Nina & Radio Wolf
Berlin-based Electronic-Pop-Rock artists NINA and RADIO WOLF create a romantic dreamworld of ghost lovers, moonlight escapades, starlit highways, and dreams run wild with their high-energy revelatory sound.
Crafted as ‘jukebox worthy singles’, their songs fuse Radio Wolf’s soulful electric guitar, soaring synths, atmospheric experimental SFX, pulsating electro-dance beats and of course the haunting vocals of NINA.
