" Nihil is a DJ and producer from Hamburg, Germany, blending dark, hypnotic sounds with deep, driving rhythms. Growing up influenced by his father, a DJ and electronic music enthusiast, Nihil’s roots lie in underground sounds and vinyl culture. Drawing inspiration from Berlin’s scene, his performances captivate with raw energy and immersive atmospheres.
 
In 2024, Nihil’s dedication to producing his unique sound led to significant milestones, including his first live set, vinyl-only performances, and the release of his debut track, Sinister, on Rittym Noir’s VA002. With over 250 loops and a growing arsenal of gear, his progress reflects relentless passion and hard work.
 
This year, Nihil is set to release his first EPs, marking an exciting new chapter in his artistic journey. Fueled by a commitment to authenticity and innovation, he continues to make bold strides in shaping his place in the electronic music scene."

GTG SOLO 005 | Nihil – Deus Error EP
Out September 5th, 2025
Digital Only

There’s a certain kind of techno that doesn’t ask for attention… it takes hold and locks you in. Not with brute force, but with precision. No theatrics, no excess. Just pure pressure.

Deus Error is exactly that. Five cuts engineered for the kind of dancefloor where time dissolves and the only thing left is motion. Stripped to the bone. Pulsing with life. Every element serves a purpose: sine waves flicker like emergency lights, the groove is rigid but breathing, and somewhere deep beneath it all, there’s a sense of something breaking through.

This release is about timeless functionality. Control. Release. That moment at 6:42 a.m. when the kick’s still hammering and you’ve forgotten what came before and it doesn’t matter.

Nihil delivers techno the way it’s meant to be: honest, unrelenting, and built for the long night. GTG SOLO 005 doesn’t talk. It works.

ANTIDOTE Premiere: Nihil - Tenebris [GTGSOLO005]

Every DJ writes an “important text” to frame their mix, so here’s mine: this set is an exploration of human error, caffeine shakes, and the futility of believing two records will ever perfectly align. You’ll find transitions that worked, transitions that didn’t, and a few that probably deserve a public apology.

But instead of deleting them, I uploaded the whole thing anyway. Because nothing about this is a portfolio piece. It’s a reminder that perfection is boring, mistakes have more character, and sometimes chaos sounds better than control. The decks fought back, the records slipped, and I let it all happen.

In short: the most authentic thing I could possibly upload, a document of stubborn obsession, human error, and the acceptance that none of it really matters… except that it does to me. By the way: I also made some visuals that capture my favorite moments in the set
