A trailblazing musical polymath, heralded by the likes of DJ Mag, Clash, The Wire and Resident Advisor, NikNak is known for distinctive turntablism, immersive compositions, and captivating improvised performances. This spring, she's preparing to release 'Ireti', her fourth studio album. Embracing her identity as a self-proclaimed nerd and advocate for diversity, the new LP draws on Afrofuturism and cyberpunk aesthetics to explore the intersection of humanity and technology.
