Nikka Lorak has released her new single ‘Life of a Genius’ through Species Records. The track combines hypnotic rhythms, acid textures, and a deep bassline with vocals from Rick Roman.
The Belgian-born, London-based DJ and producer draws on her background in fashion photography and filmmaking to develop a cinematic approach to electronic music. Her latest production reflects that visual sensibility through a darker atmosphere, built around sirens, claps, and a persistent low-end pulse.
‘Life of a Genius’ moves between techno, electro, and trance, incorporating UK garage-inspired vocals. The combination creates a tension between the track’s rhythmic foundation and its introspective lyrical themes.
Discussing the release, Lorak explains: “‘Life of a Genius’ is a reflection on the deepest and not-so-pretty corners of my soul. Life of a Genius is the sound of a soul at war with itself. Dark thoughts, dangerous decisions, broken rules. Nothing about it was meant to feel safe.”
She adds: “‘Life of a Genius’ came from the parts of me I normally keep locked away. The aggression, the darkness, the hunger, the instinct to survive. This record let all of it out.”
Beyond her studio work, Lorak has performed at London venues including Fabric and Ministry of Sound. Her release on Species Records, part of the Neo-Digital Music Group, places her alongside artists including Patrice Bäumel, Blake Light, and Thomas Gandey.
