Atlanta-based Producer and DJ Nikki Nair is up next for #22 of our Tapes series. In such a short time, he’s distinguished himself as a bold voice in the landscape of hybridized dance music and has released on Scuffed, Pretty Weird, Gobstopper, Banoffee Pies, Muy Muy Limited, TRAM Planet, and Dirtybird. Nair’s productions, in conjunction with his selection skills, establish him as a fresh, unconventional voice in dance music and we’re excited to be welcoming him for our Origins Tapes series.

Hailing from south-east London via Bath is co-founder of the newly formed Black Artist Database (FKA Black Bandcamp), NIKS. Versatile leftfield digger and selector, NIKS’ face and name has become the forefront of the underground scene and is one activist to keep your eye on.
