.nila was integral to Keep Thinking in our early years, and an artist we’ve been proud to watch grow from strength to strength.
We caught up with him ahead of our first decade release “Retrospect”, where his track “Groove One” features. Here’s what he had to say!:
“I am really honoured to have been included in this 10 Years of Keep Thinking: Retrospect’ compilation.
It’s a special one for me as Keep Thinking has been part of my music production journey from quite early on.
My first ever release was around 2014, then 3 years on I had my first release with Keep Thinking ‘Nocturne/Memory’ followed by a remix I did of ‘Novikoff, Mark Youssef - Shutter (Nila Remix).
Fast forward a bit to 2023 and I was delighted to be on the label with my second EP ‘Take a Deep Breath’, the B-side being featured as part of this ‘Retrospect’ compilation.
It’s been amazing watching the growth of the label and both label head’s Kris ( ) and .harveymusic, as both have been a massive influence on me musically.
In terms of dealing with the label, they have been really supportive and only ever wanting what has been best for the music I have sent them (and yes, I have had many knock backs too, it’s part of the process and was for the better!).
I love the sound KT have been pushing, especially over the last few years, breaking away from trends and sticking to simply good, original music.
Once again, I am very grateful to be part of the KT family and to be included in this milestone release.”
