Nakano Blue

Amsterdam based DJ and producer NAKANO BLU has come into the scene during the turbulent year of 2021, after switching from his drumming career towards dark electronic music.

Being active for many years as a hip-hop producer and multi-purpose session drummer, he changed focus towards a new project motivated by the inspiring sounds of Amsterdam`s club scene, where techno is king and there is a big space for experimental DJ and producers to play their tracks for an electronic-loving crowd.

His first single release with cologne-based label Urban Undergrounds was a more chilled, outsider house track, but his production style evolved quickly into the IDM and lo-fi techno sounds of his first EP, Æ, released with Berlin's label Corresponding Positions, house of releases from techno legends like Umwelt or Templer.

Following this evolution NAKANO BLU progressed into the breakbeat productions and fast-moving DJ sets that contain an eclectic mix of techno, IDM and juke/ghetto, this new direction can be heard on his last EP release, 'The Sky is Synthetic', on the renowned underground label LXVIII, defining his particular DJ style and ready to smash the dance floor of any club.
