Since exploding onto the Dance music scene, DJ Nika has quickly become one of New York's fastest growing talents. We caught up with the DJ and producer to find out the '10 Tracks That Made DJ Nika’.

Eric Prydz - Pjanoo

This was first ever track that I played in Webster Hall, NYC in October 2009. Eric Prydz was the first artist to inspire me to become an artist.


Red Hot Chili Peppers - Californication

https://youtu.be/YlUKcNNmywk

This is my favorite song from my teenage years. A lot good of memories are connected to this track. I remember my best friend and I were listening this over and over all day… Every time I listen to this track it brings back the memories of when I was 15, 16 years old…


Above & Beyond feat. Alex Vargas - Blue Sky Action

https://youtu.be/yU8Auh5Xp-8

A lot of things changed in my life after this track was released. I feel in love with Above & Beyond and listened to their ‘Group Therapy’ radio show every week. I hope I can go and meet them at one of their shows some day.


The Doors - People Are Strange

https://youtu.be/GJY8jJkDoMY

Old but always great! Always reminds me how we have to respect all the people who gave us so much music and love. After I listened to this song I start listening all Doors music, understanding more and more… I think we should listen back to move forward with great things.


Wu-Tang Clan - C.R.E.A.M

https://youtu.be/PBwAxmrE194

My music carrier starts with Hip-Hop - Yes! I was rapper back in 1999/2000 in my hometown Georgia. The Wu-Tang Clan was and they are #1 for me!


Ummet Ozcan - SuperWave

https://youtu.be/3SBMpYYyR7E

When I listened to this track for the very first time my sound started to change. Listening to this track helped me to find my sound. Thanks to Ummet, I have learnt a lot of things!


SNBRN feat. Kaleena Zanders - California (Chris Lake & Matroda Remix)

https://youtu.be/xMZbxqYJAN4

I meet Chris Lake in 2015 at Amsterdam airport and then in my hometown Georgia where I closed the night for him. He’s one of the best artists out there. I love Chris’ new tracks, they are always something new with a lot House music elements.


DVBBS & Dropgun feat. Sanjin - Pyramids

https://youtu.be/UXcQF1205o8

I listen DVBBS first track ‘Pyramids’ at the same time as Ummet’s tracks. This track and video gave me a lot of inspiration when producing my own music.


Paul Kalkbrenner - Sky and Sand

https://youtu.be/8ybFb_wKlvQ

When I saw Paul live in New York City, I began to understand how much beautiful Electronic Music is, how much energy there is in it and how much power it give us. I’ve listened to this track a million times already - every time I’m listening with a different vision, with a different motivation and a different emotion. What a beautiful track.


Bob Marley & The Wailers - No Woman No Cry

https://youtu.be/SV2hshsChlk

And Bob Marley of course! When I was kid in the 90s I had all of his albums. I was listening to his songs from a very young age, way before I started to think about being an artist. There are a lot great artists but he was always number one for me. He gave me so much understanding and a love for music.
