Dance music’s self-proclaimed villain conductor, Nikita, The Wicked, is set to unleash his new single “LOOK” featuring Emi Grace on Helix Records this October 3. The track marks the first taste of his forthcoming EP, Blinded By Vanity, arriving this November.
“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.” — Nikita, The Wicked
“LOOK” embodies Nikita’s signature orchestral chaos—shapeshifting classical samples into a bass-driven record that fuses high drama with raw energy. The track blurs genre lines while delivering the dark, cinematic edge that has become his unmistakable trademark.
Building momentum from explosive festival sets at Lost Lands, Project Glow, and Escapade in Canada, Nikita has emerged as one of bass music’s most electrifying performers. He has opened for heavyweights including Zeds Dead, REZZ, Illenium, Levity, ALLEYCVT, Ivy Lab, Jauz, SLANDER, NGHTMRE, and Trivecta, while also landing an official collaboration and remix with Louis The Child. His festival resume spans diverse stages at Deadbeats Jamboree, Foam Wonderland, Breakaway Atlanta, Illfest, HiJinx, Northern Nights, GRIDLIFE, Infrasound, Goldrush, and more. This fall, he brings his villainous theatrics to Escape Halloween, one of California’s largest electronic music festivals.
Beyond the stage, Nikita has created a world as visually striking as it is sonically daring. Anchored by his mantra of “finding the beauty in the imperfect, the elegance in the twisted, the grace within the chaos,” his artistry is influenced by surrealist master Salvador Dalí and underground icon MF DOOM. His project fuses surrealism, global culture, and bass music into a vision unapologetically defined by beautiful darkness.
In a scene overflowing with heroes and euphoric anthems, Nikita, The Wicked steps into the role of the villain—feeding on chaos, captivating audiences, and rewriting how stories are told through dance music.
