Nick Skitz

Nicholas Agamalis, better known as Nick Skitz, is an Australian DJ and dance music producer whose career in dance music started in the early 1990s. Since 1995, his Skitzmix series of compilations have become well known in Australian dance circles for featuring remixes and megamixes of well-known dance songs and are the best selling DJ compilations in Australia.

Skitz began working for dance label Pro-DJ International in the early 1990s.

He quickly became involved with the successful dance label Central Station records once Pro-DJ folded and began remixing tracks for the label's Australian and international artists. Remixes of the "X-Files Theme" (Triple X) and "Excalibur" (FCB, and later Skitz's own version) got him noticed and reached the Top 10 on the ARIA singles charts in Australia.

From 1996, Skitz has released assorted dance/pop compilations of the latest tracks at the time (also a promotion for the affiliated record company, Central Station).

Major charting success of Skitzmix came in late 2001, with Skitzmix 10 reaching #9 on the mainstream ARIA Albums Chart alongside artists like Creed, Shaggy and the Bridget Jones's Diary Soundtrack. During the late 90's and through the 2000s, Skitz also featured on the Ministry of Sound label & Wild compilations.

Skitz's track "The Ultimate" reached #2 on the dance charts in the UK. His first pop hit "Slave to the Music" reached the top 20 in Australia in November 2003 and was a cover of an original song by Twenty 4 Seven.

In 2004, he joined forces with Mark Gable, lead singer of Australian rock band The Choirboys to rework their 1987 Australian hit "Run to Paradise" as a dance track. The song, billed as "Nick Skitz vs. the Choirboys", debuted in the top 20 of the Australian pop charts in July 2004, and was the 17th biggest selling dance single of that year. The single also features a remix by Jason Nevins.

Since 2006, Skitz has released two rock compilations called Skitz Metal and Skitz Rocks featuring 80s and 90s rock originals like Quiet Riot's "Cum On Feel The Noize" and Scorpion's "Wind Of Change" and some dance remakes of glam rock hits. In July 2007, Skitz released a rock/dance version of David Lee Roth's 80s hit "Just Like Paradise" which reached #58 on the ARIA Physical Sales Chart in Australia.
