Biography

Nikki Tesla is a Birmingham favourite on the DJ and Radio circuit and long time staple of female and gender minority music community Selextorhood. Displaying just some of her decidedly riotous selections on her own radio shows, Nikki is well-known for her choice of abrasive beats, aliens bleeps and dynamic percussion. Able to navigate through manifold styles of leftfield electronica she creates driving DJ sets and big energy mixes that consistently keep you guessing. Using her platform as a radio host for Komrad and audio content manager for Selextorhood, she actively addresses the deep-rooted gender imbalances prevalent throughout the electronic music scene. By keeping a 50:50 mentality across shows she brings new meaning to the art of crate digging, giving a voice to the lesser heard artists from across the gender spectrum. Starting her journey as a promoter in the hazy uni years, Nikki has continued to study, practice and perfect her skills leading to guest slots on Radio 1 and Reprezent, and supporting world-renowned artists such as Ben UFO, DJ Storm and Eclair Fifi. Further to her radio shows she’s also a key resident for underground party promoters 2:31 and Voyage Events. -- i liked this bit from the in focus but can’t figure out where to fit it in ---- she’s well poised to lead herself and a new wave of hopeful artists into a brighter future - compelling the tide that shifts towards a fairer, more equal society and music industry.
