Biography

In 1988, Nick Warren began DJ-ing in Bristol, playing mainly reggae and indie music until house music became more popular in the UK. By the early 1990s, Warren had become one of the more popular DJs in Bristol, performing regularly at the superclub Vision and DJ-ing for Massive Attack.

While working at a record store in 1994, Nick Warren met producer Jody Wisternoff and the two decided to work together. Their first collaboration was on the track "Paradise is the Sound" which they released under the artist name Sub-Version 3. Warren describes Wisternoff as being the more technical of the two, while Warren states that he "bring[s] most of the sounds into our projects" and an understanding of what music needs to be successful at dance clubs. Their next two releases were issued under the name Echo, with Way Out West being the name of their remix project. The duo soon adopted the name for their act and signed a deal with Deconstruction Records.

Nick Warren (cricketer)

Nicholas Alexander Warren (born 26 June 1982) is a former English cricketer, who played a number of senior games for Warwickshire between 2002 and 2005, though he made his List A debut for the Warwickshire Cricket Board side in 2001. He was a right-handed batsman and his bowling style was right arm fast-medium. He was born in Moseley, Birmingham.

He was said to have shown potential in the England Under 17 team against Ireland in 1999, and he went on to tour Malaysia with the Under 19's, and played in the Youth World Cup in Sri Lanka during 1999-2000. While in the England A cricket team, his Youth Test debut came in 2002 against West Indies A.

However, Warren's career appeared to be on the verge of decline when his contract at Warwickshire was ended in 2003 and, during his fight to keep his place, he missed three months of play due to a back injury (a stress-fracture of the spine) in 2004. However a run 'of impressive performances' earned him a renewal on his contract, where he played Northamptonshire in the Frizzell County Championship, taking three wickets for one run in ten balls.
