NINA KRAVIZ Interview- growing up in Siberia, being a dentist, religion, Russia party scene

Hi it's Lauren Engel of Sidewalk Talk :)
Producer, occasional vocalist, and DJ Nina Kraviz hails from Irkutsk, Siberia. Kraviz fell under the spell of house music during the mid-'90s through radio. A few years later, she moved to Moscow for the sake of studying dentistry, and was briefly part of a trio called MySpaceRocket. The group released one 12", 2007's "Amok," a lean house track with a deep bassline and Kraviz's breathy vocals; the B-side featured a version from U.K. DJ legend Greg Wilson. Kraviz subsequently went solo and made a splash in 2009, when she issued productions on Efdemin's Naïf, Jus-Ed's Underground Quality, and Matt Edwards' Rekids. The following year, Kraviz issued another handful of singles, including a sound clash with Sascha Funke that appeared on BPitch Control. "Ghetto Kraviz" was her lone 2011 single and set up the release of her first album, a self-titled set for REKIDS. "Ghetto Kraviz" would prove to be an enduring club track, and was remixed numerous times throughout the decade. Following additional singles on Rekids and Rosa, as well as the Mr. Jones EP in 2013, Kraviz founded the Trip label in 2014. Her installment of !K7's DJ-Kicks series was released in early 2015. Another mix CD, Fabric 91, followed in late 2016.

Hey guys, apologies for my interviewing in this episode. Nina had a flight to catch to go to South America that she was running really late for and I was stressed for her to make it on time. I'm not usually like this. Hope you understand. Thanks!

[@ewoksactive1838]

Thank you for having the time ! Must have been such a great experience! I have a super crush on her , love her music . Great video!

[@SJ-qd7hm]

It's okay! It didn't really bother me, personally. Besides Nina seems like a such a sweetheart and she enjoyed talking with you :)

[@seanclarkteisher7790]

I'd be curious in hearing the story on how you landed this interview...Nina is literally one of the biggest on earth. Surprised as hell to see her on the list.

[@dontaskwhatkindofmusic]

we all have those days. this is awesome still and i'm entertained. love what you're doing. sound is on point. maybe one day i'll get to walk with you. walking is one of my fav things to do and i feel like we have our best thoughts on walks.

[@SpaceIsThePlace_]

No worries, I thought this was great

[@okaywow3486]

she seems like SUCH a grounded individual. She has such a calming presence.

[@Nemanja314]

When you see her on a set, you think like how come she's so charismatic and good at what she's doing, and it looks so simple. But after watching this interview you realise nothing is simple and easy. She deserved to be one of the most famous dj/producers, it was not just by luck. And suddenly it looks so hard to be like her.

[@titoarmando4665]

terima kasih sudah interview mbak yang satu ini

[@flann5802]

tante kraviz dewasa banget pembawaannya

[@baudynaomi4132]

Please don’t take it bas but as something to improve : the constant « ioooh » and « yaaa » are really loosing the quality of this interview, it becomes really annoying after 30sec already and made me quit this video because i just cannt bear it... when you interview someone it is important to let the space of the person to talk and to be aware that this talk is gonna be watch by people that are not in the moment... really takes care of that for the future :)

[@SidewalkTalks]

Heyyy ya i filmed this nearly half a year ago when i was starting to do interviews. since then i have improved and paid more attention on my reactions. also was super stressed when i was filming this cause she about to miss her flight xx

[@pali01pornstar]

you don't seem in a hurry...yaaaa

[@nancycat9242]

I absolutely didn’t care, it was just like two friends talking and one of them is talking and another reacting in a really natural way. Moreover, I just was enjoying Nina’s beauty and voice

[@nicole_russia]

My parents grew up in Siberia too

[@tekboi9195]

Okay this is epic.

Compare this to Seth Troxler. 180 degrees difference reached.

[@seanclarkteisher7790]

Nina got way too heady for her

[@luxorodotorg]

they have stolen all. sorry, you're wonderful. Sorry for ciudadella...i was furious. regards, :*

[@vanderleimoraes3575]

Aqui nesse vídeo Eu não Estou entendo o que ela Está falando,👍👍👍 Kkkk Kkkk Kkkk Kkkk

[@svwtsvfcb]

So is she like christian orthodox or just believes in a diety without belonging to a group?

[@linalinalin]

svwtsvfcb i think she's agnostic

[@brandondaniels9471]

She believes in God but chooses not to subscribe to organized/formal religion. Anyone can believe that there is a higher power greater than one's self without being told to do so by a book or by a religion. Some religious people seem to make "belonging to a group" more important than simply believing in God.

[@autotrimmers6353]

U acted like u didn’t care about anything she was saying amh

[@vanderleimoraes3575]

OK não entendi nada 👍👎👍

[@GV_777YT]

She was so open and eager to share on so many topics waiting for your lead and all you could say was. . . yeah. . terrible.

[@SidewalkTalks]

i wanted her to talk and its about her the interview its not me. plus she had to rush to her flight (which she missed) so i just wanted to let her keep talking.

[@GV_777YT]

@@SidewalkTalks I read your apology comment right after i saw your reply. My bad in commenting with out knowing the context, still is a bummer you weren't able to engage a bit more with her, she seems to have so many cool points of view on things. Despite the situation i feel you weren't very present and good at listening, i know you are the one with the channel so what do i know but may be take this as a kind feedback from a viewer :) keep your good work and thank you for this long interview with the Lady.
