NABII ANNOUNCED AS WINNER OF

THE BLUEPRINT PROJECT 2025

RELEASES SOPHOMORE EP ‘TEMPORARY BLISS’

BUY/STREAM: NABII – TEMPORARY BLISS

Blue Music Services is proud to announce Naarm/Melbourne based artist nabii as the winner of the inaugural Blueprint Project 2025 – a national initiative dedicated to discovering and developing the next generation of Australian electronic artists.

Launched earlier this year, The Blueprint Project received an overwhelming response, with well over 100 entries showcasing a vibrant and diverse cross-section of the country’s electronic music talent. Submissions spanned house, techno, breaks, experimental club, pop, ambient and beyond – the competition reflected the sheer scope and creativity of the scene in 2025.

nabii was a clear standout among a highly competitive and diverse group of artists. Drawing influence from hyperpop, trance, trip-hop and experimental club music, her sound defies easy categorisation. As Amanda Blue explains, “Her work is impossible to box in – she’s a DJ, producer, vocalist, instrumentalist, and multidisciplinary artist. What really struck us was how she channels storytelling and catharsis through her performance. With nabii, it’s not just about the sound – it’s about the emotional connection.”

nabii’s sophomore EP temporary bliss, out today, is a 6-track collection delving into themes of escapism, healing, and emotional release in the digital age. nabii shares “temporary bliss is a personal journey of figuring myself out and trying to find where I fit in the world. Each track taps into a different part of that process – whether it’s being stuck in my own head, going through heartbreak, learning to love myself again, or channelling anger into attitude. It’s honest, vulnerable, and a little bratty at times. This EP really shows the different sides of me, both emotionally and sonically.”

A natural performer with a commanding stage presence, nabii uses live hardware in her sets to deliver unique, visceral experiences packed with energy, emotion and attitude. She’s performed at iconic Naarm venues like Max Watts, Miscellania, and Howler, sharing the stage with artists such as DJ Heartstring, CAIVA and more.”. Whilst her mixes have been featured on influential platforms such as Rinse FM (Steel City Dance Discs Takeover), Hanoi Community Radio, Triple R’s Mooncake, and triple j’s Mix Up, and was recently featured in Mixmag Asia’s Artists Exciting Us Spotlight – recognising her as one of the most exciting voices in electronic music right now.

Off the stage, nabii is also a passionate community builder. She is the founder of AngelFM, a radio show and platform spotlighting femmes and POC in the scene, committed to creating safer and more inclusive spaces within electronic music culture.

To celebrate the release of her EP, nabii is hitting the stage across a series of live and DJ performances. Expect immersive sets and a powerful sonic journey through the world of temporary bliss.

Keep an eye on nabii and Blue Music Services’ channels for upcoming announcements, new releases, and live show dates as her journey with The Blueprint Project unfolds.
