Hailing from Scotland, Nila made a daring leap to Auckland in 2008, immersing himself in the world of music production. Shaped by the explosive rise of trance, techno, and progressive house during the ’90s dance music scene, he developed an unquenchable passion for DJing. Hours spent obsessing over flawless mixes propelled him to become a headlining resident in Edinburgh. However, Nila’s thirst for exploration led him on an unforgettable journey across Asia, where he fell in love with underwater photography and videography. While his underwater escapades continue to inspire him, the magnetic pull of the studio and the decks ultimately drew him back.

Within the studio walls, Nila finds solace and creative energy amidst his collection of hardware synthesisers, capturing the raw enchantment and idiosyncrasies of analog machines.

Today, he is an established presence on New Zealand’s vibrant club and festival circuit, where he also curates his own progressive house night, ‘Ethos,’ in the heart of Auckland. Nila’s sonic mastery continues to resonate, cementing his position as a force to be reckoned with in the progressive realm.
