nickname - Hi-Fi Poser [Snippet]

Headlining a burgeoning wave of Naarm/Melbourne talent, nickname subscribes to a system-shredding style that is entirely his own. 

Drawing from various influences, his maverick creations “bridge the gap” between destructive jungle, broken bass, and modern techno, evading any attempt to typecast. A master of manipulation, nickname’s resampled sonics dance beside penetrating percussive patterns, showcasing a palpable command of breaks. With his easy-going persona shining through his music, he delivers free-flowing and fractured pulses with a lighthearted grin.

Having found homes on Phasmid’s ‘Taipan Trax’, DJ Loui's Jupiter4, STÜM’s ‘Happy Wax’ and Mincy’s ‘Extra Spicy’, nickname’s riotous releases have rampaged floors at the hands of VTSS, Kessler, and DJ Spit, among countless others. Poised to peel the paint from club walls, his sounds have prompted airtime at Dekmantel and HÖR, with Rinse FM taking note, featuring the playful pro in their exclusive Spotify playlist. Leaving punters mesmerized, his bouncing blonde strands have topped bills across Naarm/Melbourne and Eora/Sydney, with highlights the energetic Extra Spicy x Stony Roads Day Party and vivacious T-Break at 24 Moons. 

Forever gazing forward, nickname’s music lines his rhythmic trajectory. Made for centre stage.

Native Boundaries is an LA based label, mix, and party series spotlighting fresh takes on hard, heavy rave music by @luciddistraction. The label is driven by a vision of melting the boundaries of culture and place to expose listeners to the sounds of Berlin, Chicago, Detroit, and London with a new school twist as interpreted by artists from all over the world. 

Born as a minimal and deep house label in 2021, Native took a decisive turn into heavier territory in late 2022 with EP releases from the fast-rising Etari and label head Lucid Distraction, shortly followed by a 21-track VA featuring the likes of Osutin, Lord Pusswhip, Mezer, Karawai, Mister Sticktalk, In2Stellar, Snarexx, DJ Simlocked and more. These releases earned support from Filth, Inc., Kernel, Moskalus, 6AM, Crazed Behavior, Les Yeux Orange and many more. Native Boundaries has established itself as a respected curator of parties and mixes that push the boundaries of experimentation in the Los Angeles underground, uniting fans of electro, juke, breaks, acid and more.
