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.

A vast majority of great records I bought in the UK right through the 90's had one reoccurring name in the run out wax- NILZ. Great to see a personal legend (always wondered who he was & somehow felt a sense of heart towards this mysterious figure) immortalised here with his own page. Sometimes its what you leave behind in life that cements your existence forever & touches more people than you could possibly meet in linear terms- its called SOUL. R.I.P Nilz

Nil; one of the few mastering engineers who could actually polish a turd - turn budget production into a huge sounding and selling record (too many examples to mention!). A genuinely nice guy; a helpful and kind human being. Not to mention an incredibly talented pair of ears!
