N:CK aka Nicolò Temperini, is an artist who has made sound research the driving force of his musical journey. His meticulous and almost artisanal approach to music selection and production sets him apart in the contemporary music landscape, where sonic aesthetics become both language and identity.

His productions are characterized by depth and timbral complexity: every sound is carefully selected and sculpted through a creative process that combines intuition, study, and detailed manipulation. The unconventional use of textures, samples, and broken rhythms gives rise to tracks that resist easy categorization, yet maintain a strong expressive coherence. He favors the use of analog and modular synthesizers tools that allow him to shape each sound in an unrepeatable way, making every track a unique sonic work. This choice is not merely technical, but conceptual: the uniqueness and imperfection of analog sound become a vehicle for deeply personal and unreplicable expression.

During his DJ sets, N:CK brings the same attention and sensitivity he applies in the studio. Each track is selected with the aim of crafting a coherent, engaging, and never banal sonic journey one where the tension between structure and chaos, rhythm and abstraction, creates a space for deep and transformative listening.

N:CK does not seek immediate impact, but rather works to create experiences that leave a lasting impression, evoking inner landscapes through vibrations that speak directly to both body and mind.

“Work hard in silence, let your success be your noise.”
