Meanwhile, вЂDesertsвЂ™, released in 2017, was dedicated to her family's journey emigrating to Australia from Egypt in the '60s. Her вЂLucky GirlвЂ™ EP, released in 2018, married NinaвЂ™s affection for pop with glitchy breakbeats, all fused with a heavy dose of вЂ80s-style melancholia.

While itвЂ™s true that Nina has the magnetism of a performer thatвЂ™s always down for a good time, she hasnвЂ™t shied away from getting sentimental in her music when itвЂ™s warranted. вЂњI prepare a set to a point, but I know I can go darker, deeper or harder, or more вЂwedding partyвЂ™ if I have to, and I think thatвЂ™s a skill, and I like DJing for that reason because I always have fun.вЂќ вЂњI think the audience is just as important as my ego, so if I have to bring it back, play it dumb, or make it cooler, I am ready,вЂќ she says. Flexibility and an ability to read the roomвЂ™s energy were crucial for her success and later became defining aspects of her performance style.

вЂњAuthenticity is such a big part of the game and I do think that good songs made by good people really reach people.вЂќ This new and faster-than-ever way that listeners consume music might seem nightmarish for artists who approach their tracks like compositions to be listened to in the context of a full album, but for Nina releasing singles alongside touring and managing a label is perfectly suited to her DIY approach, and her refusal to take on just one task at any given time.ДЄs a DJ and radio host, crowd interaction has always been a key part of NinaвЂ™s career, whether thatвЂ™s been through receiving messages through the text line on AustraliaвЂ™s national alternative music station, triple j, where she worked for over a decade, or through playing to smaller or demanding crowds during her early days of DJing. вЂњ helps but thatвЂ™s not what itвЂ™s about,вЂќ she says. Instead, she plans to keep flowing with the fast-paced and often relentless way music is now consumed by the masses, using her platform to float out new sounds to her audiences and groove with their changing appetites. Continuously adding to a growing portfolio of club tunes вЂ“ check out 2019вЂ™s вЂOne ThirtyвЂ™ and вЂTananaramвЂ™ вЂ“ Nina doesnвЂ™t plan to put out an album any time soon. That process steals an insight into how triggering strong emotions from the audience is at the core of the way she operates. Making a beat for Nina means beginning at the drop and working backwards. вЂњI donвЂ™t think need to have an existential crisis to make a club track,вЂќ she laughs. вЂњ pop music, I canвЂ™t predict if the next Lady Gaga is gonna be big, I canвЂ™t predict if Tones and I will have a viral hit, you just donвЂ™t know.вЂќ In the midst of this audience-driven era of music, being proud of her work has become the most critical measurement of success for Nina, but she balances that with a playful attitude to production and never forgets the importance of fun. вЂњThereвЂ™s no rules or pattern anymore,вЂќ Nina explains, frankly. Nina only has one rule for these вЂњbangers and thumpersвЂќ - that they can be played loud and proud in a club. Although being a DJ and running a label takes up most of her time, and then some, she still makes it a priority to foster her artistic pursuits, dedicating up to two days a week to create new tracks.

Her flickering passion for the creative arts has shepherded her throughout her career. Hailing from a small regional town in New South Wales, Australia, even from a young age Nina threw her enthusiasm into everything - whether that was nourishing her theatrical side, playing a role in musicals like Chicago, or through taking part in sports and playing piano. The pandemic has seen artists everywhere lose out on income, but itвЂ™s precious time alone that Nina wonвЂ™t waste, as she pours her energy into music-making and managing her label, NLV Records, from afar. Hard work is something sheвЂ™s always risen to, but when we first talk over the phone in early March thereвЂ™s a hint of heartbreak in her voice: sheвЂ™s stuck in London, and has, like so many others, had numerous show cancellations caused by the rapid onset of coronavirus across the world. Nina Las Vegas has cultivated a fierce reputation for herself as AustraliaвЂ™s queen of club music.
