NUSHA: “I’M HAPPY TO SEE THAT MORE AND MORE WOMEN REPRESENT THE ELECTRONIC SCENE”.

YOU STARTED IN THE TECHNO SCENE IN 2007, MORE THAN 15 YEARS AGO. WHERE DOES YOUR PASSION FOR MUSIC COME FROM?

My passion for music has been with me since childhood, a constant companion! I remember vividly how I’d dance and sing every day, creating my own little concerts at home. Attending various music contests sparked my interest further, lighting up my imagination. It’s this early love that naturally led me to the vibrant techno scene!

WHAT MOMENT DO YOU CONSIDER HAS MARKED A BEFORE AND AFTER IN YOUR CAREER?

Well, before I was a DJ, I was a clubbing girl, and I was a fan of James Zabiela. I was mesmerized by his technique and performance. After some years, I was playing B2B with him. That was something else for me. If you dream big and work hard, you can achieve anything.

IF YOU HAD TO EXPLAIN YOUR STYLE TO SOMEONE WHO HAS NEVER BEEN TO ONE OF YOUR SESSIONS OR LISTENED TO ANY OF YOUR TRACKS, HOW WOULD YOU DEFINE IT?

I like to say that my set is a journey… From techno peak time to hard techno beats, blended with acid, hypnotic melodies, and trance synths from time to time. Going to my motto: If you want to dance till your shoes cry, you must check Nusha.

WHAT ARE YOUR ROUTINES WHEN PREPARING A SET? WHAT ELEMENTS DO YOU TAKE INTO ACCOUNT?

As I mentioned before, I select my tracks very carefully. Always with vocals, long breaks, and hard drops, and very groovy at the same time. I like to play fast and hard, but I am always groovy.

YOUR TRACKS SERENITY, CHAOS, AND ADDICTION HAVE ACCUMULATED OVER 10 MILLION STREAMS ON SPOTIFY. HOW MUCH IMPORTANCE DO YOU GIVE TO THESE NUMBERS?

It’s amazing to have such numbers on Spotify. People now use this platform a lot; therefore, streaming on Spotify helps the artist gain more visibility, and that’s great.

WHAT CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT YOUR NEXT COLLABORATION WITH BORIS BREJCHA?

I am super honored to be able to remix one of Boris Brejcha’s tracks. I feel happy about this opportunity, and I can’t wait for the release date to get feedback from the audience. I can just tell you this is an amazing remix.

WHERE CAN WE SEE YOU IN SPAIN?

I have recently played in Valencia at Barraca and Barcelona at Castell de Montjuic for the Traver event. In July, I will also play at Weekend Beach, Torre Del Mar.

WHICH SPANISH ARTISTS INSPIRE YOU?

Fatima Hajji. She is such an inspiration. Amazing technique and a volcanic set always.

HOW DO YOU THINK THE REPRESENTATION OF WOMEN IN ELECTRONIC MUSIC IS EVOLVING?

I am happy to see that more and more women represent the electronic scene. If in the past we could name a few female artists, nowadays things have changed a lot. And for good.

FINALLY, HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO FINISH 2024?

I am hoping to end 2024 on a high note, filled with successful gigs and memorable moments on the dance floor.
