It 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? Then later in life, Nikita attended a party in a warehouse that would change his life forever (Circa 93?) - Nikita became one of Denver?s ?underground party-scene offspring?! In 2000, Nikita left Denver for California?
Nikita?s music career began in San Francisco promoting the long-running 177 Club Townsend a.k.a. Club Universe and attending SFSU where he studied Audio Engineering and Music Business. While studying, Nikita co-owned Propaganda Extravaganza; a marketing and promotions company, started by long-time friend Astroboy Jim, while serving as an assistant to the President of the S.F. Entertainment Commission.
In the past six 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. Recognizing his popularity with the local crowds and his cutting edge DJ style, executives at California?s only FM dance station knew what most clubbers have already come to realize: if you want a fresh, cutting edge dance party with the hippest crowd, look no further than Nikita. It was Nikita?s raw talent that landed him a residency at San Francisco's legendary nightclub, The EndUp, as well as his recently acquired bi-weekly residency at the internationally acclaimed Supperclub.
Nikita has played along side the likes of Tom Stephan (Superchumbo), Robbie Rivera, and Tedd Patterson. His inspirations come from friends like Ms Honey Dijon and Danny Tenaglia? Whether it?s 2 or 8 hours, Nikita?s sets at The EndUp take you on a ride seamlessly blending deep progressive grooves, techno, breaks, and twisted tribal-tech house, yet still keeping it soulful and deep, bending all genres and creating a unique dance floor experience that continues to draw a diverse audience. During San Francisco?s LOVEFEST and Summer Music Festival, Nikita is scheduled to play with John Tejada, Doc Martin and DJ Sneak. Currently Nikita is working on his own music productions, so be sure to look out for his releases later this year?
