Career

Active since 1995, the duo recorded as R.I.P. Productions and 10° Below, releasing tracks and EPs on the Ice Cream label which they founded alongside Boogie Beat co-owner Andy Lysandrou (later of True Steppers).[2][3] Under the name R.I.P., their 1997 EP Double 99 first featured the track "RipGroove" with Double 99 later adopted as their alias for the single.

Both Liken and Adimora later continued to release solo material and remained active as DJs, remixers and producers under the names Tim Deluxe and DJ Omar / Omar Chandla, respectively. Deluxe had a hit in 2002 with his second solo single, "It Just Won't Do", which reached the top 20 charts in five countries including the UK where it peaked at No. 14.[4]

gollark: What a productive, civil and useful conversation.
gollark: It would probably be better to reencode to more efficient codecs, not worse old ones.
gollark: Repetitive content can have really good compression ratios.
gollark: Wayland appears technically superior in some ways and worse in others (no consistent standards for asking compositors to do screenshots or whatever, and all window managers reinventing compositor bits), but also support is quite bad.
gollark: Oh yes, some distros ship it with that.
