Nina Kraviz's 2026: New Label, Ibiza, and a World Tour

Long before "Nina Kraviz" meant a headline slot at Tomorrowland Winter or a Sunday residency in Ibiza, it meant a name in our own archive. Our most-watched video of all time, out of everything RTS.FM has streamed and uploaded since 2006, is a single unbroken hour: NINA KRAVIZ / RTS.FM, recorded on 31.10.2009, running 1:04:17, and sitting past the one-million-view mark. Not her biggest festival set. Not a label showcase. A set she played for us, back when she was still a dentistry graduate turned Moscow DJ years away from becoming one of techno's most recognizable names. We've been playing her since before most people had heard of her, and 2026 is the year that early bet keeps paying off in public.

This is a recap, not a puff piece. Kraviz has had one of the busier years of her career: a new record label, a marquee Ibiza residency, a genuinely global run of festival dates, and an open question hanging over the DJ Mag Top 100 that won't resolve until the autumn. Here's everything confirmed so far, in one place, with links out to the deeper dives on each story.

Why Does RTS.FM's 2009 Nina Kraviz Set Still Matter?

Because it's real provenance, not a marketing angle. Kraviz recorded that set for RTS.FM in the fall of 2009, years before трип (Trip Recordings), before her Radio Slave-approved international breakout, before anyone was calling her one of the most influential DJs of her generation. The station has streamed underground techno and house continuously since 2006, artist-run and non-commercial, and the archive is the receipt: an hour-long set that has quietly outperformed everything else in our catalogue, view for view, for over a decade and a half of uploads. It's the reason a Moscow-founded, artist-first station has any business writing a Nina Kraviz recap at all, and it's why we're framing 2026 the way people who were actually there in 2009 would frame it: as the latest chapter in something we watched from the start.

What Is treats, Nina Kraviz's New Label?

Kraviz launched treats in March 2026 as what Electronic Groove reported is explicitly positioned as the "younger sister" to трип, her main label since 2014. Where трип has spent over a decade building a catalogue around Kraviz's own productions and a rotating cast of collaborators, treats is narrower and looser by design: club tracks that, in the label's own framing, ignore fixed genre categories in favor of straightforward dancefloor intent.

The debut release, treats 001, dropped as a two-track record built from material Kraviz had already been road-testing in her sets for months. The A-side, "pitbull de glocada," pairs Brazilian producer João Lágrima de Ouro with MC Pogba, leaning into the regional Brazilian sound and baile funk textures that have increasingly worked their way into Kraviz's own DJ sets. The B-side is the more personal story: "sem amor," a collaboration between Kraviz and Rio de Janeiro MC Nick, released on Bandcamp on February 27, 2026. By her own account and Electronic Groove's reporting, Kraviz found MC Nick's track "Mete com forca e com talento" online, built her own version around it, and later flew to Rio to record the actual vocal take on a beach in his hometown, a baile funk collaboration made in the place the sound comes from rather than in a studio thousands of miles away. We go deeper on the label's launch, its sound, and why a Russian-born techno DJ is now co-signing Brazilian funk MCs in Why Nina Kraviz Just Launched a Brazilian Funk Label.

What Is Nina Kraviz Doing at Amnesia Ibiza's Pyramid Party?

She's one of the three names holding down Pyramid, the Sunday-night residency at Amnesia Ibiza, which runs weekly from June 14 through October 4, 2026, according to the party's own listing on Amnesia's website. She shares the curatorial billing with Ricardo Villalobos and Richie Hawtin, an unusually heavyweight trio for a single weekly party, and the Sunday lineups have regularly rotated in Amelie Lens, Fatima Hajji, and Clara Cluvé across the Terrace and Main Room. Pyramid isn't a new party chasing credibility either: it was named Best Techno Party in Ibiza 2025 at the Vicious Music Awards, and the 2026 season has been booked accordingly, with minimal house and forward-leaning techno across both rooms rather than a single crossover-friendly sound. For a full breakdown of the residency, who's played it so far this season, and what makes it different from Ibiza's bigger commercial nights, read Inside Nina Kraviz's Sunday Residency at Amnesia Ibiza.

Where Can You Catch Nina Kraviz on Her 2026 World Tour?

Almost anywhere, on almost any continent, if the year's routing is anything to go by. Kraviz opened 2026 in Southeast Asia in January, playing Phuket, Thailand, before a March stop at Tomorrowland Winter in Alpe d'Huez, France. Spring took her to Los Angeles and Spaarnwoude in the Netherlands in May, plus Bogota, Colombia, as part of a wider South American run. Summer has been the heaviest stretch: Paris in June, then a string of July dates through Madrid, Hilvarenbeek in the Netherlands, Barcelona, a July 25 stop at fabric x Junction 2 in London (more on that below), and a Malta run from July 31 to August 2. August took her to NeoPop in Portugal and Lovefest in Serbia, and the tour continues into September in Belgium, November in Australia, and a confirmed slot at DGTL India on November 13 and 14. Full dates, venues, and how to get tickets are tracked in Where to Catch Nina Kraviz on Her 2026 World Tour, which we're updating as new stops are confirmed through the rest of the year.

Is Nina Kraviz Going to Top DJ Mag's Top 100 DJs 2026 Poll?

Nobody knows yet, and anyone telling you otherwise is guessing. Voting for DJ Mag's Top 100 DJs 2026 poll opened over the summer and closes September 16, 2026, with results not announced until October 6, 2026. Kraviz has placed in the poll in past years, but as of this writing there is no verified 2026 ranking, no confirmed score, and no leaked result worth repeating. Treat any site currently publishing a specific 2026 number for her as unverified until DJ Mag itself publishes the list. We're covering her history in the poll, what a strong result would mean given the year she's had, and what to watch for on results day in DJ Mag's 2026 Poll Closes Soon, Here's Kraviz's History.

Did Nina Kraviz Share a Bill With Jeff Mills in 2026?

Yes, on July 25, 2026, at Junction 2 x fabric by Night, a joint event between London's fabric and the Junction 2 festival team. The lineup, confirmed on fabric's own event page, put Kraviz alongside Jeff Mills, Polygonia b2b Pearson Sound, Francesco Del Garda, Peach, GiGi FM, and Anna Wall across the club's rooms. Pairing Kraviz with Mills, one of Detroit techno's defining architects, on the same bill as a London institution like fabric is the kind of booking that says more about her standing than any poll result could. The full lineup breakdown and set details are in Nina Kraviz and Jeff Mills Shared a Bill at Fabric.

How Does 2026 Fit Into Techno's Bigger Picture?

Kraviz's year is happening against a backdrop where techno keeps getting louder, faster, and more commercially visible on both sides of the Atlantic. RTS.FM has already covered how hard techno's American boom has pushed tempos past 180 BPM and dragged the genre toward the mainstream, and how Belgium's biggest names, Amelie Lens and Charlotte de Witte, turned their own long-rumored studio pairing into the One Mind EP and a run of sold-out arena shows. Kraviz's 2026, by contrast, is deliberately not chasing that extreme end of the spectrum. treats leans into baile funk and genre-agnostic club tracks rather than tempo escalation, and her Pyramid residency sits inside Ibiza's minimal and techno tradition rather than its bigger, more festival-scaled rooms. It's a reminder that the same year that's pushing techno toward stadiums is also making room for a Russian-born DJ recording vocals on a beach in Rio, and that both things can be true of the genre at once.

What Ties All of This Back to RTS.FM?

Nothing manufactured, just a long memory. We were streaming Nina Kraviz's set in 2009 when nobody outside a small circle of Moscow and internet-radio heads knew her name, and that hour has now been watched more times than anything else in our archive. Seventeen years and a new label, a Sunday Ibiza residency, and a world tour later, that early instinct still holds up. If you want to hear the kind of sets that made us book her in the first place, the RTS.FM stream runs continuously with resident and guest DJs working in the same underground, non-commercial lane, and the back catalogue of vinyl and digital releases from RTS.FM-affiliated artists is on Bandcamp. For release announcements, set uploads, and the occasional archive dig, our Telegram channel is the fastest way to know when something like that 2009 set resurfaces.
