In 2025, he teamed up with legendary engineer and console designer Malcolm Toft and Acustica Audio to develop Aubergine, a channel-strip plug-in inspired by Malcolm’s analogue heritage and classic British console designs.
Nik also represents Antelope Audio in the UK, running its local business and working closely with the company’s CEO and R&D team on the development of hardware, software and audio effects.
Education has been an important part of Nik’s career for many years. He works as a tutor and lecturer and regularly takes part in industry panels, talks and international educational events.
