Hailing from the southeastern
U.S., producer and DJ Nikki Nair has, in a short time,
distinguished himself as a bold voice in the landscape of hybridized dance music. Having released four EPs in 2019 and four more in 2020, his productions have found homes on cult labels like Pretty Weird Records and Gobstopper. His work traverses genres, often fusing electro, breaks and UK bass sentiments. Despite the essential grittiness of his sound, Nair’s commitment to craft is undeniable. In fact, some of the game’s most respected artists (Four Tet, Batu, Ben UFO) have taken notice and hyped many of his tracks.
Nikki Nair’s technique as a DJ is just as impressive as his production ability. It’s not an exaggeration to say that Nair is an expert in cross
genre blending. His sets are somatic, textured
and dynamic, braiding acidic electro, ghettotech, broken rhythms, experimental disco and bass music with dexterous ease. Nair’s sound and vision is fresh and forward thinking, pointed to move and mesmerize peak time floors.

Fact Mix 851: Nikki Nair (Mar '22)

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.

His open format sound will push and pull you to euphoric highs, unrelenting percussive tunnels, and left-field sonic infusions that feel worldly and environmental. Christo has been actively designing for musicians and Dj’s for over 15 years and has been behind some small but mighty events such as Connector, Techno Breakfast, etc. Currently Christo is working on opening a venue in Chattanooga, Tennessee to offer a place for the sound to sit dead center in the Southeastern United States.

Words from Evelyn:  "A new approach to my work blossoms alongside my womanhood: it is power, beauty and embodied presence. It is the realization of one’s truest self, it is the shedding of all the things I have clung to in exchange for something much greater than I could have ever dreamed of. It is impact, soft and hard at once. The decimation of the ego and the empowerment of the delicate core. The externalization of the divine feminine. Ascension is often painful in its process but the rewards will always be beautiful beyond earthly comprehension."
