Nika Son works as a musician, artist, film composer, DJ and curator in Hamburg. In her compositions, video- and soundworks she examines multi-sensory perception, its bounderies and interaction, but also forms of manipulation and illusion.

Weaving oneiric musique concrète with analog and digital synthesis, broken rhythms, voices and modulated tape, her work captures the fluid, ever-shifting nature of the night, making the familiar strange and the surreal strangely familiar. Sounds of various origin are translated into a very unusual musical language, as if one watches the audible.

Her debut album was released on the label Entr'acte/Stellage in 2020. Her new album Aslope came out 2024 on V I S, as well as the soundtrack DRIFT on Futura Resistenza.

Furthermore she hosts regular art and music events at various venues, mainly at Golden Pudel Club in Hamburg. Since 2019 she is co-curator of the festival Papiripar.
