nico de andrea is french. he came up as a dj and took up production after that, and his records still sound like they were built by somebody who has to move a room at 2am.

the record that sits at the top of his spotify page is Wish We Could, cut with syon and darla jade. the original mix landed on headroom records on 29 may 2020 and the extended went out through unity records the same day, with a THEMBA remix following on 12 june 2020. it is the deep, patient, vocal-led end of what he does.

For me, it has always been a challenge to blend the soulful tracks that introduced me to music, like Sade, Stevie Wonder, or Jamiroquai, with club music.

armada music has been his home since 2022. the album Love Therapy arrived there on 26 january 2024, written around piano and pointed at pop songwriting as much as at the floor, with tensnake, julia church and eli & fur among the guests. a deluxe edition followed later in 2024.

he made Let Me Love You with LP Giobbi for headroom records in october 2021. Franky Wah remixed Disappear, his record with THEMBA and tasan, for armada music in 2023. going the other way, he has remixed CamelPhat and nadia ali's Endlessly and MEDUZA and HAYLA's Another World.

the 2026 run is wide. River with ARA on armada music on 24 april 2026, then Bring The Noise 2026 alongside public enemy and austin millz on def jam recordings on 12 june 2026, then Give Me Love with cerrone on armada music on 19 june 2026. beatport files that middle one under tech house, which tells you how far he will push when the record asks for it.

no upcoming dates are published. his most recent listed booking is 19 june 2026 at the roof at superior ingredients in brooklyn, and there is nothing on the books after it.
