Nikolina | Mixmag Lab London

Nikolina is a Berlin DJ, born Ronja, who has been part of the city's rave scene since her teens. Nikolina first began performing in 2021 and was drawn to schranz from the outset, according to Mixmag. Nasty Magazine describes the Nikolina style as Schroove, a schranz built around groove. Mixmag lists Gotec in Karlsruhe and the Parada Wolności in Łódź, Poland, among notable Nikolina bookings. Nikolina played The Mixmag Lab at The Cause in London on Sunday 12 April, ahead of a headline set from Mixmag cover star AZYR. The 12 April session at The Cause was the first all-day Mixmag Lab, curated by AZYR. The Mixmag upload names Faster Horses, Yasemin Gardezi and AZYR among the others who played The Cause that Sunday. The Mixmag upload notes that Nikolina has played techno festivals including Verknipt and We Are One. Mixmag published the Nikolina Mixmag Lab London set on its YouTube channel on 15 May 2026.
