Nostalgix Talks About Starting Her Artist Career, Her First Show, A Pivotal Moment & More
Born in Iran but deeply embedded in the Canadian dance music scene, Nostalgix embodies versatility as a DJ, producer, and writer. Infusing her music with a spirited charm and old school flair, characterized by booming basslines and vibrant beats, she is featured on prominent labels like Night Bass and Confession. Embracing a persona reminiscent of the ’90s ‘It Girl’, Nostalgix champions a positive atmosphere within dance music. Her energetic sound has graced esteemed stages worldwide, including EDC Las Vegas and HARD Summer, cementing her status as a formidable presence in the EDM realm.
Ahead of her Ultra Music Festival debut, EDMHouseNetwork contributor Andrea Simon had the opportunity to chat with Nostalgix about her introduction to raving, career progression, and more.
How did you get your start in music? How did you decide that you wanted to become a DJ and producer?
I fell in love with electronic music in 2016. At the time, I was very sheltered. I didn’t go to parties or know about raves or EDM or anything like that. One day, one of my friends was like “Hey, Hardwell is playing at this rave for Halloween. Do you want to go?” So, I snuck out of the house that night. And the rest is history.
Anyways, I went to this rave, and it was at this huge colosseum type place, so it was a proper rave with amazing production and lasers and everything. I remember just being there and thinking, “wow… what is this?” It was like I had discovered a whole different world. I had never seen anything like this before. Everyone around me was wearing the craziest outfits and trading kandi. Everyone just looked so happy. I remember being in the crowd that night and feeling how amazing the energy was. Instantly, I became obsessed with the culture and with dance music and wanted to completely immerse myself in it.
After that, I decided to spend a year saving up all of my money, and just traveled around the world by myself going to as many festivals and shows as I could. I went to Tomorrowland, I went to Ultra, it was insane. One of the shows I went to was Dr. Fresch- and I got this crazy idea in my head after seeing his set that I wanted to learn how to become a DJ.
Shortly after, I started my first year of university for film production at University of British Columbia (UBC). I wanted to become a director. However, it was my first week of school when I had the idea that I wanted to become a DJ. I decided I just wanted to do it for fun, and didn’t have any goals set or anything. I was so stubborn about it actually- I didn’t even want to call myself a DJ. I just loved this music and wanted to learn everything about it. So, I went out and bought a mixer and started teaching myself in my dorm room. I practiced all the time and would send out mixes to local promoters. I decided my goal would be to do just one show, and then I would stop.
When I first started making music, I wasn’t good. I had no idea what I was doing. I was 17 years old and had never even been to a nightclub before to see a DJ set there. But, I kept practicing, and I kept getting rejected. Eventually, somebody bought it and gave me the opportunity. After I played that show, it just snowballed from there. I was getting more and more opportunities and spent the next year djing around Vancouver- my hometown. I played a bunch of clubs in the area and started to become known in the local scene. From there, I was inspired to create more music. I wanted to go all in. After a year of djing, I dropped out of school and decided to pursue music production full-time. And, I haven’t looked back since.
What was your first show like?
It was actually at a bar on my campus at UBC. It was like this underground bar for students with a tiny little stage. I wasn’t even supposed to be playing that night, but I got a call from them that their DJ was sick and they needed me to be there in an hour. I didn’t even think twice about it. I just said yes and ran across campus to get my mixer. It was raining that night too- I was wearing shorts- but I didn’t even care. I was just so excited. I really had no idea what I was doing, like I actually opened the set with the Pirates of the Caribbean theme song. It was such a cool and memorable night.
So, your original goal was to do just one show. How did your mindset change from wanting to do one show to wanting to DJ professionally?
When I first started, I just didn’t believe in myself at the time. I couldn’t see myself actually being a DJ. I thought DJs were like Martin Garrix, Alesso, or Steve Aoki. Not me. But, once I started making music, I realized how fun it was. That’s when I told myself that I would do just one show. Naturally, that one show just kept leading me to more opportunities. I would never say no either. I was having so much fun that I just wanted to keep becoming better and better.
Were you into music growing up?
Since I was a kid, I’ve always been a very artistic person. I always had a very deep connection with music, and have always been obsessed with creating things. By the time I was nine years old, I really wanted to be in a band. I wanted to be a drummer, and I also wanted to learn guitar. I would get my parents to put me into music lessons so I could learn. At one point in elementary school, we had a talent show that you had to try out for. I actually didn’t make it. Because I was so young, I kind of thought that maybe the music thing just wasn’t for me. But, that didn’t stop me.
Let’s talk about where you are today. Has there been a pivotal moment in your career? Like a moment you felt that would change everything?
I mean, my first show is a good place to start. That moment kind of turned on the switch for me, because that’s when I realized that making music was something I could do. Since then, my
career has felt like a very steady climb. It’s been a natural progression really. If I had to pinpoint another moment though, I would say it was performing at the EDC Las Vegas Opening Ceremony last year. I had been touring before then, but this was my biggest opportunity to date. After that set, I noticed everything was moving faster. I was getting more shows, I was getting better placements at festivals, and more people were listening to my music and supporting. I really think that performance is really what pushed me to the next level.
Do you have any new music or collabs coming up that you can talk about?
I’ve really been trying to wrap things up in time for Ultra. I can’t share too much at the moment, but I am very excited to share the progression of my style and sound post EP. I’ve really been pouring my heart and soul into my art and I’m exciting to see where my story continues from here.
If you could collaborate with any artist, who would it be and why?
I’m going to say Miley Cyrus. I grew up listening to her and I really like that woman has raised me. She’s so lovely. There are a lot of incredible artists out there that it would be crazy to make music with, but I think Miley would really be a dream.
To wrap things up, what is one piece of advice you would like to leave us with? What is your advice to people trying to get started in the industry?
Honestly, just put your head down and focus on the art. Focus on your craft and really hone in on developing your skills, because that’s the thing that matters more than anything else. I know there are a lot of different things being said these days about what you should and shouldn’t be doing as an artist- but there is no right way. There’s no correct sound or style. The best thing you can do is focus on making it happen for you, and don’t feed into any of those distractions.

EDC Las Vegas Dusk Till Dawn brings 12 days of events, parties and experiences across the city in 2027
EDC Las Vegas is taking its new Dusk Till Dawn format far beyond the two festival weekends at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Insomniac has now revealed the events and experiences planned across the full 12 days from May 13–24, 2027. Alongside EDC Dusk and EDC Dawn, Headliners can expect pop-up parties across Las Vegas and the returning World Party Parade. A new Map Point Summit, Insomniac Concept Store and Beyond The Rave Art Show are also planned. Camp EDC and Hotel EDC will also offer expanded experiences throughout the city.
View this post on Instagram
What The 12-Day Experience Actually Includes
The Dusk Till Dawn experience runs from May 13–24, 2027. EDC Dusk takes place from May 14–16, followed by EDC Dawn from May 21–23 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The six festival days remain at the Speedway. The dates around them will bring EDC into other parts of Las Vegas through parties, exhibitions, retail, hotel events and community-focused activities.
Between the two weekends, Insomniac plans pop-up events across clubs, warehouses, art galleries, city landmarks and other locations. Opening and closing parties will also take place around both Dusk and Dawn. Hotel EDC at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas will host pool parties, after-parties, wellness activities and beauty and glam services. Interactive events and several of the new experiences announced for 2027 will also take place there.
Camp EDC will change significantly as well, with pass holders able to stay for the full 12 days for the first time. Each weekend begins with a sunset-to-sunrise opening party at The Mesa. Monday morning after-parties will follow once each festival weekend ends. Between both weekends, campers can expect wellness activities, creative workshops, a retro arcade and live painting. Vendor Village, art installations and all-night parties are also planned.
New Experiences Coming To Dusk Till Dawn
One of the biggest additions for 2027 is Map Point Summit. Its name comes from the underground rave tradition of using map points to guide people to a party. Insomniac is bringing that idea into a new setting at Hotel EDC. The summit will focus on electronic music, rave culture and helping people understand different paths into the industry. It gives the 12-day experience something beyond parties. The space is aimed at people who want to learn more about the culture and those working behind it.
That wider look at rave culture continues with the new Beyond The Rave Art Show. It will also take place at Hotel EDC throughout all 12 days. The free exhibition will feature photography, graffiti, paintings, rave flyers, poster art, sculptures and collectibles. Works will come from established artists and people within the electronic music community. Nearby, the Marketplace will bring together independent creators and businesses. They will offer fashion, art, records, collectibles, technology and other products connected to the scene.
Concept Store And World Party Parade
Music and merchandise also come together through the first Insomniac Concept Store, another new addition for 2027. Open throughout Dusk Till Dawn, the store will include limited-edition collaborations, exclusive releases and a vinyl section. That section will cover both new and old-school electronic music. Artist meet-and-greets and special DJ appearances are also planned.
The returning World Party Parade takes the celebration back outside following its 2026 debut. The free, all-ages electronic dance music parade will once again bring performers and people from around the world onto the streets of Las Vegas.
With EDC Las Vegas giving Headliners an entirely new way to experience the festival in 2027, the inaugural Dusk Till Dawn edition is already shaping up to be one of its biggest changes in years. Across the full 12 days, the experience will extend beyond the two weekends at the Speedway. Art, nightlife, rave culture, community events, independent creators and new spaces around the city will all play a part. That gives people far more to explore before, between and after Dusk and Dawn. It also gives Insomniac room to develop ideas that have not previously been part of EDC on this scale. That makes the first edition of Dusk Till Dawn one to keep a close eye on when it begins in May 2027.
