He's a particularly idiosyncratic producer due to his unique style of {{sampling}} (very similar to Music/ToddEdwards' groundbreaking "microsampling" techniques) in which he takes small clips of quotes, melodies, and sounds from practically anything (film, TV, video games, even real life) and sequences the sounds together along with melodic elements to form a new work of music.

While his first (and [[FirstInstallmentWins arguably most popular]]) hit song was 2007's "Alice" (a remix of ''WesternAnimation/AliceInWonderland''), [[OlderThanTheyThink he had been producing seriously for seven years prior]].

Nick Bertke (born Christopher Nicholas Bertke on July 26, 1988), better known by as [[https://www.youtube.com/user/Fagottron Pogo]], is a South African Australian[[note]]born in Cape Town, South Africa, resides in Perth, Western Australia; most credit him as merely Australian[[/note]] electronic music artist who lives in Perth, the state capital of Western Australia. Since starting his Youtube career in summer 2007, Nick has over 400,000 subscribers and 116.5 million views over all of his videos.

He's a particularly famous producer due to his unique take on sampling, very similar to Music/ToddEdwards' groundbreaking "microsampling" techniques. He takes small samples of quotes, melodies, and sounds from practically anything (film, TV, video games, even real life), forming sample pallets in Adobe Audition, and then sequences the sounds together by means of FL Studio or Ableton Live to form a work of music that he enjoys calling a "Pogoism" or "Pogomix".

He first began getting into music when he began producing his first tracks with the ''Music 2000'' game as a wee child. As he grew older, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3R7-uhp5OPs his musical inclinations followed suit]], and...let's just say he produced ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAgyYNE9jfs a lot]]'' of music over the years. He didn't get his first big break until about a month after he started his Youtube channel, when he uploaded his first video, a Pogomix of Disney's ''Disney/AliceInWonderland'' named "Alice". The song is, to this day, Nick's biggest hit, with almost 15 million views. In the words of the man himself, "What I did with this movie..changed my life."

His works have not only gained acclaim from the masses, but has also landed him some jobs working with big names in the industry, which has in turn caused many a case of ExecutiveMeddling (in fact, Disney commissions every mix Nick makes of one of their films or else they'll sue).

His discography doesn't stop at his Youtube channel. He has released a multitude of [=EPs=] and albums of music that can't necessarily be classified as "Pogomixes", since they don't merely hone their focus on encompassing the aesthetic of one single work. In addition to that, there are even ''more'' tracks that he's made back when he was young and inexperienced (which Nick has [[OldShame had some regrets about]]) as well as some albums and [=EPs=] that are extremely rare finds.

All of this could be enough to send any fan into ArchivePanic mode, which is where [[https://www.youtube.com/user/BSHFTW BSHFTW]] comes in. It's a dedicated Pogo fan channel that devotes itself to literally ''everything'' Pogo, and has gone to drastic extents to search the most archaic and obscure realms of Nick's discography, as well as uploading tracks from his Soundcloud.

He also has a recently-revamped [[https://www.youtube.com/user/NickBertke second channel]] where he does livestreams (of answering questions, playing games, or dissecting his songs in their original FL Studio/Ableton forms), hosts a podcast called ''The Pogo Pod'', and does other random videos.

* TakeThat:
** He once uploaded [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psJwUV37Fbw a video]] where he advised on how to make music that sells, and it was by all means a well-aimed shot at the industry.
** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vx3_2ks5qQ Trumpular]]", his Pogomix of Creator/DonaldTrump. The thumbnail of the video has Trump wearing a clown wig, and the description calls Trump a comedian. On the Soundcloud track of this song, the description states that Nick couldn't resist making a Pogomix of Trump due to how much of a "crazy fucker" he is.
