On est très fièr.e.s d’accueillir Nuir pour ce nouveau podcast. DJ et producteurice autodidacte, iel a récemment sorti un debut track sur Mama Told Ya, le label d’Anetha. Dans ses sets, iel aime brouiller les frontières entre les genres, tissant un espace sonore qui oscille entre IDM, la trance, la bass music britannique entre autres. 
Ce set est un bel aperçu de ce que l’artiste est capable de nous proposer, avec un fil conducteur une techno hyper pulsée et énergique, comme on aime l’entendre dans les clubs.

Paris-based Nuir shares a *FLINTA-only productions mix for us, neatly combining club-driven energy and introspective moods. Beginning with a beautiful, beatless intro, the DJ and producer takes us through murky soundscapes, lithe melodies, swirly polyrhythms and many more textures derived from IDM, electro, trance, UK bass and beyond. Having made their debut as a producer on Mama told ya, Nuir has continued to explore and experiment with their sound, as told through releases on Collective, Maison Close, Matière and Ghetec. Internationally established artists, including Francois X and Anetha, have played Nuir's music, further supporting an artist unafraid to fuse instruments, hardware, software, and their own vocals across their work.

Nuir | TM8 #68

Nuir is a self-taught producer and DJ from Paris. His work revolves around creating consistent expressions that draw musical inspiration from a wide range of electronic culture, including IDM, trance, UK bass music and perhaps last nights. In his DJ sets, Nuir always blurs the boundaries between genres, creating a sound space that oscillates between pulsating contemplation and independent club energy.

After catching the attention of Aneta and releasing his debut track on Mama Told Ya, Nuir decided to reflect and experiment with his music.

For our series, he prepared a mix in which he also erased all musical boundaries between styles, entangling the listener like a spider in his noir web.

TM8 Q: What's your favourite word?
A: "Furby - they are soft, brightly coloured, gender fluid and nostalgic. They also look great with sunglasses and are very stylish. Within each Furby I have, is a little piece of myself."

UK-born, Amsterdam-based writer and DJ LNR has recorded a FLINTA-focused mix for us. Inspired by the collective dialogue between her journalistic research surrounding dance music history and her obsession with collecting old-school vinyl, the multi-disciplined artist translates pen to wax by creating journeys centred around fluid iterations of sound system culture. Exploring refractions of music in the hardcore and psychedelic spectrums and integrating technological rawness with dissociative coils, LNR has played alongside 90s legends like 69db from Spiral Tribe, Eat Static, Felix K, μ-Ziq, and Scion, and has DJ'd in Amsterdam's Garage 
Noord and for Belgium's free party collective, V23. 

In this mix, however, LNR has ditched her usual vinyl-only format to highlight a talented array of FLINTA artists, including music from the feminist freetekno collective Witchcraft rec, and producers Nkisi, Azu Tiwaline, Saskia, DJ Sofa, c00, gi, Laura STZ, Freeman 713, Kan10, DJ Spice, and Liza N Eliaz. The latter was the earliest trans woman in hardcore, according to LNR's research. "She co-produced the first ever Bonzai record before Jones & Stephenson's 'The First Rebirth' came out and made the label go crazy," LNR told us. "Sadly she died in 2001 but it felt important to me to include her music in this mix. Shout out to other old-school female techno, hardcore, and jungle legends who didn't make the mix this time: Ixindamix, Laura Grabb, Miss Djax, Kemistry & Storm, and DJ Rap."

Composer, producer, and DJ dragongirl has recorded a mix for us featuring some of her own tracks too. Having released her critically acclaimed debut album 'hot blue' on the Norwegian label Sheep Chase Records in 2023, dragongirl has since brought her vibrant sound to some of Northern Europe's most well-known clubs and festivals including Denmark's Den Anden Side, Berlin's OST and OXI, and Kaleido Festival. Her sets blend trance, techno and happy hardcore with influences from Eurodance, gabber and EDM, inviting her audience on a playful and unexpected adventure. And that's exactly what dragongirl mirrors in this week's mix.

For the May edition of the Fast Forward Audio Series, we present: Nuir

Nuir is a self-taught producer and DJ based in Paris, known for her boundary-pushing approach to electronic music. Drawing inspiration from a rich electronic music culture that spans IDM, trance, techno, and the free party scene, Nuir has carved out a unique sonic identity.

She made her debut as a producer on Mama Told Ya and has since continued to push boundaries with her sound, releasing music on labels such as Maison Close, Ghetec, and, most recently, TM8.

Rooted in Parisian club culture and the French free party movement, Nuir has performed across numerous European cities, including Copenhagen, Bristol, and Yerevan.

Her music has received support from internationally recognized artists, including Mama Snake and Anetha, affirming her growing influence and fearless ability to merge hardware, software, vocals, and live instrumentation into a singular, evolving sound.

About the mix:
This one-hour mix embodies what I seek during this challenging time we are facing — a sonic space for both release and reflection. Deeply connected to the culture that has shaped my identity, I am now driven to contribute to this vision: music as a powerful political and emotional force, creating a space where everyone can freely express themselves.
I wanted the mix to reach both emotional depths and euphoric highs — blending deep introspection with high-energy club sounds. It's about connection through contrast, and the healing power of dance.

Enjoy!

Chilean DJ and artist puxo shares a mix of deconstructed and club-ready sounds with us this week. The Barcelona-based talent leans into Latin rhythms, choppy percussion, and emotional textures across their sets, creating a mood that blurs the lines between rhythmic intensity and sonic experimentation. Having established their profile within the Barcelona scene by playing parties like Latineo, MUSA, Deprerreo, and No Tags, puxo has since released an ambient EP as a parallel exploration to their artistic output, revealing a more introspective side of their sound.
