Mastering engineer at The Exchange in Camden, London.
Although his mastering work extends to all aspects of the job, he has for several years been one of the most in-demand vinyl-cutting engineers in dance music (but not by any means exclusive to that genre).
Patel signs off his cuts with the run-out groove etching "NILZ - THE EXCHANGE". This etching can be seen on thousands of records released on labels based in a myriad of countries worldwide.
