Nina Kraviz

On the eve of Labour Day, Novel will host world-renowned artists Nina Kraviz and Aurora Halal for their long-overdue Melbourne club show. Prepare yourself to be treated to a duo of world-class techno practitioners…

If anyone can stake a claim for being techno's biggest drawcard, it would be Russia's most famous dance music export, Nina Kraviz. One of the most talked-about names in contemporary dance music, she is a dance persona who has transmogrified the underground scene by becoming a social and cultural identity. It's easy to get sidetracked by the media attention following Kraviz, but those tuned in to the nuances of dance music know that she is a once-in-a-generation artist and a true tastemaker.

For proof, look no further than her 'Trip' imprint. It is littered with productions that sound like sourced from a distant future where exceptional artists operate on as yet undiscovered frequencies. The label is fresh, exciting and increasingly impressive. Her DJ sets can be a musical voyage bordering on the fantastical. They can include everything from forgotten classics to modern techno rooted in experimental layers.

Joining Nina Kraviz will be the shadowy and psychedelic sounds of New Yorker, Aurora Halal. As the creator of influential Brooklyn party series 'Mutual Dreaming' and the Sustain-Release event, Aurora has positioned herself as one of America's foremost authorities of imaginative and unique techno. Her distinctive sound has found favour with forward-thinking global events including Unsound, Atonal and Nachtdigital. She gets regular bookings at worldwide clubs including Berghain.
