Hailing from Amersham in Bucks, Nick Hill aka Lomax has always had a very musical background.

A piano player from a young age, and with a degree in music behind him, he was first introduced to drum & bass by the sounds of LTJ Bukem and John B back in 1997, and from then on he began producing in his bedroom in 2000.

As the original member of HoldTight, with several releases on such labels as Industry, Renegade, Rubiks and Advanced to name a few, Nick has been extremely busy on the production front since 2003, when HoldTight’s first two tunes, Dirty Habits and 9 2 5 were championed by Andy C and licensed for the nightlife compilation.

A few years on and many tunes down the line, he is now based in Bristol and is very much a part of the lively drum & bass community that resides there. He is now involved in various projects and is now one half of the massively successful act Loadstar alongside Xample.

An instant success, the duo’s incredible new musical direction coupled with the backing of Ram Records ensured that Loadstar’s path to the highest echelons of the scene was assured. And while both Gavin and Nick agree that for the moment they’re rooted in credible, underground D&B, they’re the first to admit that they’re excited about the current state of bass music and its propensity to absorb new genres, styles and tempos at a moments notice.?

Fans of drum & bass and even bass music in general can be assured that Loadstar have everything it takes to be one of the most exciting acts in dance music today. Years of experience in crafting the highest quality music that’s as happy on your home stereo as it is in huge arenas, a worryingly busy DJ diary that sees them touring the globe with fellow Bristolian MC Texas and support from admiring nightclub-goers, club DJs and the media alike means that Loadstar are undoubtedly spearheading the bass music revolution.
