Behind the moniker N-TCHBL stands Marija Nikolić, an artist who returned to the DJ booth after a decade-long absence from the live circuit. During that period, she launched her FRISKY Radio show Subliminal, which remains a consistent Top 10 program on the station and has made her one of its longest-standing residents. In 2024, Marija stepped decisively into production, securing releases on labels including Univack and Contrast, with support from Hernán Cattáneo and her mentor Moshic. On this Balance Selections mix, the N-TCHBL sound is in full bloom. Featuring music from Stereo Underground, HAFT, Rick Pier O’Neil and others, it’s a set rooted in the underground, where shadow and subtlety shape the narrative. @n-thcbl Tracklist: https://balancemusic.com.au/balance-selections-ntchbl ------------------------------------- Follow: Instagram: www.instagram.com/balance_series Facebook: www.facebook.com/balanceseriesmusic Youtube: www.youtube.com/@balancemusicofficial
