Diplo, Flume, Cashmere Cat and More on Mix for Nina Las Vegas’s Final Triple J Show [LISTEN]

After a decade of ruling the Australian airwaves (and beyond) as host of several Triple J Radio shows, electronic DJ, producer and tastemaker Nina Agzarian, aka Nina Las Vegas, has left the station. For her final Mix Up Exclusives show this weekend, she solicited 30-minute mixes from Diplo, Anna Lunoe, Flight Facilities, Flume, Cashmere Cat, RL Grime, Swick and Levins. The result is a 4-hour long celebration of NLV's lasting influence full of new music (as well as some throwbacks) from each of the guests. Listen to the mix here:

Agzarian put in over ten years at the Australian station and in that time became synonymous with Australian electronic dance music. As Your EDM reports, she brought listeners "the very best in dance music with her Saturday night show House Party, which expanded into a CD and club tour during her tenure. After House Party, [she] became the host of the infamous Triple J Mix Up Exclusives which featured mixes from essentially every major player in dance music from Skrillex to Madeon, and more." It's widely accepted, as This Song Is Sick reports, that she "helped jump start the careers of many local acts including Peking Duk, Chet Faker, What So Not, Alison Wonderland and Wave Racer, while bringing in a plethora of international artists into the studio. Essentially, if you went down under as a dance music artist, you had to slide through Nina Las Vegas' doors."

Now that she has officially retired from Triple J, the venerated DJ has wasted no time launching her own record label with Kristy Barker (aka Kritty), NLV Records. As announced via the label's new website, among the first signees include genre-bending Swick, "grime extraordinaire" Strict Face, Australian "house authority" Lewis Cancut, "oblique club pioneer" Air Max '97 and Nina Las Vegas herself. To celebrate the label's launch, they will be sharing a free download of a new track from each of the founding signees in the coming weeks. Listen to NLV Records' inaugural release, Lewis Cancut's "Systems," below.
