Sound Carrier · Architect of Resonance 𓂀 Archivar

Xuqutopi doesn’t make music —
he opens fields.

At the threshold between downtempo, techno, and medicine sound,
his work isn’t a genre.
It’s memory—folded into tone.

Each piece is a resonance chamber:
not for entertainment, but remembrance.
Not to impress — to return.

Woven with frequencies from sacred sites,
tuned through stillness across India, Portugal, and Ecuador,
his sound isn’t performed.
It’s allowed.

Born in Austria, based near Graz,
but the field is nonlocal.
It activates wherever listening becomes presence.

Whether in ceremony, on the dancefloor,
or at the final stage of mastering —
he listens for one thing:
the tone that helps you remember who you are.

“I don’t create music.
I open sonic space—
where memory becomes tone.”

Nickodemus is a traveler at heart—a connector of worlds, scenes, and people since the mid-90s. Over his extensive career as a touring DJ and producer, including 5 albums and canonical tunes like “My Swing es Tropical” and “Cleopatra in New York”, he’s helped pave the way for an inimitable mix of global fusion and the heavy beats we yearn for in the club. His music has long thrived on the close relationships and mutual respect of friends he’s built across the continents, felt through the worldly potions he cooks up in the studio, and spanning electronic sounds rooted in Latin, African, and Eastern instrumentation. His latest album, A Long Engagement, serves as a culmination of the inspirations he’s absorbed and remains rooted in his life as native New Yorker and the city’s nostalgic energy. 

Nickodemus’ sound is often focused on the connective tissue of his many live collaborations and the electronic solitude of his studio (or record-filled bubble, as he calls it). Through his much-loved label Wonderwheel Recordings, he’s not only regularly releasing some of the most soul-shaking, eclectic sounds in the biz, but focusing deeply on artist development and creating long-lasting moments that live on far longer than their track length. The music you hear in his releases are filled with expression, reflection, and care; they’re both open-minded and deeply focused, a rarity at time in today’s overcrowded music industry. 

As a remixer, he’s also lent his “Remix Machine” to a wide range of artists including pioneers like Bob Marley and Nina Simone, as well as other like minded genre-welders like Thievery Corporation, Quantic, and Mr. Scruff. Throughout his career he’s also carved an important niche in the live music scene with his beloved Turntables on the Hudson parties, that have popped up everywhere from New York to Cairo.  
 
Currently on tour around Europe & USA, his latest album "Soul and Science" is another portrait into the importance of shared ideas and the dialogue artists can share when they look past language or place of birth. It’s another bass-heavy global party and we’re all invited.
