It has only been a natural progression for Nick to move towards music production. Nowadays there aren't a lot of dj's out there who haven't played one of his records at one time or another. With releases ranging from the legendary Hooj Choons label to Airtight and well respected labels such as Yoshitoshi and Shinichi, Nick K has made a name for himself as a fine purveyor of dancefloor mayhem within the global dance scene. After setting up the much acclaimed Lowrider recordings label with Matthew Dekay, Nick recently started the Gangsta Audio imprint to great success and will without a doubt add more mayhem to dance floors worldwide. For many dj / producers out there, there's always been a trend to go with the flow, often resulting in an early fade-out and short lived careers.
