Besides working on engineering for material by Ray Keith, Gavin Cheung has recorded myriad drum'n'bass highlights as Nookie and Cloud 9, releasing his material on some of the to the highest degree well-thought-of labels on the hardcore/jungle picture -- Moving Shadow, Reinforced, Penny Black and Labello Blanco as well as his own, Daddy Armshouse. An early fan of hip-hop and electro, Cheung was a member of a breakdance crew that as well recorded several roger Sessions during the mid-'80s. After studying for several geezerhood, he began on the job in a record store around the time of the acid-house explosion of the former '80s. Debuting on wax with a ragga/hip-hop remix of Ninjaman's "Zig It Up" in 1989, Cheung was a right player in Britain's growing hardcore techno scene of the early '90s. Cheung recorded for Moving Shadow as Cloud 9, and recorded several of the nascent jungle community's to the highest degree infectious tracks, including the much-anthologized "You Got Me Burnin" and "Mr. Logic." His Nookie assumed name received often attention likewise, as Cheung released one of the earliest jungle LPs, 1995's The Sound of Music (for 4 Hero's Reinforced Records). Besides working on tracks with Ray Keith and portion proscribed Moving Shadow label-mate Rob Haigh's Omni Trio project (for the LP Music for the Next Millennium), he remixed Tek 9 and Goldie, and as well collaborated with Chicago house open up Larry Heard for the 1997 single "Mystical People," released on Labello Blanco. In 2001, Cheung resurrected Nookie for the First Light EP on Good Looking Records.
