Like the medicinally rich black tar from which their name is derived, shelajit (Nikaya Tang) channels a deep, refined essence into everything they create. A visionary music producer, dancer, and performer, they fuse electronic production with the organic resonance of the guzheng, crafting sonic landscapes that feel both timeless and innovative.

Rooted in emotion and atmosphere, their compositions seamlessly weave ethereal vocals with intricate sound design, blending traditional Chinese instrumentation with modern electronic textures. Their music is an exploration of contrast: organic and synthetic, delicate and raw, structured yet deeply intuitive.

As one half of The Texture Bois, a collaborative project with LŪKA, shelajit delves deeper into the intersection of tradition and innovation, creating immersive, experimental performances that transcend language and genre.
