NikNak, a trailblazing musical polymath, has established herself as a unique force in the electronic music scene with her high-octane experimental jungle that borders on the truly cinematic.
Her latest single, ‘12000RPM’, released via Accidental Records, serves as a captivating preview of her fourth studio album 'Ireti’, scheduled for release on 21 May. Embracing her identity as a self-proclaimed nerd, NikNak draws inspiration from iconic films and video games such as 'Blade Runner' and 'Cyberpunk 2077’.
With a fusion of turntablism, experimental synthesis, haunting vocals and dynamic electronic elements, NikNak crafts a cinematic experience that transcends genres, encompassing jazz, jungle and experimental.
Describing the context of '12000RPM' within the album, NikNak explains, "‘12000RPM’ is a fight scene. The main character is being chased by enforcers around the city, doing parkour through the rainy streets before an epic fight scene unfolds like something out of ‘District 13’ or ‘The Boondocks’. It's also arguably the most dancey track on the album too… one for the DJs, for sure”.
