Bio:

Deekline, aka Nick Annand, has been collecting records since the age of 10. Initially inspired by early funk and electro, he moved onto hardcore and then the Jungle scene. In 1999, he set up his own label, Rat Records, to release his debut ’Don’t Smoke (Da Reefer).’ Nick started his own garage influenced breakbeat night, Beatfreaks, which began to shape the sound of London’s underground club scene. Since then he has also set up Thursday Night Throwdown and Breakbeat Connection, two hugely successful events. Nick’s productions have been licensed to compilations ranging from Fabric Live to Pure Garage. His enormous official remix of Ol’ Dirty Bastard’s ‘Got Your Money’ and an anthemic collaboration with Freq Nasty, ‘Every Posse & Crew’, and now ‘4×4×4’ have proved that he is a producer of significant merit.
