Niconé

Based in Berlin, Niconé has been developing an electronic music style since the late 2000s that sits between deep house, tech house and minimal, with a marked focus on melody and song-like structures. His trajectory is rooted in the Berlin scene — club culture, afterhours and independent labels — through which he circulates his productions, remixes and collaborations. Several releases on Dantze and work with other producers of his generation, including Sascha Braemer, accompanied this phase of emergence. Over the years Niconé has steered his writing toward a more narrative house, sometimes tinged with electronic pop, while retaining the sober, repetitive rhythmic foundation inherited from minimal. His sound relies on supple grooves, recurring vocal motifs and production that favors the clarity of textures over a massive sound, creating an aesthetic that links dance, gentle melancholy and a sense of the chorus.
