Nico de Transilvania: Recent Episodes
Nico de Transilvania
Nico de Transilvania is the ultimate entertainer as a DJ and a performer. Bringing together a blend of Global Electronic Beats with Dance Music, native-born Transilvanian, Nico, has carved out her own niche as an international DJ. She often has live musicians, MC's and dancers performing with her, immersed in nature visual shows. Nico has recently produced her debut album “Be One”, to be released on a Global platform this year, and is currently putting together a live show of the album. She calls this genre Folkloric Electronic, influenced by her ancestral roots and love of Electronic music.
During her DJ sets, Nico takes you on a unique journey exploring an eclectic mix of music genres. Her intention is to showcase the traditional instruments and chants from all around the world, using the electronic music platform to bring them back to life. Expect to be taken on a global musical journey, mixed in with an array of electronic dance music genres like deep-house, techno, liquid drum&bass, combined with heavy baselines, whilst keeping her Balkan roots alive through her sets. Having a life long love affair with dance as a choreographer and with movement as a yoga teacher, Nico’s sets are focused on moving you from the core of your being, body and soul!
For the launch of our Autumn plantation campaign with Forests Without Frontiers - the charity I set up with the sales/donations of my debut album Be One - I have made a special mix as a gift for all of our supporters and beyond. You can download it for free, don't forget to plant your trees and spread the campaign as far and wide as possible. https://bit.ly/3cllimx For more information go here: www.forestswithoutfrontiers.org and please join me and become the Voice of the Forest!
I love you all and I wish that we join forces to look after our Mother Earth, after our Refugees, after eachother, and most importantly, look after ourselves.
Black lives Really Matter, a lot of us know that, but they need our support, so let's join forces to protect and look after the most vulnerable.
All life on Planet Earth matters, and the situation of so many species becoming extinct, as this beautiful Cuckoo that is featured at the end my mix, brakes my heart. So please join me on this mission of planting trees for future generations and help us recreate wildlife corridors for the animals and offer jobs to the communities that live in and around the forests, preserve their traditions and their music.
I wish that we all 'Dream a Beautiful Dream' and co-create it together. As Alan Watts says: "Dream Where You are Now!"
Cu multã dragoste

Celebrating 'International Forests Day' and the launch of the charitable initiative ‘Forests Without Frontiers’, I've put together a Global Electronic mix inspired by nature and cultural heritage.
The mix features songs from artists who I feel that channel through their music the longing for connection with nature, our ancestors and each other, these are mixed in with nature sounds from around the world. I think that artists have the opportunity to become the voice of the planet and spread the message of unity, protection of forests and nature globally. Planting trees on a global scale is one of the most impactful ways of combating climate change. Join the movement, become one of our ambassadors or just plant trees and stay connected to nature. There is no better way to do that, than through music. Music heals the world!
