"In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed."
William Ernest Henley

• BIO •

Behind N-TCHBL stands Marija Nikolić, Serbian DJane and producer raising from the south of her homeland. Shaped as much by silence as by sound, growing up in the shadows of the ‘90s in a country marked by unrest and resilience, she found refuge in music that felt moody, raw and honest. Pink Floyd, Nirvana, The Cure, Depeche Mode, Radiohead... these weren't just bands, they were lifelines. Echoes of that era still breathe through her music today, not as nostalgia, but as a pulse.

In the early 2000s, her heart shifted from post-punk to the deep, hypnotic world of progressive house. Artists like Deep Dish, Hernán Cattáneo, Sasha, John Digweed and Moshic opened a new emotional language, where subtle melodies and steady rhythms told stories words never could. She found her voice in that space between melancholy and movement, underground darkness and melodies - progressive house was something she wanted to live and love!

By 2008, her unique, carefully woven sets caught the attention of almost every major Serbian club. A new chapter began - playing across the country, then beyond the borders of her homeland. From the shores of Cacao Beach's epic Solar Summer Festival to the heartbeat of Sofia’s Top10 DJ Mag Escape Club her name grew, not with noise, but with quiet persistence when she became the first Serbian female progressive DJ to reach international ears. Although fear of long flights kept her away from accepting Canada's Stereo Montreal and Ministry of Sound event invitations, her unique sound traveled across the oceans, underground crowds named her the "queen of progressive house"!

In 2011, after a string of guest mixes and a feature as FRISKY "Artist of the Week", an invitation to host her own show came and SUBLIMINAL was born - a space to tell sonic prog stories, deep, dark, and feminine. The show became a sanctuary for thousands of monthly listeners from all around the world, all drawn to her ability to blend bold rhythms with soft emotion and traditional Balkan and oriental textures that made her sets unmistakably hers.

Then in 2011, after her farewell show in Lebanon, came silence and a decade-long pause in live appearances, but some flames never die. When she returned in 2021, it was with grace and depth! She played alongside Sébastien Léger, Sebastian Busto, Petar Dundov, DJ Ruby, headlined UNIVACK event in Madrid with Kamilo Sanclemente and continued to rock the dancefloors of Serbian clubs and festivals with the same quiet fire.

In 2024, after years of shaping her sets with other people's stories, Marija finally decided to tell her own. Her debut original track "Esther" emerged like a whispered truth, honest and unguarded. When Hernán Cattáneo opened RESIDENT 709 with it, it felt less like a milestone and more like destiny quietly unfolding. Soon after came "Southern Storm" on Contrast Records, a storm she had carried within her for years, now set free and remixed by Moshic, the very artist whose music once lit the path she walks today. A dream, once distant, now echoed back to her in harmony.

N-TCHBL doesn’t chase trends, she crafts experiences. Her music is not made to impress, but to reach. To awaken something tender, something fierce. To remind us that in a world that rushes, it’s okay to feel deeply and to dance through it.
