Inside the buzzing world of the Nexus Lounge, Brazilian producer NUZB opened up about his evolution as an artist, his life-changing move to Amsterdam, and the creative fire that continues to push his sound into new territory. Known worldwide for pioneering his signature RetroFuture style—a fusion of house, future bass, and forward-thinking electronic textures—NUZB has rapidly become one of dance music’s most exciting innovators.
Signed to STMPD RCRDS, celebrated by Tomorrowland, and landing at #80 on the Top 101 Producers list by 1001Tracklists, NUZB’s rise has been nothing short of explosive. Yet despite the momentum, he remains grounded, curious, and constantly in pursuit of artistic growth.
A major turning point in his journey came when he moved to Amsterdam—a city whose open-minded music culture reshaped his entire creative approach. “I realized it’s different here. The people like music—not just one genre, but music,” he explained. That realization encouraged him to experiment more boldly, drifting from his established RetroFuture aesthetic into a new blend that merges house with tech house influences.
He described Amsterdam’s energy as both inspiring and transformative. “Cycling from party to party… it’s really magic,” he said with a laugh, adding that the city’s rhythm gave him the feeling every artist chases: the clarity of knowing exactly what you want to create.
One of his most exciting new ventures is a project with his girlfriend—a melodic tech house act set to debut soon. “We’re doing a mix of melodic tech house… and we are debuting this Saturday,” he shared enthusiastically. With performances lined up across iconic Amsterdam venues, NUZB is entering a fresh era filled with creative exploration and collaborative joy.
While his success continues to skyrocket, NUZB remains deeply connected to the values that shaped him. His biggest lesson so far? Be kind.
“You need to be nice to everyone. It’s not just you. Everyone is there to make it happen,” he emphasized, a reminder of the humility behind his sharp artistic vision.
Between late-night sessions buying new synths, refining breakthrough ideas, and exploring Amsterdam’s musical landscape, NUZB’s journey is defined not only by sound—but by growth, community, and curiosity.
And at the heart of it all is one simple truth: “For me, music’s my life.” Listen to the full interview below.
