Nia Archives
Nia Archives is one of the most exciting and transformative voices in contemporary jungle, an artist who has helped carry the sound from underground dancefloors to a new generation of listeners without losing its emotional core. Based in the UK, she has rapidly become a defining figure in jungle’s modern evolution, blending classic breakbeats and bass pressure with melody, vulnerability and a deeply personal perspective.
“Emerging in the early 2020s, Nia Archives arrived with a sound that felt instantly familiar yet completely fresh. Rooted in the traditions of ’90s jungle and drum & bass, her productions fuse fast, chopped breaks with warm pads, expressive vocals and songwriting influences drawn from outside club culture. The result is music that works just as powerfully as a listening experience as it does on a rave system.
Tracks such as Baianá, Forbidden Feelingz and So Tell Me… introduced a new emotional language to jungle, pairing euphoric momentum with introspective themes. Her debut album Silence Is Loud expanded that vision further, weaving together club tracks and more reflective moments into a body of work that speaks to identity, community and self-expression, while remaining grounded in rave heritage.
As a DJ, Nia Archives brings the same openness and energy to her sets. Her performances move fluidly between jungle, drum & bass and bass music, balancing high-tempo intensity with moments of melody and release. From intimate club rooms to large-scale festival stages, her presence behind the decks has helped introduce jungle to audiences who may never have encountered it before.
Beyond music, Nia Archives has become an important cultural voice within the scene, offering a more visible, inclusive and emotionally honest take on what jungle can be today. Her rise has coincided with a wider resurgence of the genre, and her influence has played a key role in shaping its current direction.
Bold, heartfelt and forward-looking, Nia Archives represents a new chapter for jungle — one that honours the past while opening the door to new stories, new sounds and new spaces on the dancefloor.
