Now, NIKS is a name that you might already be familiar with, and, quite frankly, if you aren't, we're not really sure where you've been over the last year (well, hopefully your house)...

The South-East London-based DJ and radio host is one of the minds behind Black Bandcamp, a platform founded last year as a space to showcase, promote and support Black artists across the world. What began as a crowd-sourced spreadsheet quickly snowballed into a unified website and a global initiative which is continuing to grow and develop as we type.

But beyond NIKS' incredible work behind the scenes, she's also been causing quite the stir behind the decks too. Inspired by deeper, rhythmic strains of electronic music; sounds with percussive and melodic hooks, her sets and mixes —which have most recently come via Discwoman and Lobster Theremin— explore sounds that transcend the body and the mind, moving beyond thoughts and feelings. 

On top of cooking up lots of new, exciting plans for Black Bandcamp, which will be shared very soon, there's plenty coming up in the world of NIKS too, starting right now with her 'Ransom Note' mix... Get your loose clothing at the ready — this is one for the dance.

Rhythm Section Radio was founded in 2009 and moved to NTS in 2012, and has since pulled out the stops breaking new music, promoting independent labels and paying homage to the greatest music from the past, through a perhaps unhealthy obsession with record digging.

Smooth, blippy, and laced with classics, this mix is by Brooklyn’s own Big A.D. (@thelevelparty). It carries the spirit of renewal and invigoration that we’re universally merging with. It bangs. Don’t sleep, stay awake.

A pillar of the Melbourne/Naarm music scene, Jennifer Loveless  ( @jenniferloveless ) has been making waves locally and abroad for some time now. Having originally moved to Melbourne via Toronto, she's become known for her diverse, banging and unique productions on labels such as Butter Sessions, Planet Euphorique, Pure Space & Body Verse

Her talent also shines through in a her insanely busy DJ schedule and varying, but equally impressive multitude of mixes.

Her aura is bubbly, playful and unique, but what really shines through is her true passion for her craft.

Thanks again for this one Jenn! <3
