THE WEAPONS FACTORY stems from the brainchild of Nick Welch, and the result of a year of intense work creating a solid bed of Electro Ambient D+B mixes as a 15 year old Computer Game and DJ mix fanatic. The mixes were created as one of Nick’s bedroom studio hobbies, with the intent to produce just a limited edition for friends and to sell to a few local boutiques and specialised gift stores to cover costs. An opportunity to move to California near silicon valley and the world of computer game development put a hold on any further energies being directed to the music projects., so the CD’s and mixes ended up among his Dad's CD archives. Some nine years later, his father, a musician and producer, revisited the old mixes and enthused by the sounds and possibilities, brought them to IMMG's studio to explore development and re-mastering. Experimental melodic layers were added, and so began a years work of additional vocals and instrumentation. As the layers and contributing artists grew, so did the excitement around the results. By the time the fourth track was finished, it was obvious that something exciting and releasable was in creation. By the end of the year the first ‘Weapons Factory’ album was complete, and a further selection of tracks laid down for the follow up of WF2.
