Wild City #240: Nariki

23 September 2024

The first 3 minutes of Aashna Anand aka Nariki's Wild City mix itself are a good statement on simplicity. After a straightforward introduction of the rhythms and textures that one can expect from what's to unfold, the music dials back pretty soon – like the stop before the first drop on a roller coaster ride that sets the energy for the rest of the journey. It's moments like this or the tasteful midpoint break of 'Athenia' by Derek Carr that keep pumping energy into a mix which is a short and constantly-but-subtly-moving affair.

Operating at the point where house starts to look a lot like techno, Nariki's mix is completely led by its selection and its flow, which she lets play out. It allows her to be highly intentful in her choices, picking mostly deeper cuts with an evaluation and insight honed by her background in music journalism.

"The mix strikes a balance between introspective melodies and dancefloor-ready beats, making it versatile and appealing for a wide audience." – Nariki
