MIXES

LIFE HACKS w/ NiKi K

A guest-driven radio show. Curated around B2Bs and takeovers with artists whose music makes me move and whose personalities sing. 

Their sound is the lead, inspiring me to think outside the box, playing new tracks found or sending me down the rabbit hole to rediscover my own collections.

Here is my third show for @RefugeWorldwide. This was aired on the 9th of July 2021.

Seeing as this was the 3rd in my series, I thought I would try something new - and add a 3rd deck. 
I love to incorporate all the styles I like when I’m playing, but to be honest, when it comes down to it, dishing out dance floor driven bangers is when I’m at my best. 

Lash it on, turn it up, enjoy the ride 💜

Thank you for listening :)

Solid Blake with Niki K  - 13 May 2022

The 169th Local Selection comes highly anticipated as we welcome Irish native and Berlin resident NiKi K. Previously from the ranks of Limerick’s legendary Macronite crew, Niki has gone on to hone her skills and her sound while in Berlin.

Niki has been representing the Irish massive in Berlin for 10 years now, and has honed her skills since her early days as resident with Limerick’s Micronite/Macronite. At the time in Limerick, she was a key influence in developing the sound there, booking a legendary programme of acts across their club nights. These nights have gone on to influence the sounds and bookings coming out of Limerick to this day.

She’s kept busy in Berlin across all elements of music, from working as project manager on Krake Festival for their impressive week long festival which focuses on platforming left-of-kilter electronic music, to being a resident and promoter at the legendary KilleKill club night and label. All this while hosting a show on the fantastic Refugee Worldwide radio!

This mix is a great example of what to expect from a Niki set – groovy, hypnotic and a whole lot of fun. Her track choices are eclectic and her technical style is on point, which her recent sets on Hör showcase as she has the technique and adaptability to take on any genre.

If you’re in Berlin you can catch her close out Globus at Tresor this Friday. More details here. In the meantime, stick this on repeat!

This month on Life Hacks, I was joined by the lovely Caoimhe.

This was definitely one of my favorite b2bs. It was absolute vibes from the get-go and such a laugh to be buzzing together off every tune dropped in.   

Rollin chuggers throughout!

For my 2nd last show for 2023 joining me is the talented @aoife_ie.

Aoife and I have become very close friends over the last few years so it was a real pleasure to have her join me not only for the show but also on her birthday.

Wanting to do something a little different than our norm, we both were super excited to pull out some of our favourite drum and bass tracks to play together.

Aoife is very quickly making a name for herself within the scene. Her drive is not only shown by her sets and recordings but also by the passion she puts into every aspect of it. She is for sure one to watch!

B2B with @Stinafrancina

This was such a lovely experience. Stina's usual style is a bit different from mine, but we were both excited to see how our back-to-back session would come together. Before the show, we took turns to share our track ideas with each other and then just went for it. The energy was so good, and we were both really hyped about how well everything flowed. It's always so nice to team up with someone new and hear how the sounds naturally blend.

Super happy with how this turned out! Huge thanks to Stina for joining me <3

Life and Death is thrilled to unleash the electrifying debut EP from rising Irish producer Cromby, marking a bold new chapter on DJ Tennis’ genre-defying label. Packed with high-voltage energy, emotional depth, and razor-sharp house production. At its heart is “I’m Coming Back”—a radiant, hands-in-the-air anthem co-crafted with NiKi K. The track also receives a powerful rework from the enigmatic Known Artist, who transforms it into a hypnotic late-night weapon—fusing atmospheric textures with raw emotional drive. Cromby finally concludes with “One More Time”— a colorful house thumper of pure peak time energy, right on cue for the summer festival season ahead.
