Night in Athens

Dark synth solo project punctuated by disturbing vocals, whispers, cajoles, and screams. In 2020, NIA emerged from the DIY London punk scene, where she had played keyboards in bands. NIA began composing and producing "to exorcise her demons" when confined to her East London room during the lockdown. METROPOLIS was the debut EP in 2021.

The songs feature dark electro that combines punk, darkwave, and coldwave. She proceeded to self- release records, such as 2022's CRIME SEEN, which is a proto-minimal-synth cult blended with the analogue synthwave tribe, while also focusing on the electroclash preachings. In less than two years, NIA has done many shows in Europe/UK and she is well-known for creating visual excitement onstage that complements her musical energy. She’s a standout in the minimal synth and cold wave revival, pairing crisp analogue synths with a detached lyrical tone.
