NVST

Originally from Lausanne, she has built her musical identity on a radical, uncompromising approach, drawing from the legacy of illegal raves and the free party movement to shape a hybrid, intense, and deeply engaged sound. Her punk and experimental approach electrifies crowds worldwide, and her unpredictable, powerful sets break down genre barriers—blending breakbeats, techno, acid, and industrial—to plunge the audience into a collective trance.

A hyperactive and relentless artist, NVST is constantly on the move. She is a regular guest at some of the most prestigious festivals (Amsterdam Dance Event, Positive Education, Dekmantel Selectors, Rural) and the most influential clubs of the moment (Garage Noord, Tresor, Ankali, Zhao Dai). Her performance at Dekmantel Amsterdam and her Boiler Room set confirm her status as a key figure in underground electronic music. Her reach now extends far beyond Europe, with multiple tours in Asia and Latin America.

But NVST doesn’t stop at DJ sets. She also explores live performance through Drift Institute, a project with Breton artist Théo Muller, blending post-punk, abstract, and techno, as well as Sixsixsevenfortyseven, her experimental duo with Dutch artist Zohar.

When it comes to production, NVST masters the studio with surgical precision. Her catalog continues to grow, featuring one EP, six solo albums, and an album with Drift Institute. Her tracks, played across the globe, have been released on renowned labels such as Fabric Records, Dekmantel Records, Tresor Records, SSPB (Seilscheibenpfeiler), Les Disques Magnétiques, and Maloca.

Alongside her career as a DJ and producer, NVST co-directs Big Science, a sound experimentation lab dedicated to the most radical fringes of electronic music, together with Warzou. A resident on Kiosk Radio and Rinse FM, she continues to push the boundaries of her craft, asserting an uncompromising and fiercely independent vision of electronic music.

Nicola inhabits various positions - be it as DJ, producer, space-owner, record label owner and party organizer. For Nicola, these numerous positions are not static, and they can act fluidly and reciprocally as a whole, or as separate entities. His artistic and acoustic productions are mostly based on topics that include the institutionalization of techno, copyright, dividualism and the human perception of repetitive rhythm patterns mixed with aesthetic codes of b-movie horror movies or occultism. He is affiliated to the labels Les Points/Gentrified Underground/Infoline, the manga project FREQ, on which he is collaborating with writer legend Dai Sato (Ergo Proxy, Eureka Seven, Cowboy Bebop) and the offspace Mikro Zürich, one allowed him to play regularly in clubs abroad (Tresor Berlin, Contact Tokyo, Input Barcelona, Rex Paris, Modeci Seoul and many more) and the other helped spark a new wave of alternative partying in Zürich besides the static norm & framework.
