NIKKNAME is an Austria-based DJ & producer who has contributed plenty Jorkes’ Freeride Millenium label over the years and is also a mainstay of the Vienna scene. As well as offering up standout singles, he’s featured on the IMPACT and Queer Base compilations and also made his way to Ombra International and Mangali. As he offers up two darkly seductive new electronic disco cuts on his ‘Polvere’ EP, DMCWorld goes Back To Mine with NIKKNAME.
Prince – Purple Rain
Selecting a favourite is nearly impossible, and I find myself speechless when trying to capture the essence of this artist’s talent.
The Smiths – Bigmouth Strikes Again
The mastery behind the vocals, the music, and how everything seamlessly blends together is absolutely mind-blowing to me every time I listen to it.
Dr Alban – Hello Africa
The first time I truly experienced music on a top-notch sound system was while listening to this song. Its sound filled the entire room with energy.
Abul Mogard – Half Light of Dawn
It’s one of my favourite pieces of ambient music. Every time I hear it, it evokes memories and nostalgia.
Trentemøller – Take Me Into Your Skin
This track is truly fire for the ears.
Daft Punk – Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger
Whenever I attempt to craft a track with a vocoder, I’m drawn to listening to this one. Afterwards, I often find myself deleting the vocoder, yet that’s just the beginning of what I can say about this musical gem.
Michael Jackson – Bad
I was dancing to it when I was 12, and I still do the same thing. I love it.
Queen – Another One Bites The Dust
Freddie, you are an artist who will never, ever be forgotten.
Moderat – Bad Kingdom
Certain songs are truly timeless, and this one holds a special place for me.
Damon Jee – Drifter
This track completely shifted my perspective on music production.
NIKKNAME ‘Polvere’ EP is out now on Freeride Millenium.
