His original DJ sets journey through all tempo ranges and styles from Psychedelic Trap, Sensual Luvstep and Bouncey Mid-tempo Wobble jams. Hiphop, Dancehall, R&B, and Dub play a major influence in the Luminous sound to keep it grounded while travelling deep into to the sonic soundscape of modern synths and drum machines. Also a lifelong Beatboxer/MC and Multi- Instrumentalist, Nico has mastered the art of live looping using Ableton and his custom effects pedal belt like you've never seen or heard before. His performances integrate his uplifting lyrics, and his well developed keyboard and Conga playing.
