NICK-ALL

Operating out of the gritty, industrial club circuit of Liège, Belgium, Nick-All (William Hourand) is Ten Fathoms’ direct pipeline to the European underground. A versatile DJ, beatmaker, and live electric bassist, he bridges the gap between deep analog grooves and the relentless, high-voltage energy of modern Drum & Bass and Techno. He represents the late-night, rave-culture expansion of the label.

The Liège Pipeline
In a city known for its heavy, unapologetic electronic scene, Nick-All learned to engineer sound specifically for the warehouse. He isn't interested in the polished gloss of mainstream EDM; his currency is sub-bass, breakbeats, and soundsystem pressure. Driven by his mantra of "Love and Bass," he builds tracks that demand to be felt in the chest before they are heard in the ears.

The Sonic Architect
What sets Nick-All apart in the crowded European bass scene is his musicality. As a trained electric bassist, he understands the crucial "pocket" of a groove—a skill that perfectly aligns with the heavy reggae and dub foundation of Ten Fathoms Records. He doesn't just program beats; he plays the low-end, infusing aggressive digital basslines with warm, human rhythm.

This duality allows him to effortlessly mutate traditional Reggae and Dub elements into aggressive, 174-BPM dancefloor anthems. Whether he is dropping original jump-up cuts like his breakout single "Sting," or rewiring Ras Dave’s classic, heavy roots vocals into peak-time club weapons, Nick-All operates at the exact intersection of Kingston soundsystem culture and European rave energy.

The Global Movement
As the European arm of Ten Fathoms, Nick-All is tasked with taking the label's rich, organic catalog and translating it for the 3:00 AM crowd. He is the sonic architect pushing the Ten Fathoms sound beyond the traditional reggae market and straight into the global music arena.

When the sun goes down and the analog sessions end, Nick-All takes control of the frequency.
