Schroove Rising / Nikolina
A chat with Nikolina, born Ronja, Berlin-based German DJ reshaping techno through her signature sound, Schroove, a powerful blend of hard techno, Schranz and groove. Her journey began at fourteen within Berlin’s underground scene, then after connecting with the NAKT community and launching her DJ career in 2021, her rise was meteoric: months of sold-out shows, major festivals such as Verknipt, and international tours across Europe, Colombia, and North America. Nikolina here appears photographed in exclusive by Marco Giuliano and styled by Anca Macavei.

At Art Basel Miami, the American artist's installation turns the 1997 Mercedes C280 into a drifting witness to the fragmentary pulse of the road. In collaboration with The Patina Collective, the work unfolds as a meditation on the human-machine relationship, where moments dissolve into rhythm, emotion flickers through metal, and the journey becomes both physical and psychological.

/by Editor NastyLove and Psychosis / Guillotine
Guillotine steps forward as one of New York’s most arresting new voices, an artist shaped by the intensity of queer nightlife, the emotional voltage of personal rupture, and a background spent curating QPOC and LGBTQ+ spaces where liberation becomes ritual. Their debut EP “You’re Going To Be Ok, Just Not Tonight” turns that lived experience into a devotional landscape, merging spiritual imagery with a raw emotional autobiography.
In our conversation, Guillotine distills the essence of the project: love as devotion, heartbreak as ritual, and desire as a force that destroys and remakes.
