With a dizzying array of club smashing hits already under their belts, the release of their 2nd album, “Back Up, Coming Through!”, on the world renowned Against The Grain records on 13th April 2009, will cement their position as the premier dance-floor duo that they most definitely are.

Dj Deekline came to prominence with his era defining top-ten anthem, ‘Don’t Smoke The Reefer’, which sold by the truckload and effortlessly placed him at the vanguard of the Two-step, Garage and Breakbeat movements. Greg meanwhile was carving out a career as an in demand studio wizard, working with the likes of Xpress 2 and The Chemical Brothers, and gaining notoriety for his unswerving drive and deft production abilities. After a quick aside - ‘Get Dirty Baby’ as The Booty Bouncers, - Nick & Greg unleashed an astonishing long player, ‘Breaks, Beats & Blondes’. Weighing in at a fulsome thirteen tracks the album was notable not only for its stylistic breadth, taking in Electro, Reggae, Two-step, House and Breaks but also for its heavy use of vocals from the likes of scene players Yolanda and Spoonface, giving a more human depth to the set. Championed by the Dance music fraternity it opened up a new chapter in Breakbeat, as the scene’s emphasis changed from tracks for a sweaty backroom boys club to music with real soul and sex appeal.

I've got ideas in my brain
About the end of the world that I won't even say
When all the bricks that built our brain
Will be turned into sand by the eternal wave
Oh if we save her, we'll live on a star
Mother Nature made everybody else so far

Am I in heaven? Am I in heaven?

Am I in heaven? Am I in heaven?

Well everybody that I knew
Has jumped right in and taken over you
And I swear even the oceans changed its hue
The lesson rings again
Repeats within my brain
Let's all put her to the test
Come on, suck our mother's breast

And everybody that I knew
Has taken bits and pieces out of you
And I swear even the sky has changed, its blue
The lesson rings again
Repeats within my brain
Let's all put her to the test
Come on, suck our mother's breast

Am I in heaven? Am I in heaven?
Am I in heaven? Am I in heaven?

Well everybody that I knew
Has jumped right in and taken over you
And I swear even the ocean changed its hue
The lesson rings again
Repeats within my brain
Let's all put her to the test
Come on, suck our mother's breast

I've got ideas in my brain
About the end of the world that I won't even say
When all the bricks that built our brain
Will be turned into sand by the eternal wave
Oh if we save her, we'll live on a star
'Cause Mother Nature made everybody else so far

Am I in heaven? Am I in heaven?
Am I in heaven? Am I in heaven?

I've got ideas in my brain
I have thoughts and concepts in my mind

About the end of the world that I won't even say
I am contemplating the apocalypse but cannot express it

When all the bricks that built our brain
When the foundations of our knowledge disintegrate

Will be turned into sand by the eternal wave
They will be destroyed by the overwhelming, inescapable force of nature

Oh if we save her, we'll live on a star
If we preserve the earth, we will thrive and prosper

Mother Nature made everybody else so far
Nature has created everything else on this planet

Am I in heaven? Am I in heaven?
Is this a perfect, idyllic place?

Well everybody that I knew
Everyone I was familiar with

Has jumped right in and taken over you
Has taken advantage of you and consumed you

And I swear even the oceans changed its hue
The sea has altered its color

The lesson rings again
The moral of the story is repeated
