Headlining a burgeoning wave of Naarm/Melbourne talent, nickname (aka Nick Wood) subscribes to a system-shredding style that is entirely his own. His maverick creations “bridge the gap” between destructive jungle, broken bass, and modern techno, evading any attempt to typecast. With his easy-going persona shining through his music, he delivers free-flowing and fractured pulses with a lighthearted grin. Having found homes on Phasmid’s ‘Taipan Trax’, STÜM’s ‘Happy Wax’, and Mincy’s ‘Extra Spicy’, nickname’s riotous releases have rampaged floors at the hands of VTSS, Kessler, and DJ Spit. His sounds have prompted airtime at Dekmantel and HÖR, with Rinse FM taking note, featuring the playful pro in their exclusive Spotify playlist. Leaving punters mesmerized, his bouncing blonde strands have topped bills across Naarm/Melbourne and Eora/Sydney. Forever gazing forward, nickname’s music lines his rhythmic trajectory. Made for centre stage.
