    Be One – via Muzică Without Frontiers is the debut album released by Nico de Transilvania. The long awaited follow up to ‘Come get your sisters’ synthesises electronic dance music with traditional Romanian instruments and folk songs. This fusion of genres has resulted in a groundbreaking eight track LP which has been crafted to bring together a mix of influences, reflecting one of Nico’s inimitable DJ sets which seamlessly unites bouncy Balkan beats with drum and bass, deep-house, folktronica and dance music.

    Based on her Muzică Without Frontiers vision to unite artists of all ages and culture, this album explores her own ancestral heritage, and the preservation of musical traditions through soulful electronica.

    Instrumental to this production are Tom Beaufoy (Evil Nine) and Abstract Source who coproduced the album alongside over twenty contributing artists recording on location in Romanian forests, Bucharest and back in the UK by Wes Maebe.

    Concept by Nico de Transilvania

    Written and produced by Nico de Transilvania, Jules Dickens and Tom Beaufoy.

    My main aim with this project is to help preserve the old traditional instruments and folk songs from my homeland Transilvania and bring them back to life on an electronic dance music platform. This album weaves together the two genres of music that I have been DJing: the electronic dance music and the world music.

    Unlike any other release you’ll read about today, all profits from sales of this album will plant trees in Romania by the Muzică Without Frontiers charitable initiative ‘Forests Without Frontiers’.

    Donations can be made via: www.forestswithoutfrontiers.org

    With the vision to plant forests for future generations, all profits and donations from this album will go directly to the initiative ‘Forests Without Frontiers’. ‘Be One’ is an album for the environmentally conscience dance floor lover which we’re hoping in 2020 is just about everyone.

    Be One – out on 15th November 2018 via Muzică Without Frontiers is the debut album to be released by Nico de Transilvania. The long awaited follow up to 2017’s EP ‘Come get your sisters’ synthesises electronic dance music with traditional Romanian instruments and folk songs.This fusion of genres has resulted in a groundbreaking seven track LP which has been crafted to bring together a mix of influences, reflecting one of Nico’s inimitable DJ sets. Full of energetic, bouncy Balkan beats and hypotonic vocals wired together with electronic music.

    On ‘Be One’, Nico picks up from the authentic sounds that defined ‘Come get your sisters’, which laid the groundwork for this new and dynamic production. Based on her Muzică Without Frontiers vision to unite artists of all ages and culture, this album explores her own ancestral heritage, and the preservation of musical traditions through soulful electronica.

    With support already garnered from ‘Nickodemus’ who successfully road-tested‘Come Get Your Sisters’ atBonobo’s Boiler Room session in New York, the latest chapter of Nico’s exploration as a producer showcases her interpretation of the music that energises her DJ sets and influences her selections. Her innate ability to create music that makes you want to dance is immortalised in this electronic genre hopping LP which seamlessly unites drum and bass, house, folktronica and dance music.

    Instrumental to this production are Tom Beaufoy (Evil Nine) and Abstract Source who coproduced the album alongside over twenty contributing artists recording on location in Romanian forests, Bucharest and back in the UK by Wes Maebe.
