Nulu Movement was born in New York, created by Anané… Artist, DJ, Singer, Songwriter, Producer, and Philanthropist, as the party brand of her labels Nulu Music and Nulu Electronic. What started as a monthly residency at Le Bain quickly became more than just an event: it became a movement. A space where musical freedom reigns, where genres collide, and where the dance floor transforms into a community of energy, culture, and connection.

At the helm are Anané & Christian Mantini, resident DJs and curators of the Nulu Movement sound. Together, they bring a dynamic balance: Anané, one of the few women to pioneer Afro House on a global stage, and Christian, a seasoned tastemaker with deep roots in electronic music. Their combined vision and versatility fuel a night where Afro-rooted rhythms, deep grooves, and underground textures meet in unexpected ways.

In 2026, Nulu Movement celebrates 10 years, a major feat in the ever-changing landscape of NYC nightlife. Its longevity proves that authenticity, cultural diversity, and fearless vision can stand the test of time.

More than a party, Nulu Movement is a statement: woman-led, globally inspired, and unapologetically original. It’s about freedom of expression, breaking barriers, and creating atmospheres where people from around the world come together as one.

“Nulu Movement is where freedom lives, on the decks, on the dance floor, in the music. It’s not just a party, it’s a journey we take together.”
