A trailblazing musical polymath, NikNak has carved a niche for herself in the music industry with her distinctive turntablism, immersive compositions, and captivating improvised performances. Heralded by the likes of DJ Mag, Clash, The Wire and Resident Advisor, her debut album Bashi garnered critical acclaim, positioning her as one to watch in the experimental electronic music scene. Her fourth studio album Ireti was released on Matthew Herbert’s label Accidental Records in 2024 and was named one of the year’s best albums by Mixmag and Bandcamp.

LINTD (Life Is Never That Deep) is the solo project of Nigerian born musician, composer, producer and filmmaker Iyunoluwanimi Yemi-Shodimu. For the past 4 years, under the aliases GOMID, SMOOCH SOUNDSYSTEM, and FEED, he has cemented himself as a reliable cultural producer of the black extraordinary and collaborated with vanguards of the Northern experimental scene such as Space Afrika, 96 Back, Iceboy Violet, Balraj Samrai (Swing Ting), and Porter Brook. Through music, films, live events, installation and research, LINTD speculate worlds where the marginalized feel comfortable to be their full, emancipated selves. Often, these worlds are spectacular, always they are true.

Through his practice, LINTD has connected with relentless innovators of black experimental music around the globe and supported the likes of Gavsborg (Equiknoxxx), Le Diouck & Lonnie Holly during their UK tour. With a unique Nigerian-speculative approach, LINTD is shaping new possibilities for the black experimental scene.
