About Me



Hi.

My names Nick and I make beats.

I'm a button pushing, crate digging, knob tweaking music school dropout with an ear for the past and a taste for the future. Heavily into recycling, both at home and in the studio. I really like the concept of making new of old. I also have an unhealthy obsession with dusty old records and analog musical tools.

I play live MPC shows as well as playing with the band 'The Beat Generation'. Check them out below.

Aside from the musical carry on I do have a life, in which I do normal things such as collect 80's ghettoblasters, ride bikes and drink coffee.
