The duo Modd takes us on another enchanted journey through their universe with their three tracker ‘Neruda’.

The title track sets the scene with a bed of warm pads and soothing atmospheres driven by steady percussion, giving off just the right amount of heat.

‘Nun’ turns the tension up a bit with slightly uneasy synth swells set against laughingly beautiful vocals to create a truly diverse experience with ups and downs throughout.

Finally, the duo gives us the most dancefloor friendly of the three, while still maintaining that after-hour glow of softened edges and good uplifting vibes. The track follows the lead set by its siblings, a steady and driving percussion full of small surprises and nuances set against a rich tapestry of sound and emotion, and just as elegantly executed as those before it.

• BIO •

Behind N-TCHBL stands Marija Nikolić, Serbian DJane and producer raising from the south of her homeland. Shaped as much by silence as by sound, growing up in the shadows of the ‘90s in a country marked by unrest and resilience, she found refuge in music that felt moody, raw and honest. Pink Floyd, Nirvana, The Cure, Depeche Mode, Radiohead... these weren't just bands, they were lifelines. Echoes of that era still breathe through her music today, not as nostalgia, but as a pulse.

In the early 2000s, her heart shifted from post-punk to the deep, hypnotic world of progressive house. Artists like Deep Dish, Hernán Cattáneo, Sasha, John Digweed and Moshic opened a new emotional language, where subtle melodies and steady rhythms told stories words never could. She found her voice in that space between melancholy and movement, underground darkness and melodies - progressive house was something she wanted to live and love!

By 2008, her unique, carefully woven sets caught the attention of almost every major Serbian club. A new chapter began - playing across the country, then beyond the borders of her homeland. From the shores of Cacao Beach's epic Solar Summer Festival to the heartbeat of Sofia’s Top10 DJ Mag Escape Club her name grew, not with noise, but with quiet persistence when she became the first Serbian female progressive DJ to reach international ears. Although fear of long flights kept her away from accepting to play across the oceans, her unique sound traveled, underground crowds named her the "queen of progressive house"!

In 2011, after a string of guest mixes and a feature as FRISKY "Artist of the Week", an invitation to host her own show came and SUBLIMINAL was born - a space to tell sonic prog stories, deep, dark, and feminine. The show became a sanctuary for thousands of monthly listeners from all around the world, all drawn to her ability to blend bold rhythms with soft emotion and traditional Balkan and oriental textures that made her sets unmistakably hers.

Then in 2011, after her farewell show in Lebanon, came silence and a decade-long pause in live appearances, but some flames never die. When she returned in 2021, it was with grace and depth! She played alongside Sébastien Léger, Sebastian Busto, Petar Dundov, DJ Ruby, headlined UNIVACK event in Madrid with Kamilo Sanclemente and continued to rock the dancefloors of Serbian clubs and festivals with the same quiet fire.

In 2024, after years of shaping her sets with other people's stories, Marija finally decided to tell her own. Her debut original track "Esther" emerged like a whispered truth, honest and unguarded. When Hernán Cattáneo opened RESIDENT 709 with it, it felt less like a milestone and more like destiny quietly unfolding. Soon after came "Southern Storm" on Contrast Records, a storm she had carried within her for years, now set free and remixed by Moshic, the very artist whose music once lit the path she walks today. A dream, once distant, now echoed back to her in harmony.

N-TCHBL doesn’t chase trends, she crafts experiences. Her music is not made to impress, but to reach. To awaken something tender, something fierce. To remind us that in a world that rushes, it’s okay to feel deeply and to dance through it.

Started djing when I was 15 to my parents and neighbours disdain, shock and outright misunderstanding. I began on limit belt drives, a mixer nobody ever heard of, an amp that i can only describe as stolen from your grandads stack system with speakers found at a junk yard piled on a table that was only fit to do the wallpapering pumping out happy hardcore, surrounded by rave posters and a big old SV slammin vinyl I painted on the bedroom wall. ahh, the 90s. 

vinyl/dv mixes. Liquid Drum & Bass/Progressive House.

weekly shows on mixcloud for the moment as I am contemplating options.
