Nina Buchanan
Producer and composer Nina Buchanan has carved out a singular space in the local electronic landscape, working at the intersection of club music, exploratory synthesis, and composition to build immersive soundscapes. Buchanan’s kaleidoscopic take on dance music sits adjacent to hardware-based techno while carrying its own unique spirit and imagination.

Her club-ready tracks centre expression, articulated through layered lines of glimmering texture and driving percussion. Bright, shimmering synth lines are looped while they undulate over and over, gradually forming a space for audiences to connect with their own feelings and intuitive perception of her sounds.
Buchanan has played for a wide range of storied institutions across the country, with compositions created for MONA FOMA and ACCA, quadraphonic work for Liquid Architecture, and performances for Asia Topa and Liveworks. She has supported legendary acts including Chino Amobi, Demdike Stare and Beau Wanzer.
