garcia) as Sharpside for Critical Freaks (1999), the first of a series of releases on Records Deluxe.
Scaravilli debuted as Kid Creme in 2000 with "Austin's Groove" on Jalapeno Records. Remixed the following year by Erick Morillo, who added vocals by Shawnee Taylor, the track was released in the United Kingdom on Ink Records and in the United States on Subliminal Records, quickly becoming an international club hit. The next couple Kid Creme productions, "Down and Under" and "Hypnotising," were also released internationally and proved popular over the course of 2002 and 2003. There were also a few productions as Niquid (Background, 2001; Italian Style, Vol. 3, 2001; Saxaphobia, 2002) and Monkey Boie Rascal (Everybody, 2002; Clap Your Hands, 2002; Dark Taste, 2002), as well as a bunch of remixes: Kluster's "My Love" (2001); Shakedown's "At Night" (2002), Thick Dick's "Insatiable" (2002), Kylie Minogue's "Love at First Sight" (2002), Junior Jack's "Thrill Me" (2002), and Planet Funk's "Inside All the People" (2003).
At the height of his newfound international renown, Scaravilli teamed with Lucente for the double-CD mix album In the House (2003), released by Defected and billed to Junior Jack and Kid Creme. There were a couple additional Kid Creme productions ("Doing My Own Thing," 2004; "The Game," 2006), but for the most part, Scaravilli subsequently took a break from production and began cashing in on his international renown as a DJ, particularly in Ibiza, where he frequently resided.
Nico's formative years were spent learning to spin hip-hop and studying music theory & classic piano. After he was expelled from music college in 1991, he decided to set up his own home studio inspired mainly by the London breakbeat scene. At 19 he met Francis Shabard (DJ Murvin Jay) who introduced him to house music and together they secured DJ residencies at Club XXX, the first house club night in Brussels at the legendary Theatre of Vaudeville.
Nico spent four years as assistant engineer at Let's Go Studios, where he met his DJ partner and close friend Vito 'Junior Jack' Lucente. In 1994, Nico set up his own label DTM Recordz and was promptly offered a label deal by R&S Records. At the same time Nico was releasing house records through UK label Drop Dead Discs. It was Nico's house remix of Boom on Drop Dead that caught Boy George's eye, and remixes for Junior Vasquez and Topazz followed.
PIAS were not long in offering Nico a label deal for his techno productions. He accepted the offer and now records for his label Deluxe Recordings under the moniker Sharpside. Their second release Critical Freaks quickly gained support on the scene with the likes of Dave Angel, Claude Young, Pete Tong, Carl Cox and Judge Jules caning the record. With Danny Tenaglia supporting track Belgian Resistance, Luke Slater using the track Telsco Drop on his album and Space Cruising getting signed to Dave Angel's label, Nico's techno productions were going from strength to strength.
On the house tip, remix requests from labels such as Wonderboy, Pepper, Gut, and Mission Lynx came flooding in. In 2001, Nico's first production under the name KID CREME entitled Austin's Groove was signed to Jalapeno Records, who licensed it to Ink in the UK and Subliminal in the US. Eric Morillo added a Shawnee Taylor vocal on the record and it blew up in the club scene. Two following releases for Distinctive, Niquid EP and Down & Under, did equally well with critics and sales.
Kid Creme came back with a strong bootleg of Raw Silk's Do It To the Music and renamed it Hypnotising. The single was signed to Positiva and reached number 31 in the UK singles chart, despite being a relatively underground record.
Nico's remix of At Night, a song by Shakedown, was Seven magazine's Single Of The Week. When Fatboy Slim dropped it at Big Beach Boutique, he was watched by 250 000 people. Upon hearing it whilst visiting her label, Kylie Minogue asked Kid to remix her single Love At First Sight.
