Giulia Tess on Threads Radio

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.

In her latest show @giuliatess plays a selection new tracks from Karima F, Axefield, Baltra, Apprentis and more, and pays tribute to recently passed away Italian music 'maestro' Franco Battiato. 
In the second hour, she's joined by the talented UK producer @talik1 for an guest mix journey into her sonic world - expect immersive sounds palettes harmoniously blended with percussive club music.

Lucidity & Elysium [DJ Set Snippet: S14 - Progressive House]

Toward a Future Without Light is a melancholy house track built on slow-burning tension and deep, atmospheric layers. It carries a sense of inevitable descent, pulling listeners into a soundscape where hope has already vanished. Dark synth textures and haunting vocal passages echo the weight of a future stripped of warmth, while the steady rhythm drives forward like footsteps into the unknown. It is both hypnotic and devastating. A soundtrack to the quiet realization that some tomorrows never arrive.

Italy-born London-based DJ and producer Giulia Campanella pulls the sonority of leftfield electronica into the side of percussive music in a refreshing and effortless way. Codifying the variety of influences trapped within Giulia Tess is like a journey through a maze: challenging, thrilling and yet, rewarding in the end.
