Notiq is the turntablist of Nesian Mystik. He began DJing in high school. He had no cd player just a dodgy tape player that worked from time to time, playing records on an old stereo turntable to get new music.
A key part in Nesian Mystik's production, he works along side DMON to continuously take the Nesian sound to the next level. Though he is shy, his beats are anything but the former, with a definitive style that will get your head nodding.
He also holds down regular spots at the hottest clubs in New Zealand and hosts the Official Nesian Mystik after parties, where the crowd is never disappointed.
