nikko – RED RAVE [NIGHTMODE]

Rising star nikko returns to NIGHTMODE to deliver his latest two-track offering 'RED RAVE,' which shows him flipping old-school rave influences into a nasty double-sided offering, arriving as the next statement piece from NIGHTMODE's 16th season of releases.

Bursting onto the scene from North Arizona, nikko is an explosive producer who was seemingly born to break down genre conventions, erecting an expansive catalog of tracks that combine rave influences from then with cutting-edge sounds of now. He's returning to NIGHTMODE to issue his follow-up two-track offering 'RED RAVE,' a pair of festival-ready cuts furthering his reputation for paying respect to sounds from the early rave days.

"DONT PLAYY" is an adrenaline-surging speed house track bridging UK garage energy, weighty bass house sensibilities, and the signature genre-splicing sonic fingerprint that put him on the map in the first place. It packs just the right amount of throwback swagger and festival-focused energy to push the intensity through the roof. Filling out the B-side is "SIDE2SIDE," a party-starting house number stuffed to the gills with nonstop energy. Classic house-style vocal loops and ambient crowd chatter emulate the feeling of being deep in the throes of a legendary night out, as fuzzy bassline pulses, rapid-fire laser fills, wailing sirens, and jazzy detuned chords work in unison to make the walls feel like they're one bouncing bar away from caving in.
