Producer, improviser, turntablist and DJ from Leeds, NikNak embraces the sonic and spiritual legacy of Afrofuturism, from Sun Ra to ‘Black Secret Technology’ and Flying Lotus, as a catalyst for imagining other worlds still waiting to be realised. Through a fluid interplay of jazz, jungle and experimental music, she constructs sonic fictions in which the dystopian realities of the present are pierced by flashes of hope. Grounded in an acute awareness of the world as it is, her work remains committed to the act of imagining what might yet come next. The first Black turntablist to receive the prestigious Oram Award, NikNak has earned acclaim from publications such as The Wire and DJ Mag. For good reason.
