From the classic, garage stormer ‘Rip Groove’, to the seamless ‘Sirens/We All Love Sax’, to his Latin Inspired, house monster: ‘It Just Won’t Do’ - Tim Deluxe’s productions so far have been renowned for quality, diversity and above all, making them move…

Deluxe grew up in North London. At 14 he gained a Saturday job in Time Is Right records, in Islington's Chapel Market and whilst there perfected mixing skills that, although he was still under 18, led him to a slot at Ministry of Sound standing in for CJ Mackintosh … And he rocked it.

In 1994, whilst still at the record shop, Deluxe met, graphic designer Omar Amidora and hardcore label: Boogie Beat, owner, Andy Lysandrou. Sharing the same enthusiasm and passion for music, the three decided to set up a label: Ice Cream Records – a certain inspiration of the speed garage movement: 'RIP Groove' under Deluxe and Amidora’s Double 99’ moniker being their most notable release in 1997. Between 1995 and 1998 Deluxe also put out releases: ‘An American Adventure EP’ and ‘I Know’ on Cross Section records - catering for the likes of Derrick May, Norman Jay, CJ Mackintosh, Erick Morillo and Darren Emerson.

Whilst the label took off, between 1999 –2000 Deluxe and Amidora recorded the album – ‘7th High’, which included collaborations with Sneaker Pimps and Byron Stingily. Deluxe also cut countless remixes including Black Grape, Robert Miles, Mighty Dub Katz and Ultra Nate.

In 2001, Deluxe went solo to pursue his individual sound. His first track ‘Sirens’ was quickly picked up by Darren Emerson (after the two hooked-up and did some work together), for his Underwater imprint. The B-side ‘We All Love Sax’, was something Deluxe had written the previous year and had just left in his studio gathering dust… One Essential New Tune later and heralded as one of 2001’s records of the year by every magazine, DJ and radio presenter – Deluxe was on the map - not only a solo artist, but also as a DJ.

Fast forward to 2002 and Del...
