NIMDA DELIVERS EXPLOSIVE NEW SINGLE ‘BADDEST’ OUT NOW VIA MENTIS AUDIO

Upcoming UK-based DJ and producer NIMDA returns to the release trenches with heavy-hitting new single ‘Baddest’. The newest offering from the talent directly follows his December release of ‘Defeat’, off the 'Mentis I' compilation from his very own imprint. The dubstep aficionado officially launched his label, Mentis Audio, in early December of 2021, creating a new platform for the latest sounds coming out of the landscape. Out now, ‘Baddest’ is available across all streaming platforms via Mentis Audio.

‘Baddest’ opens with a palpably raw, high-octane energy right from the start, bringing listeners into its rapturous, spine-tingling soundscape. At the 30 second mark, the track erupts into a transmissible fire with a discordant, heavy-hitting bass drop. The bass-drenched offering packs a punch from beginning-to-end with effortlessly glitchy textures and relentless sonic intensity. The heady endeavour is another certified hit, adding more fuel to NIMDA’s entrenched arsenal of bangers.

While he continues to expand upon his already established musical capabilities, newcomer NIMDA sets himself apart in the world of dubstep with his latest offering ‘Baddest’. With an upcoming LTBGY guest mix later this month and tour TBA this year, 2022 is primed to be the UK-native’s biggest year to date.

ABOUT NIMDA -- British talent NIMDA has been making his mark in the world of tearout dubstep and drum & bass over the last decade with his signature production prowess. 2015 saw the release of his first EP, followed by a slew of heavy hits, which landed him support from dubstep and bass tastemaker labels such as Malignant, Interval Audio, Crowsnest Audio, Reinelex Music, Broken Vault Records, and Bruised Records. Now showcasing his own vision for the future of the genre, the up-and-coming DJ and producer recently launched his own independent label, Mentis Audio, with its first 10-track compilation, 'Mentis I', released in December of 2021. As the year unfolds, NIMDA is slated to embark on an upcoming tour later this year, with dates TBD, making him an artist to keep a close eye on.

Verve is a brand new and historic techno festival coming to Lucerne's Allmend/Messe 1 arena in Switzerland. From May 20th - 22nd, it promises something new and supersized for the city, with cutting-edge artists in an innovative indoor space. The first wave of names includes Ben Klock, Innellea, Lilly Palmer, Oliver Huntemann, Joris Voorn, Animal Trainer, Denis Horvat, Konstantin Sibold, Miss Monique, Øostil, Pig&Dan, SHDW & Obscure Shape, The Element, Cattarre, Doma, Gean, Kaleiko, Marco Capone, Pazkal & Vanita with many more international techno tastemakers to come. For tickets, head to verve-festival.ch

Verve is a state-of-the-art venue packed with high-end technology. Laser displays take you into another dimension. The sound system is crystal clear up top and punchy down low. The overall style of the vast warehouse is futuristic. All of this makes it a perfect setting for a coming together of true music lovers and a celebration of avant-garde electronic music.

Across this special festival, which is easily accessible by a train that stops right outside, Verve will welcome 10,000 people, offer more than 24 hours of music and more than 30 of the world's most innovative techno DJs to play across two indoor stages. The first is a vast main room that will soak you in high end light and visuals, and the second is a slightly smaller space for more intimate but energetic sounds. As well as the music, there will be a culinary world tour that will take you through the best tastes on the planet, while an outdoor area will be a stylish place to catch your breath and chill with a cocktail or two.

Providing the soundtrack will be Berghain mainstay, techno pioneer and unrelenting DJ talent Ben Klock. His big, concrete funk sound is famous the world over and perfect for this sort of festival. German Innellea has the ability to transcend genre with his emotive sets and futuristic sounds. Lilly Palmer brings her contemporary techno sounds after big tunes on the likes of Drumcode and Spannung Records have established her right at the vanguard. On top this comes Dutch hero and Rejected label boss Joris Voorn, long time titan Oliver Huntemann, a special set from ØOSTIL b2b The Element, local Swiss stars Animal Trainer, stripped back and atmospheric techno from SHDW & OBSCURE SHAPE, plus more from techno talents Konstantin Sibold, Pig & Dan, Denis Horvat, Miss Monique, Cattarre, Doma, Gean, Kaleiko, Marco Capone, Pazkal, Vanita.

The festival comes from the Kopflos Agency, a respected, dynamic and dedicated events management agency based in Lucerne. The agency is very passionate about electronic music and has been at the heart of the local scene and now uses all its know-how to launch this much anticipated new event.

Founder of Verve Festival and Co-Founder of Kopflos Agency Omar A.Rahman says, “We have been facing many challenges while planning the festival and organizing all the little details due to the Pandemic. However, we believe it is the right time to announce our Verve Festival in Luzern. The whole industry is not tolerating the situation anymore, and we feel it is our duty to do something and back up the industry.”

Fellow Verve Festival and Kopflos Agency founder Jan Boesch says, ”We have to organize something for the city in Luzern. The whole nightlife suffers enormously from the corona pandemic and less organizers are daring to do something about it”

Verve is the largest festival in central Switzerland with an escapist techno atmosphere. Do not miss.

Early bird tickets are now sold out but for now general sale tickets remain available. But act fast, because after the announcement of the artists of Phase II they will sell out from verve-festival.ch
