Renegade Riddims: Keha

Nico Krug aka Keha is a 29-year-old Drum & Bass DJ hailing from Thuringia, Germany. He began his DJing journey at just 14 years old, starting in 2009. His style showcases a diverse range of Drum & Bass, with a primary focus on the hard-hitting, intricate rhythms of Neurofunk, while also seamlessly blending elements of other subgenres. Nico is equally known for his pure liquid funk sets, offering a smoother, melodic contrast. His performances are elevated by his ability to mix on three decks, creating a dynamic, layered sound.

Despite facing physical challenges due to a birth-related condition that caused partial paralysis on the left side of his body, Nico has defied expectations. He expertly navigates the decks with just one hand, delivering high-energy sets that captivate audiences. His passion for music and dedication to his craft shines through in every performance, making him a unique and inspiring figure in the Drum & Bass scene.

Today Keha joins our Renegade Riddims series with a new mix curated especially for us. The mix features music from the likes of Gyrda, Circadian, Mefjus, Malux, Noisia, Mob Tactics, Netsky, Ekwols, DLR and more!
