At just 17 years old, nikko is already demonstrating an uncanny ability to weave together sounds and emotions that belie his age, and his new EP serves as a prime example.
It’s been a series of recent firsts for the ascendant producer, who after making his live performance debut with Brownies & Lemonade, teamed up with NIGHTMODE on his first label release, Deceiver.
The EP kicks off with “BETTER4U,” a track that effortlessly marries the nostalgic charm of classic house with contemporary flair. The result is a track that feels like a heartfelt nod to the past while firmly planting its feet in the present, showcasing nikko’s ability to bridge the generational worlds of dance music.
On the flip side, “Masta” is a daring departure into the realm of trap music, marked by an ominous intro that quickly escalates into a full-blown auditory assault. This track is a masterclass in tension and release, with pitch-bending vocal chops and a relentless barrage of warped risers that keeps listeners on the edge of their seats. With “Masta” nikko aptly captures the raw, unbridled energy of the genre while infusing it with a level of controlled chaos and creativity that is often reserved for veterans of the genre.
An offering that spans the nostalgic to the innovative, nikko’s label debut marks a significant milestone in his burgeoning career. Check out the EP below and find it on streaming platforms here.
