With sizzling electro, crunching breakbreats, frenzied footwork and much more in between, @nikki-nair records a jaw dropping productions mix for the Recognise series.

Atlanta-based Nikki Nair has made waves recently thanks to his sonically varied productions, released on labels such as Scuffed Recordings, Dirtybird and Gobstopper. For this month's Recognise interview, he chats to Katie Thomas about his route into music-making and DJing, the importance of respecting dance music history, and the push for a more diverse scene.

From his own unreleased things to a rework of Joey Beltram and finally a dub version of Twin Peaks, @drjeep's Body Mix is wild, unexpected and brilliant. As a huge fan of his since his wide ranging releases on his own DRX imprint, we're absolutely chuffed to have him on the series. Thanks Andre!

Fact Mix 851: Nikki Nair (Mar '22)

Tuck into Client_03 live at fabric [25/02/2022] – taken from the masked mystery’s most recent outing in EC1 back in February where they played in Room 1 alongside DJ Assault, Simo Cell, DJ MEG G and more. Warpy, weird and wonderful. A note from the master below.

__

"Client_03 - Host Body Rule set. 

The Host Body is selected Through process of elimination to physically represent Client_03 in a performance setting. This is a commencalistic relationship in which Client_03 benefits and the host body feels nothing and has no recollection of the experience. 

Below is the the formula given to the host body as a base on which to elaborate for the duration of the performance. Whether or not the Host body can add have add value based on performative gestures is unclear. Future iterations may include limitations on the host body’s physical movement. 

Host Body mix and performance rule set Sample: 

#include <performance_settings.c03>
int main() {
    Combine A, B, product;
    
    Source A: 
    Left Side 
    
    Source B: 
    Right Side 

    printf(“Simultaneous_playback: ");
    scanf( %.2lf ‘bpm", ‘key’_a/b’, ‘genre_a/b’);  
 
    // Calculating product
    product = a * b; 

    // %.2lf  returns synchronous result from 0%-100% process completion
    printf("Product = %.2lf", product);
    
    return remainder 0;
}

In Conclusion: 

The General progress measured through the collective appreciation of the Testbed as whole is greatly increasing. The current host body is satisfactory and will continue to serve as above with further experimentation and iteration on the process to ensure that its performance ability is viewed as <70% Favourable to the Testbed as a whole."

If you haven't heard of Nikki Nair at this point, we'd invite you to come out from under that rock you're living in. But jokes aside, the last 12 months have been the Atlanta producer's year. He's toured seemingly endlessly, has found his way into a number of local scenes and has put out records for labels like Dirtybird, Lobster Theremin and Scuffed Recordings. If that weren't enough, he's also been putting out an illuminating series of monthly singles on his Bandcamp that show off both his restless muse and his seeming ability to both perfect and put his own stamp on any sub-genre or style he tries.

People usually use some form of the word "bass" to describe Nikki Nair, because of the way his music flits between dubstep, drum & bass, electro and more. One moment he's making staggering hip-hop instrumentals that would have fit right into the old LA beat scene, the next minute he's making pneumatic techno or uptempo stuff that would fit right in one Juke Bounce Werk. 

His voracious appetite for new sounds comes across on his RA Podcast, which is a sprawling two-hours-plus of genre hopping and careful mixing, hopping from mood to mood like a 2-D video game platformer. It starts off perhaps a little slower than you'd expect, but weaves through countless Nikki Nair tracks, older selections from Wolfgang Voigt and Drexciya and mind-melting club tracks from newer producers including DJ ADHD, Despina, Limewax and more. If you want to know what the hippest, most inventive dance music sounds like, bridging continents and oceans, this mix is it.

Scuffed Recordings with Ian DPM, Wager & rumu - 22 November 2022

Echolocation 2023 [21/01/21]

A set I performed last month at an outdoor Echo Soundsystem showcase event. 

The Soundsystem was set up facing the water on a secluded, cozy bay in Titirangi/Huia (West Auckland/NZ). When we arrived, there were families chilling on the beach that were all very interested in what was about to happen. 

This set was the first of the day/night during the hours of 12 pm - 2 pm. The tone of the mix was curated to compliment the natural environment we were in and the music lovers who were there enjoying catching up under sun lit marquee, warming up for the night ahead.  

Thank you EchoSoundstem for putting in on.
