As part of our podcast series we proudly share the recording of the first part of NM DJ's set during our anniversary celebration at OHM.

Nadia Marcus is a poet, vocalist, DJ and designer. She spins under the NM DJ moniker, holds a residency at Berlin’s Refuge Worldwide radio station, and plays regularly for another residency at the listening bar kwia. Her musical range is wide, spanning spaced-out deep house cuts to hip-hop to liquid drum & bass – whatever the genre or style, the presence of groove and spirit is paramount, and has bumped out of systems across Berlin such as OHM, Tresor, Arkaoda and Sameheads. 

Marcus is co-editor of TABLOID Press, an imprint founded in Berlin in 2014. The publishing house maintains a focus on the text as a social space – for instance, in 2022 TABLOID released Breathing Room, a longform interview with Lakuti and Tama Sumo, focusing on pre- and post-pandemic dancefloor culture. Marcus’ poetry, art criticism and lyric journalism, often circling around the history and poetics of dance music, have also appeared in Arts of the Working Class, The Ransom Note and Edit. In addition to the collections of clothing Marcus silkscreens and releases under the TABLOID imprint, she has worked as a designer for numerous record labels including Uzuri, 3XL, wood//work and West Mineral Ltd.

NM DJ - Our Society Podcast #002

Ushering in two far reaching forces in the Australian dance music scene, Kate Miller (@katemiller) and Emelyne (@emelyne-khor), hitting the waves b2b with an improvised and amicable dub bound turned dance battle, ahead of what is sure to be an iconic set at tomorrow’s D-Street Studio Party at the Sydney Opera House as part of VIVID Sydney, along side Mad Miran (NL) and Piezo (IT). 

Both Emelyne and Kate are bold and emphatic selectors, with well earnt badges as ‘music chameleons’, delivering wide-ranging sets which move with fluidity between UK-inspired sounds, bombastic broken beat, forward-thinking rhythmic productions, booming dub, drum and bass, IDM and footwork.
