Native born Transilvanian, now Brighton based DJ/performer, Nico has carved her own niche with a unique blend of Balkan/Swing & Electro sounds, the emphasis is on the Balkan!
Often combining live tuba, clarinetists, dancers and aerialists in her performance, Nico is the consummate entertainer. Her infectious upbeat energy behind the turntables as she smiles and dances unleashing slabs of brass, gypsy folk songs, swing basslines all underpinned with a heavy electronic beat for the dance floor has seen her booked world wide at events such as The Big Chill, Secret Garden, Bestival, Solid like Rock(Romania) , Brighton festival, Eurocultured as well as her own night 'Super Mishto' in Brighton and Bucharest. “The music that I play is influenced by my childhood memories of gypsies, communist fanfara music, old french cafe music, traditional folk" says Nico, " and my teenage years of clubbing till the early hours to a mixture of gypsy sounds, electronica, rock, drum and bass, broken beat, swing, funk and so on. I like experimenting and combining the traditional feel with new cutting edge sounds"
