Kiss Nuka is the genre-bending uncensored outlet of Anushka Manchanda, a creative polymath who has an artistic legacy that spans from editing and directing to Bollywood playback singing and screen performances. Based between India and Spain, Kiss Nuka is where Anushka distils the world around her – with all its chaos and natural tranquillity into stylistically boundless and immersive musical experiences. With her productions Kiss Nuka blends ambient soundscapes, four-on-the-floor rhythms, electro-pop vocal lines, drum and bass frenzy, groovy bass thumping and poetic lyricism co-exist on works like the cinematic and haunting Don’t Be Afraid, the subtle and sombre Kashmir, the socio-politically bold and blazing hip-hop number Ayo Burn, and her debut EP Serpentine, which fluidly traverses across the spectrum of dance music with a gritty energy. Her recent releases also include the single I Love The Drive, which dropped on the seminal UK label Ninja Tune imprint Ahead Of Time and was accompanied by a remix from co-founder and one-half of Coldcut, Matt Black. Earlier in June 2023, the artist-curated Serpentine Remixed, an LP of her debut EP Serpentine, featuring remixes across genres by prolific peers that garnered rave reviews, radio plays and support across borders. The artist-producer and activist also released Fight in collaboration with Beirut-based NGO The Great Oven As a live performer, Kiss Nuka has brought her hypnotic, seamless and dynamically-rich live set to stages such as Mixmag LAB, Boiler Room, Magnetic Fields Festival, Rave The Planet, Far Out Left, Ziro Festival, and Basscamp to name a few. She wrapped up her first year soundtracking the dancefloor by getting featured among Mixmag's Top 15 Live Acts of 2022. Bringing together all her creative roles, Kiss Nuka elevates her musical offerings with audio-visual pieces dealing with themes like the rise of the feminine, animal rights, and environmentalism to create cinematic storytelling for both the screen and the live setting. As a director and editor, her thought-provoking audio-visual work has won recognition at the Indian Independent Music Awards, Berlin Music Video Awards, and London Music Video Awards, and was on display at The World of Music Video exhibition at Völkinger Hütte UNESCO World Heritage Site alongside work from iconic artists like Björk, Daft Punk, Chemical Brothers, Massive Attack and Lil Nas X. Her sophomore EP Raat Rani drops November 22nd 2023.
