Arriving at her experimental sound after a decade on the scene, Nikki Tesla’s Birmingham roots interlace with a love of ambient soundscapes to form a winding fabric of bass-heavy rollers. Describing her sound as somewhere between swamp-squelch and percussive groove, Tesla’s mixes intricately straddle the dancefloor and listening party. 

Using her platform as a radio host on Soho Radio and Community Director for female and gender minority collective Selextorhood, she actively addresses the deep-rooted gender imbalances prevalent throughout the electronic music scene. 

Nikki is now based in London and has just launched a new venture, The Sauna Social Club. Based in Peckham and filled with ambient sounds and well-being.  

Turn The Tables is a mini series exploring three female DJ’s, their journey with music and experiences in the industry.

Hosted by Sister Smalls and Daniel Pearce.
