90's dance music icons Chicane, aka DJ Nick Bracegirdle, will retun to the capital later this year having revealed a headline show at London's HMV Forum on November 5th to support the new album 'Giants', which is out this week. It's been some fourteen years (if you include Disco Citizens tracks) since Bracegirdle arrived as the 'God of the Ibiza anthem'.
