NIØM joins PLAYNOW
A young name in melodic afro house, with a short, verifiable catalogue and an uncommon signal for a debut: Armada licensed his first single twice.
PLAYNOW is pleased to announce that NIØM has joined its roster. His is the shortest track record on our list and we present it exactly as it stands: a brief catalogue, released between 2024 and 2026, and one concrete endorsement that explains why we have signed him now rather than in two years' time. An agency's work is not only to represent finished careers; it is also to recognise judgement while it is still being built.
A project you read through its catalogue
NIØM works across afro house, melodic house and progressive: afro-rooted grooves, long melodic development and a reading of the floor closer to the underground club than to the peak-time moment. He has not made his real name or an extensive biography public, so everything that can be stated about him sits in his releases, and they are few and precisely dated.
His home is Unreleased Records, a label operating out of Spain with Arodes as its most visible figure, where all three of his singles have appeared. His two remixes, by contrast, came out beyond that circle, on Eklektisch and on LNDKHN. It is a small distinction, but a meaningful one: his work also travels on other people's judgement, not only on proximity to a single label.
Five releases, every one dated
His complete discography fits into a single list, which is precisely the reason to read it in full rather than summarise it:
- May 2024. Remix of «Desert Rebels» by Geopard Tourist, for LNDKHN.
- September 2024. «How I Feel», his first single, on Unreleased Records.
- November 2024. Remix of «Kings & Queens» by SHMN, for Eklektisch.
- November 2025. «Bright Lights», with Zeno (ofc), again on Unreleased Records.
- August 2026. «Love Like Yours», with Darque and Leon John, also on Unreleased Records.
Armada, twice, on the same record
The fact that underpins this signing dates from 2024. Armada licensed «How I Feel» for two compilations: «Armada Electronic Elements – ADE 2024» and «Chill Executive Officer (CEO) Vol. 34», a series curated by Maykel Piron, co-founder and chief executive of the label. A first single appearing on two compilations from a house of that size, one of them selected personally by its most senior figure, is not a headline: it is evidence of professional listening, and it is hard to come by on a debut. From there, the agency's job is to support a calendar, not to rush it.
A debut single licensed twice by Armada does not guarantee a career, but it does confirm that someone with judgement listened and chose.

What he brings to the roster
NIØM enters our roster as what he is today: an early-stage profile with a defined musical line and a verifiable catalogue behind it. He suits three kinds of booking, all of them consistent with his register:
- Opening and early club hours, where the melodic, afro-leaning register builds the night ahead of the peak stretch.
- Clubs with melodic programming, with long-developing sets between melodic house and progressive.
- Label showcases and series featuring several roster names, a format in which an emerging artist shares context, billing and audience.
