Joining us at the Nexus Lounge ADE Edition, DJ Nurotic sat down to glimpse his world and share his journey through music. Known for bringing infectious beats from Chicago to audiences around the globe, DJ Nurotic tells his story with the same passion that he pours into his sets.
We kicked off the conversation by asking how DJ Nurotic is finding Amsterdam. “Got in yesterday, and it’s just been amazing,” DJ Nurotic enthusiastically replies. His first time at ADE, DJ Nurotic expresses excitement over networking and discovering new talent, saying, “Networking and just being able to listen and hear DJs and producers that I’m not familiar with.”
This Chicago native’s accolades are plenty, and recently being crowned Mixed Show DJ of the Year is one of his proudest professional milestones. But for DJ Nurotic, the award is merely a stepping stone. As he explains, “I won that award, and it was like, okay, how am I gonna outdo myself next year?” He went on to rebrand his radio show from “Club Kiss” to “Neurotics House Party,” propelling him into collaborations with prominent names like Tiesto and David Guetta.
Speaking of inspirations and heroes, DJ Nurotic attributes his love for music to legends from his hometown and beyond. It’s the beats of DJ Nafis and DJ Rashad that fueled his childhood with joy, while contemporary artists such as Diplo continue to inspire his eclectic approach to music production. “Diplo doesn’t just stick to one genre. He makes music that he likes, and that’s kind of the same thing that I do,” DJ Nurotic reflects.
The joy of taking his daughters to events with him has also been incredibly rewarding, allowing DJ Nurotic to share his professional life with his family. For him, these moments are beautiful reminders of why the journey through music has been worth every second.
DJ Nurotic announces with anticipation, “I have a new single coming out in November along with Justin Case and Eduardo De Rosa. It’s called ‘Letting You Go’ and will be released on Total Smash.”
With a refreshing mix of humility and ambition, DJ Nurotic assures that his music journey is just warming up.
