NINA LAS VEGAS
Nina Las Vegas, also known as Nina Agzarian, has cemented herself as a formidable presence in the music industry, particularly in the realms of DJing and label management. With an unwavering passion for dance music, she has carved out a remarkable career spanning decades.
Beginning her musical journey as a host and programmer on Australian radio station triple j, Nina quickly gained a reputation for her ability to discover and promote dance music from around the world. This led her to establish NLV Records in 2015, a label that has become a catalyst for cultivating a vibrant underground culture and community.
As a producer, Nina has released two solo EPs, including "EZY or Never" in 2016 and "Lucky Girl" in 2018, along with numerous singles. Her sonic range knows no bounds, as she fearlessly explores diverse genres while pushing the boundaries of forward-thinking dance music.

On the DJ front, Nina has graced the stages of renowned festivals across Australia, including Big Day Out, Stereosonic, and Splendour in the Grass. She has also embarked on international tours, captivating audiences in Japan, North America, Europe, and the UK. Her electrifying DJ sets have not only showcased her skills but also served as a platform to promote dance music from around the world.
With NLV Records entering its fifth year, Nina continues to elevate the label's influence through artist management, A&R services, curation, and creative partnerships. Her powerful work ethic, tastemaker ethos, and consistency have solidified her position as an influential figure in the dance music landscape, uniting her various projects into a cohesive vision.

LUKE ALESSI
“A fine balance between ruthless functionality & experimentalism,” Luke Alessi says of his
current creative output.
Influenced from an array of different styles, Luke’s music sits in its own lane, not to be
pigeonholed into any conventional genre. Instead, intentionally blurring the lines between
house, electro, indie dance, afro, prog & techno via synth lines that bend your mind, hooks
that get stuck in your head for days and underlying, funky grooves that keep your body
locked in on the dance floor.
Striving to create music that's designed to take you elsewhere, even if just momentarily, it’s
no surprise to see his tracks circulating the rounds of ID groups as they pop up in new
corners of the world. His most recent release was his debut EP with RÜFÜS DU SOL’s label
Rose Avenue, which saw the lead track ‘Scuze Me’ top the Indie Dance Charts, gaining
support from the likes of Dino Lenny, WhoMadeWho, Whitesquare, Chloe Caillet, John
Digweed, Magdalena, Black Coffee, RÜFÜS DU SOL, Musumeci, Lehar, Adam Ten and
more. Prior to that in 2022 he had two EPs with Mobilee, one on Buttress Recordings and a
remix for RÜFÜS DU SOL on their Surrender remix album.
As a DJ, Luke made a name for himself in Australia in 2022, with plays at Pitch Music &
Arts, Sydney's Lost Paradise Festival, and Beyond The Valley in Melbourne, as well as
supporting RÜFÜS DU SOL on their recent Australia tour alongside John Hopkins, on the
back of his remix of their track Devotion. Next month Luke takes Australia’s east coast for a
series of headline plays, followed by his first Mexican play at Sundream Baja.

She has performed at festivals like Beyond The Valley, Spilt Milk, and Oktoberfest, captivating audiences with her undeniable stage presence. True to her mission of supporting Australian music, Latifa has recently been handed the keys to the Mix Up kingdom as the new host and producer of Triple J's dance music show.
Her debut album, "When a Girl Loves in Japan," reached #1 on the R&B charts, while her single "Games" garnered over 800,000 streams on Spotify. With commercial radio play and recognition on platforms like Apple Music's "The Estelle Show," Latifa continues to curate guest mixes for various programs, spreading her musical influence worldwide.
