Niina
Sweden
It was in Stockholm, Sweden that Niina first cut her teeth on the dance music scene, making a name for herself on the local venue circuit spinning everything from jazzy down tempo grooves to deep house to melodic progressive and often in the same set. In 2002, however, Niina felt it was time for a change as she headed out to South East Asia, little knowing that it would become her second home, that she would become one of the main movers in the nightlife of Bali, twice be among the nominees for best DJ of the island, win the the title ‘best DJ’ 2009 YAK awards Bali and hold 2 of the main venues (Double Six club, KuDeTa) residencies on the ?island of God?. Since the early years, Niina is one of the few female Dj’s in Bali that has succeeded to do so and keep it that way until today.
Word about the stately spinner with the emerald-green eyes spread and before long Niina found herself playing all the major cities in Indonesia past the last years and the list of the venues is long enough in order to impress anyone, today she have truly earned her strong reputation among the regions best Dj’s, and has been nicknamed «the stately queen of progressive house». She have played most of Bali’s memorable outdoor parties, venues like Nyang-Nyang and the vast Garuda Wisnu Kencana (GWK), Bali Cliff among them as well as all the hippiest venues of Bali.
Since June 2004, she is a resident at KuDeTa, one of the Bali’s groundbreaking lifestyle venues, where she is as happy playing eclectic dinner sessions as upfront late night sets and often seen as one of the opening acts of the famous summer parties as KuDeTa’s Birthday Bash and the White party.
In 2005, she compiled internationally released double pack CD series Destination Lounge: Bali (destinationlounge.com), lounge and house compilation that had a release event at WMC Miami 2005, Niina was one of the Dj’s lining up…
During her frequent visits out from Bali, she plays trend-setting venues in Hong Kong, Germany, Thailand, Singapore, Spain, Greece, Finland, Sweden, Australia (Hed Kandi world series Brazil CD release), India, Eastern Europe, Dubai, Korea, Malaysia, Italy and will be continuing to many other destinations garanteed.

These days, Niina is musically more versatile than ever, weaving house music as progressive, twisted-disco, deep house to tech house and techno into her ever versatile big room sets. Or leftfield breaks and nu soul if you prefer. One thing you’re always guaranteed though, is quality and that effortless sense of taste.
