Born in the Bay Area, raised in Somerset, England, and currently living in Los Angeles, Beatnick Dee is a producer whose discography includes work with Faith Evans & Biggie, Blu, Fredwreck, October London, Jehst, Ras Kass, Vinnie Paz, Trizz, Chuuwee, and Big Twins. 
Having grown up in England, Nick was exposed to a variety of musical genres from a young age when his father began taking him to Glastonbury Festival. Out of all the musical styles at the festival, it was Hip-Hop that really caught Nick's ear, leading to his first experimentation with beatmaking. 
After years of accumulating knowledge in records, gear, sampling, and production techniques, he began collaborating with artists, making a name for himself and solidifying his trademark sound. It was after a visit to LA, as an intern at Tres Records, that his mind was made up — he had to make a permanent move. Only 6 months later, it became official — Beatnick Dee was now a Los Angeles-based producer. 
It was this relocation which led to the evolution of his debut album, Creative Medicine, and subsequent projects, most recently his collaborative album, Patience, with rapper, Pheo, and his first instrumental project Order & Chaos. He landed his first major-label placement in 2017, co-producing with Fredwreck on a track that features an unreleased Biggie verse, alongside Lil' Cease, for Faith Evans' King & I album. With his sights set on more placements, collaborations, and sound design, the multifaceted producer is one to watch for 2020 and beyond.

With a career that includes designing sounds for Ableton, Korg, Roland, Sequential, Xfer and Kilohearts, plus serving as Technology Editor for Beatportal.com and editor-at-large for Electronic Musician/MusicRadar, Francis Prève has carved a niche as one of the tech industry's most in-demand sound designers. His work as a college professor in Austin, Texas, provides additional insight into how musicians of all skill levels interface with synthesizers, while his career as a technology journalist gives him a deeper appreciation of great product design and realisation.

Over the years, Prève's music output has included high-profile remixes for Dragonette, Orbital, Sander Kleinenberg, Dave Seaman, and Gabriel & Dresden. His original compositions include collaborations like "Yin/Yang" with Wolfgang Gartner and "Get Down" with John Acquaviva & Olivier Giacomotto. 

In 2016, Preve founded symplesound.com, a soundware company focused on creating content and presets for the synthesizer industry.
