FMB MIXTAPE 248 | NIKI LAUDA (iTUNES)
This week on the Feel My Bicep mixtape, we welcome Niki Lauda! Niki is a Bulgarian queer artist who started by DJ’ing and throwing events in Grenada, and now Barcelona. As a big part of the spanish electronic scene, they have played at the likes of Sónar, Primavera Sound, Boiler Room, Elrow and more. Let’s catch up with them…
Recently I’ve been on a rollercoaster because I’ve just moved to a new home in Barcelona with a new job in the music industry so now my days are really busy because I also have to combine it with my personal projects. So I have these thoughts laying in bed like finally I am on the path I wanted all these years and my ambition continues to grow so if I don’t start organizing myself better and resume therapy it will eat me up. Also why is downtempo not on trend? Let trip hop make a comeback, pleaseeee.
I recorded it for the first time playing in my new home with my own equipment (I was without it for like a year), and my roomies were listening to it, so cute. My computer crashed yesterday so I had to put together last minute tracks mixed with my friend’s songs… a rollercoaster, sis.
So you can find lots of percussion, an underline dubstep rhythm, very deep, very clubby. Some political message and 3 unreleased tracks from 3 Barcelona based artists talented as phuck. It is somehow a tribute to the city of Barcelona, since it has changed my life. :)
Up Next…
Inspiration and being with my friends. We are going to the Unsound Festival in Poland for the weekend and I’m very excited that I can take this mini break to connect with them and dance, eat, laugh, cry, sleep together in a city I’ve never been to. No work, just vibes. Thank you for listening!<3
