Nelly (NL)

Explorations beyond the dancefloor and emotional storytelling: Nelly crafts otherworldly soundscapes wherever she goes. The Rotterdam-based artist feels true and utter freedom behind the decks, drawing inspiration from nature and her own mind palace.

Nelly laces mind-altering techno and hypnotic trance with spellbinding rhythms, entrancing dancers with dark but elegant sounds. Accompanied by a past of self-exploration and finding balance, she’s undoubtedly discovered her voice through playing. Her path has led her to land a residency at the influential Garage Noord in 2023, alongside playing at venues and festivals, including Monument Festival Norway, Dekmantel Festival, Ankali Prague, and as a regular at De School over the last year.
