Originating from Macau, Portuguese artist Nigls has been blending tracks for over a decade. Relocating to Beijing in 2012, he established himself as a local figure in the underground electronic music scene.
By becoming a mainstay in the line-ups of the acclaimed underground institution - Lantern Club, he found the space to go deeper in refining his taste by exploring diverse electronic music territories and implementing it on the dancefloor.
Nigls likes a playful blend of styles and approaches the mix with this perception, stretching between genres in longer sets, while time is key to creating a journey with diverse landscapes. As an avid dancefloor frontliner, it allowed him to have a wide understanding of its aesthetics, interiorizing those experiences to reflect them on his own DJ sets. With strong House and Techno foundations, Nigls likes to explore vast soundscapes and their variants: Deep, Dub, Minimal, Acid, Electro, Breakbeat.
In 2018 he founded the FORMA series. The event label focuses on a more minimalist edge of House and Techno music while exploring the symbiosis between sound and art.
Forwarding to 2022, Nigls co-founded BLINK, a festival for the community, aiming to escape from the fast-paced city life through nature, music, and art. Furthermore, together with other local artists, Nigls is curating club nights in Beijing with varied musical themes such as Elastic People and record:eep.
