In this track, experience the calming beauty of raindrops falling through blooming trees, soothing your soul and refreshing your spirit.

Bombs Away

Get ready for the impact this is not a drill! It's beats dropping hard!

This Present Darkness

Step into a realm where light is fleeting and shadows speak. This Present Darkness explores the tension between struggle and hope, fear and faith, chaos and clarity.

Can't Hardly Breathe

For a long time I had panic attacks because I tried to find the one to love me and I was in a relationship here I wasn't loved and I didn't even know it...maybe someday.

Torrential

From Spring Rain to a Torrential Downpour.

About Me

I have been producing electronic music since 2001. I was DJ Underside in Rochester, NY for a few years in college at RIT. I made a lot of different kinds of music. I produced for a hip hop group called Barabbas for a time. I then was given the name Nikao or “overcomer”. But, now, I am simply Nick. I have thrown away all facades and just want to enjoy music. I hope you will enjoy also.

Nicholas R Johnson doesn’t produce one specific genre of electronic music…this is “future music”…raw emotion. The dynamic range is valued, and the work is not overcompressed. There I just too much over production nowadays that leaves music lifeless. Nicholas wants to invite you into his heart.
