Coming up in the DIY underground scene, Nikki Nair built his sound from longtime party experience. His ease in commanding peake-hour dance floors and twisting dance genres into amorphous ragers carries a natural intuition with it. One can get a taste of this when perusing his resident Rinse FM sets, but to truly Nair out one must experience him onstage – a fact bolstered by hard-hitting sets at fabric London, Nitsa, HORST, Glastonbury, and the Sydney Opera House. With such a wide range of flavours available, Nair’s work has appropriately found homes on diverse labels like Warp Records, Future Classic, Studio Barnhaus, VISION, Pineapple, and Pretty Weird.
