Introduced to electronic music at the early age of five through his father’s Jean-Michel Jarre cassettes, he was breakdancing to the sounds of old-school legends such as Bomfunk MCs, Flying Steps, Westbam, and Carl Cox by the age of nine. After his football career as a goalkeeper was derailed by an injury in 2009, Vass Nikoloff immersed himself in the local dance music scene, attending events at Bulgaria’s premiere clubs Plazma in Plovdiv and Dance Club Mania in Sunny Beach, and listening to artists like Shoto and Vesselin, Pacho and Pepo, Metodi Hristov, and Pavel Petrov. In 2017, while living in Trondheim, Norway, Vass Nikoloff began mixing on his first-ever setup, consisting of CDJ 100s and a DJM 300 mixer. There, he established Northern Impact before moving to London in 2018. Since then, he has continued to dedicate himself to the dance music community, organizing events and playing at renowned clubs such as Egg London, E1, and Werkhaus. Since 2018, Vass Nikoloff has had the privilege of playing alongside his idols mentioned above and has grown Northern Impact into a prominent organization, managing a team of over 20 people. His passion for music and commitment to the scene is evident in every set he performs, contributing positively to the dance music community.
