Between Techno, Tech House, and Minimal
What sets Nina Kraviz apart from many of her colleagues is the breadth of her sound. Instead of confining herself to a narrow genre corset, she moves between driving techno, groovy tech house, and stripped-down minimal. It's precisely this flexibility that has earned her sets on large stages and in small clubs alike over the years.
трип as her own channel
With трип, Nina Kraviz runs her own label. For artists who tour internationally, such independent labels have long been more than just a side project: they allow you to determine release dates yourself, without being dependent on the cycles of other labels, and provide a solid anchor point for your own musical direction.
The collaboration with Jean-Michel Jarre
Nina Kraviz also gained recognition beyond the techno scene through her collaboration with Jean-Michel Jarre, a pioneer of electronic music. Such collaborations show how permeable the boundaries between generations of electronic music have become – from early synthesizer experiments to today's club techno.
