I was fortunate enough to meet Nilz when we had a 12 cut at the Exchange - It was a mediocre track and we were a couple of naive northern lads living the dream...Even though we were nobodies in the music scene Nilz spent hours with us getting the best sound out of the recorded DAT tape we brought him...He had that same big smile all day what a top top man R.I.P. xx

Just now reading that he passed! RIP... brutha, I hope to meet you in Heaven... I know you are there! EVERY time I bought an EP and it read "NILZ at the exchange", I knew it would sound just perfect on audio systems. I am an audio engineer myself, but the dude worked a magic on those records I could never replicate. RIP!

Every avenue I go down seems to involve his name somehow or other. A truly talented man. 5 years on and his mastering work still resonates louder than ever before. RIP!

5 years on and your mastering efforts still as revered as when you was alive :( No point saying how good you are in the electronic music game, let the sounds u brightened on wax speak for themselves. (I have too many to name). Any collector of electronic music vinyl I dare u to look through your collection and see if YOU DON'T own a ----> ''NILZ'' (etched on run out groove) mastered record. This guy mastered everything and anything out there, oddly should be part of a ''music hall of fame'' if one existed for after production/mastering. His efforts will be ETCHED in time as more and more of his work becomes more sought after by new generations of vinyl lovers. R.I.P.

March 15, 2022he was just as important in mid-late 90s' Europe, as the late Ron Murphy was in the early 90's in the US.
I'd give away my record collection for a beer and 15 minutes of chat with this guy.\\
thank you, NiLZ*.
