Deep!

DJ: Nikki

Country: Sweden

Nikki is one of Stockholm’s most prolific deep/soulful house profiles. Her style is in a spiritual vein, moving through r'n'b, latin sounds and afro-jazzy vibes. In 2001 she got her first tastes of dj:ing at various private parties and fell in love with deep house, a style of music that was rarely exposed in her native hometown of Stockholm. In 2004 she got involved with Stockholm dj network "Sister Sthlm" and their club "Eklektik". ´

She has since then been playing at one of Stockholms biggest house clubs, ”Gobang!", landing her own residency at Berns terrace in the summer of 2006 and hosted the Midweek Soul nights @ Centro in the fall of 2006. Apart from this she has played a variation of well-known venues around Stockholm, such as Marie Laveau, Spy Bar, Grodan and Clarion. In the spring of 2007 she was involved in organizing club SoulMates, a branch of the popular underground London club night with the same name.

Nikki has also guested venues like One Happy Cloud and Loop bar (Athens, Greece) and played alongside acts such as Ame and Quentin Harris. From February of 2007 she holds a residency at one of Stockholm's most visited bars, Scandic Anglais. 2007 also saw her introducing her own Internet radio shows on www.Cyberjamz.com and www.globalsoul.com. Currently Nikki is attending the Audio Production Program @ Sound engineering University SAE with the aim to deepen her knowledge of sound from the inside and create and produce her own original music.

Apart from working as a dj, Nikki is an established reviewer/journalist for Sweden's biggest alternative Music Magazine, Sonic Magazine. 2007 also saw the launching of Nicola's company Nikmusic, dedicated to communication work within the music scene. Find out more on www.nikmusic.se.
