Dance music’s villain conductor, Nikita, the Wicked, just unleashed “LOOK” with Emi Grace on Helix Records. The single marks the first tease from his forthcoming EP, slated for release this November. “LOOK” embodies Nikita’s signature orchestral chaos—shapeshifting classical samples into a powerful, bass-driven tune that fuses high drama with raw energy. The track not only blurs genre lines but also delivers the dark, cinematic edge that has become his unmistakable trademark.
Nikita has earned a reputation as one of bass music’s most electrifying performers. He has ignited festivals like Lost Lands, Project Glow, and Escapade in Canada with explosive sets. Along the way, he opened for Zeds Dead, REZZ, Illenium, Levity, ALLEYCVT, SLANDER, NGHTMRE, and Trivecta. In the studio, he earned respect through official collaborations and a remix for Louis the Child. Nikita constantly pushes boundaries live and in production, cementing his cinematic, villainous style.
Nikita’s vision stretches far beyond the stage. Guided by his mantra—“finding the beauty in the imperfect, the elegance in the twisted, the grace within the chaos”—he creates worlds that are visually striking and sonically daring. He draws inspiration from surrealist master Salvador Dalí and underground hip-hop icon MF DOOM, fusing surrealism, global culture, and bass music. The result is a brand unapologetically defined by beautiful darkness.
He commented, “I really enjoy the juxtaposition of the eerie choir sample from the 1900s and UKG drums on this track! Emi’s vocals provided a lot of space in the mix which makes this such a unique yet minimal bass record. This record will be the first glimpse of this villainous conductor character I have created.”
“LOOK” signals the start of Nikita’s next chapter. The forthcoming EP promises more cinematic chaos, theatrical production, and genre-defying bass. Fans can stream the single now on Spotify, Apple Music, and all major platforms. Nikita is also bringing his villainous energy to stages nationwide on his upcoming tour, delivering high-octane, unforgettable performances. Don’t miss the chance to witness Nikita, the Wicked, in full effect—both on record and live.
