FROM PASSIONATE RAVER TO MULTIFACETED MAVEN
As the pandemic eased in 2021, NIKOLINA acquired her first DJ equipment. What started as a hobby transformed into a career during her debut set at the NAKT Rave. The moment ignited a newfound passion, propelling her towards her destiny as NIKOLINA.
“In 2021, during the Covid-19 pandemic, I bought my first DJ equipment to start practising. Once the pandemic eased, I put my event management skills to work and organized the first NAKT Rave at Anomalie Club in Berlin. Moritz, who runs NAKT, encouraged me to perform at the event, marking my debut set. Overwhelmed with emotion during my performance, I felt a newfound passion ignite within me. This was the moment I decided to turn my hobby into a career. And that’s when my jour- ney as NIKOLINA truly began.”
THE RHYTHMIC ROLLERCOASTER OF SCHRANZ
NIKOLINA’s love affair with Schranz, an intense and unique style, unfolded. The genre’s constant energy, fueled by a repetitive rumble kick, became her canvas. It wasn’t just about beats; it was a hypnotic journey through rhythms and details, a captivating experience on the dance floor.
“I love playing Schranz because it brings this unique vibe that you just don’t get from other hard-hitting genres. It’s all about that repetitive rumble kick. It gives the music this constant energy which changes the vibe totally on the dancefloor.
Schranz really
different way. The beats are so strong and constant, it feels like a musical rollercoaster. The rhythm just keeps going and it’s almost hypno- tic, taking you on an exciting journey. But Schranz isn’t just about powerful beats; it’s about the small details. These rhythms give people a way to express themselves in many different forms.”
CRAFTING SONIC STORIES
For NIKOLINA, curating a DJ set is akin to telling a story. Each track carefully chosen, seamlessly connected, and devoid of long breaks. It’s not just about the beats; it’s about taking the crowd on an emotional ride, creating an immersive experience that transcends the ordinary.
“When it comes to assembling my DJ sets, it’s like crafting a story. I begin by delving deeply into various tracks, searching for ones that resonate with the atmosphere I aim to create—the opening track acts as the initial spark, establishing the mood for the entire journey.
I’m not a fan of long breaks; I like to keep the energy flowing non-stop. It’s all about that seamless connection between tracks, keeping the dance floor grooving without missing a beat.
