NIKLĀVZ (Niklāvs Sekačs) has established himself as a beatmaker that could easily be confused with those hailing from the L.A. beat scene. Known for his future wave, trap and juke productions, his work shows similarities with the likes of Flying Lotus, Hudson Mohawke, etc. His debut solo EP ”Slazds” (2012) was released through DirtyDealAudio, which launched a career even before he could legally get past the bouncers at clubs. Whether it's making crowds jump at Positivus’ RBMA stage, warming up for Araabmuzik’s Baltic tour, playing Primavera Sound Festival in Spain, winning beat battles at Satta Outside Festival, hosting a weekly radio show on Pieci.lv & Riga24 or participating in Baltic Trail Electronic Music Gathering, which aside from releasing a compilation also lead to the release of a bass-drenched collab EP with Justicious... one thing's for sure - this kid is a solid music force to be reckoned with!
