Nitepunk, real name Lasha Mamulashvili, i a Georgia born, US based electronic music producer. At the beginning of his expedition into dance music, the producer was integral to the rave scene in the country of Georgia and he had to work numerous jobs in the United States to support his passion for music. His entry into the scene started with him dancing as a teenager. Mamulashvili began dancing when he was three years old, specializing in the national style of Georgian dance. When he was 11 years old, he became inspired by street dance and hip-hop. Eventually, Hollywood actor and dancer Robert Hoffman, known for his work in the “Step Up 2: The Streets” movie, saw his dancing videos and bought one of his songs that he grooved to. Mamulashvili capitalized on this as it was a massive deal in his country, and he used this opportunity to support the dance music scene in Georgia. His events were “nasty, sweaty raves” in lounges and abandoned places, such as an empty pool hall. “Me being exposed to these dance movies completely changed my world,” he says. “The music selection, the style…everything was so cool to me. I wanted to be around something like this, especially growing up in a post-Soviet country. Everything's mostly gray there, and those things were my escape. I wanted to create that reality around me.” Later on, he moved to New York on a tourist visa but had to scramble for places to live and afford food, with the artist saying it was a “brutal” time and it was difficult to be in a new country without his friends and family. His main idea for coming to the United States was to be surrounded by creative and like-minded people. To stay in the country, he worked numerous jobs and eventually got his green card in 2016 when he was 21 years old. Stashed up in Brooklyn as a completely unknown artist, a whole new chapter began as Nitepunk. Fundamentally it was a level up, but ostensibly it might not have seemed that way for a while. Lasha was (and still is) a superstar in Georgia. But he didn’t want superstar. He wanted be part of a larger creative movement where his future had unlimited creative potential. After a few smouldering agenda-setters in 2015/16, he first started to make major movements in 2018 on Disciple and Circus Recrods
