Nikolina

Schroove as a dancefloor statement

The punch of Schranz and the physical movement of groove place NIKOLINA at the forefront of European hard techno. Based in Berlin, the German artist has turned intensity into a tool for connection: her sets work with robust kicks, hypnotic rhythms, and a continuous pressure that seeks to keep the dancefloor in tension without losing body awareness. She defines this mix as Schroove, a way of understanding techno where the energy of hard techno intersects with a more elastic rhythmic sensibility.

From the front row to the booth

Her relationship with electronic music was formed at a very young age in the Berlin nightlife. At fourteen, she began to approach rave culture, and at sixteen, she went through a phase marked by psytrance, house, and melodic references like RÜFÜS DU SOL before turning toward Schranz and high-voltage techno. Her contact with the Berlin collective and brand NAKT, where she began modeling in 2018, expanded her bond with the scene and took her from the dancefloor to the booth. During the pandemic, she bought her first DJ equipment, organized a NAKT rave at Anomalie, and in July 2021, she performed her first gig, the starting point of a career that accelerated rapidly.

Raves, booths, and international leap

Since 2023, her schedule gained international dimension. That year, she debuted with Verknipt at their Easter Special, followed by a month with twelve sold-out performances, performed in Paris at Nexus, and toured Colombia with dates in Pasto, Bogotá, Medellín, and Manizales. Shortly after came her debut in the United States and Canada, with stops in Atlanta, Los Angeles, New York, and Toronto. The connection with Gotec Club, in Karlsruhe, also became key: there she signed extended sessions, an all-night session in 2024, and a charity event aimed at supporting a local cancer treatment center.

Production, platforms, and the present

In the studio, her name appears alongside Schering on Dizzy, a track on which she is credited as a composer, and later on No More Lies, a TELETECH release dated December 2025 and credited on platforms such as Beatport, Bandcamp, Apple Music, and Deezer. Her audiovisual growth was consolidated with high-impact sets such as NIKOLINA | Main Floor - Gotec Club | 1 1/2H Schranz Set, lasting over an hour and a half, and her Boiler Room x Teletech: London session, a showcase of the hardest sounds of current techno. With booking at JINN Agency, NIKOLINA represents a generation that understands the rave as a space for physical release, aesthetic identity, and emotional expression.
