Biography [link]

In 1988, Nick Warren began DJ-ing in Bristol, playing mainly reggae and indie music until house music became more popular in the UK.[2] 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.[3][4]

While working at a record store in 1994, Nick Warren met producer Jody Wisternoff and the two decided to work together.[4] Their first collaboration was on the track "Paradise is the Sound" which they released under the artist name Sub-Version 3.[5] 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.[2] Their next two releases were issued under the name Echo, with Way Out West being the name of their remix project.[5] The duo soon adopted the name for their act and signed a deal with Deconstruction Records.

In the mid 1990s, Nick Warren began a residency at Liverpool dance club Cream.[3] In 1997, Warren was given the opportunity to mix the second entry in the still young Global Underground series.[3] The album, Global Underground 003: Prague, is a live set of Warren's from Prague. Although labelled as 003, this was actually only the second release on the Global Underground label. This began a relationship with Global Underground which led to Warren creating seven additional mix albums for the series, including Global Underground 008: Brazil, Global Underground 011: Budapest, Global Underground 018: Amsterdam, Global Underground 024: Reykjavík, Global Underground 028: Shanghai, Global Underground 030: Paris, and Global Underground 035: Lima.[3] Warren stated that he feels comfortable working with Global Underground due to an underlying trust between himself and the label.[6]

In December 2000, Way Out West was dropped by Deconstruction, which had since been bought by BMG, as the label felt that Way Out West's album would not do well commercially.[2][5] Way Out West then signed a three-album contract with Distinct'ive Records, turning down offers from other labels such as Bedrock.[2][5] Their first album on Distinct'ive was Intensify, which featured the singles "The Fall", "Intensify", and "Mindcircus". "The Fall" used lyrics taken from the Cole Porter song "Autumn Leaves" and "Mindcircus" features vocals written by Imogen Heap.[2] For the next Way Out West album, Don't Look Now (2004), Warren and Wisternoff brought in vocalist Omi and drummer Damon Reece.[7] As of early 2007, Way Out West had begun work on new material.[8] Warren made this possible because he is now head A&R of Hope Recordings, the label in which their last single "Spaceman" was released in 2008.[9] In 2008, Global Underground released Warren's next compilation, Global Underground 035: Lima.[10] Before this album, Warren had sold over 110,000 compilations in the Global Underground series in the UK alone.[10]

For in-studio mixing, Nick Warren uses Ableton Live, ProTools, and some Logic Pro on a Macintosh.[11]

Way Out West's fourth album, titled "We Love Machine," was released on October 6, 2009. The song "Only Love" featuring Jonathan Mendelsohn on vocals (the album marks their first collaboration with a male vocalist) was the first single off the album, released August 31, 2009. The deluxe edition of the album on Hope Recordings is available at their own website.

Nick's recent ventures have been a remix of Grafiti's song Spooky Trains, out now on Hope Recordings and a remix of General Midi's song 'Absinth'. Also in 2010, Nick released on Bedrock Recordings, with the track In Search Of Silver and he began his Soundgarden show on Frisky Radio, a bi-monthly venture in which Nick plays a wide range of different sets on this popular station.[12]

2011 marked Hope Recordings' 100th release, taken on by none other than Nick Warren himself. The track was titled 'Buenos Aires' - as Nick feels a special connection with the city, having played there on several occasions. “I am in love with the city of Buenos Aires and have the most amazing time, each and every time I go there to play. I started writing this tune after playing there last year". [13] Hope Recordings' next release was by Tom Glass, titled 'Naive' for which Nick did his own 'Psycehdelic Wheel' Remix. In November 2011, Nick released another solo single, Rumbletump, on Hernan Cattaneo's Sudbeat label.

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.

English articles

Articles in the English language are the definite article the and the indefinite articles a and an. Use of the definite article implies that the speaker assumes the listener knows the identity of the noun's referent (because it is obvious, because it is common knowledge, or because it was mentioned in the same sentence or an earlier sentence). Use of an indefinite article implies that the speaker assumes the listener does not have to be told the identity of the referent. In some noun phrases no article is used.

Use of articles

The rules of English grammar require that in most cases a noun, or more generally a noun phrase, must be "completed" with a determiner to clarify what the referent of the noun phrase is. The most common determiners are the articles the and a(n), which specify the presence or absence of definiteness of the noun. Other possible determiners include words like this, my, each and many – see English determiners. There are also cases where no determiner is required, as in the sentence John likes fast cars. Or the sentence Bob likes cool trains.

    KOKE-FM

    KOKE-FM (99.3 FM) is a radio station broadcasting a progressive country format. Licensed to Thorndale, Texas, KOKE-FM serves the Austin, Texas area. The station is owned by Genuine Austin Radio, LP. A transmitter site is located near Taylor, Texas and the station has studios along Loop 360 in Southwest Austin.

    History

    From a recent Texas Monthly cover story (April 2012):

    In the summer of 1972, Willie Nelson moved into Austin, just 6 months after KOKE-FM switched to its new format called Country Rock or the more politically correct term at the time "progressive country". Country Radio would never be the same. From the Carter Family to the Rolling Stones, to Waylon and Willie, you could hear the music that Austinites were listening to on I-35 and on South Congress. In 1974 Billboard named KOKE-FM the most innovative station in the country.

    KOKE-FM played a role in the careers of all the "outlaws". Waylon, Willie and the boys lead the way with KOKE-FM to help promote some of the most iconic singer/songwriters of the time thanks to program director Joe Gracey. When Jerry Jeff Walker needed an audience to record "Up Against the Wall Redneck Mother", he called KOKE-FM to get the crowd he needed.

    by: Fen

    Labyrinth of soil, twisting, writhing, ever changing,
    All life returns here, Death, decomposition rebirth.
    Ancient barrows exhale and beckon with hands of stone,
    I move towards the welcoming black,
    Allow my being to merge with the earth.
    And the soul wanders,
    And the soul wanders,
    Lost alone yet unafraid,
