About Me

WWW.DJNIKITA.COMIt wasn’t too long ago that NIKITA ventured out from Denver, Colorado to pursue his dreams of working in the music industry. A lifelong love affair with music began as a young boy playing piano, singing and dancing… It wasn't until later later in life when Nikita attended a warehouse party that would change his life forever (Circa 93’) - Nikita became one of Denver’s ‘underground party-scene offspring’! In 2000, Nikita left Colorado for California…In the past eight years Nikita’s perseverance and pure love for quality dance music has placed him among the top DJs of San Francisco’s world-famous club scene. In 2005 Nikita was chosen to host his own radio show on Northern California's Energy 92.7 FM – The Massive Mix. It was Nikita’s raw talent that also landed him a residency at San Francisco's legendary nightclub, The EndUp.Performing anywhere from 2 to 8 hours; Nikita's playfulness behind the decks takes you on a ride seamlessly blending sick minimal grooves, heavy basslines, melodic synths, and twisted beats, while still keeping it soulful and deep.Nikita has played along side the likes of Lee Burridge, Steve Lawler, Steve Bug, M.A.N.D.Y., Tom Stephan (Superchumbo), Craig Richards and Damian Lazarus, with inspirations coming from friends like Ms. Honey Dijon, Tedd Patterson and Danny Tenaglia.Through his broad musical taste and genre bending, Nikita has always managed to create a unique dance floor experience that continues to draw a diverse audience.Nikita is currently working on his own music productions, so be sure to look out for his releases in 2008. ::: FOR BOOKINGS contact [email protected] :::====================================================ON A PERSONAL NOTE:smart, hot, centered, balanced, warm, loving, funny, fun, sassy, caring, compassionate, artsy-fartsy/dilettante, fashionable, slightly-neurotic, faithful, rich (in many ways).....get to know me ~ you can't help but love me.I live my life being the best person I can possibly be for myself...Every day is an experience and I am having fun along the way.
