NIKKA


At Sonar 2009, myself and my good friend Maya ventured into a little room/gallery and stumbled across this amazing producer/DJ called Nikka. Today I saw an article on her in FACT magazine online in their 'new talent' feature, and was so pleased to have come across her again.
She is based in Barcelona and her set was accompanied by an incredible visual show, so rather than any old electronic set one might dance around to, we were all seated and were lead through a visual and aural experience quite like no other.
If you ever hear of her playing somewhere, get there as soon as you can! A massive soundsystem is absolutely vital for the full effects...
Check out a snippet of stuff you might hear here.http://soundcloud.com/alphaville/alpha-podcast-presents-nikka
