Nova Retra, an Egyptian-Russian DJ, draws inspiration from her multicultural heritage, cultivating a distinctive identity that is both nostalgic and futuristic. Though the rising artist began her musical journey as a producer, her passion for classic dance records and vinyls led her to collect rare records from the 80s to the 00s, and ultimately into the world of vinyl DJing. She has since been creating music that re-envisions analog sounds in our digital age.

In solidarity with Palestine, Nova Retra created this exclusive set for Select 214. Over an hour and 10 minutes, Retra reflects on the Israeli atrocities that have been ravaging Palestine, with emotive sonic waves and distorted electronic beats that represent the destruction and distress we have been witnessing for over the past 100 days. Opening with a muffled scratchy Arabic voice note (as it was sampled from a news report on the radio), the set is made up of layers of futuristic and industrial sounds with occasional intersections of sirens and white noise, ending with an evocative symphony evoking a dystopian soundscape.

Select 214: Mixed by Nova Retra

Drawing from her multicultural background, Nova Retra playfully weaves a narrative of exploring identity and perception into her music, embellished by peculiar and hypnotic sounds. 

On a warm evening at Radio Vilnius, she shares a dreamy, laidback mix, reflecting on a summertime adventure through ambient soundscapes, downtempo, IDM, and synth-pop.

2-hour snippet of my 3-hour set at CDV upstairs for The MUDD Show.

although the plan was to share a selection of ambient and downtempo, an improvised shift of energy and events took us onto a more steamy path.

excuse the needle skips which affected some of the mixes, things got quite spicy and that lil booth was not ready for it. enjoy :)
