Peter Nikolai is a DJ and sounddesigner based in Berlin. He was born in Leningrad in 1978 and has his roots in both, Russian and German culture. He started djing on legendary MS Stubnitz, an art-space and event-ship travelling around the Baltic Sea. Beginning with oldschool electro tunes from Kraftwerk, Cybotron and the likes he soon was driven to the magic of psychedelic repetition and grew meanwhile a vast selection of well choosen House and Techno records. In 2002 he moved to Berlin for in-depth studies of sound engineering and joined the chaotic nonetheless fruitful collective „4augenvoegeln“. He quickly became an inspiring member realising a couple of extraordinary underground music and art projects. This crew was and is constantly surprising the electronic music scene due to their residencies in clubs like Salon zur wilden Renate, Horst Krzbrg and other venues inside and outside of Berlin. When it comes to music he is a relentless sound geek. He always drops cutting edge tunes and uses his music to paint colorful emotions for the delight of the crowd. Listening to Peter's sets you can expect an organic tapestry of sounds and warm psychedelic grooves. Guided by the principles of „kosmicheski shamanism“ he seeks to travel to the outer borders of the known dancefloor navigation technics by using vinyls, a laptop, analog synth, fx-boxes and his bare hands. Basically focussed on styles like microhouse and minimal techno he also expresses his talent in a variety of other electronic music genres. His collaborations with 22rockets, ClicksnErrors and Kai Mader have possibly resulted in some of techno's most precious music and performances. At the world wide known „Weekend“ Club in Berlin, 22Rockets and him were the first artists who perform protected with army steel helmets. But that's just a story. He also is a part of the downbeat electronica project „Dublastik“ which puts listeners to sleep over several hours combining deep underwater dub styled echo chords with the sunny and warm sound of a Saxophone glowing in the abyss. At present he loves to play whether as a DJ or with one of his live projects to travel around and meet friends everywhere.
