Last Saturday night was super emotional. It was Nina Las Vegas' last ever time hosting Mix Up Exclusive on triple j. For someone who started listening to triple j because of Nina and her voiebox of dreams, seeing her go was a pretty big deal.
On to bigger and better things, it was a huge celebration, there was a party in the studio featuring all the triple j crew and there was a massive farewell show planned. There were 8 exclusive 20 min mixes from some of Nina's high profile friends, Cashmere Cat, Diplo, RL Grime, Flume, Flight Facilities, Anna Lunoe and one friend who's profile is not as large but had my favourite set of the nigh, DJ Levins a.k.a Levdawg. There were also countless goodbye and good luck messages from, Skrillex, A-Track, Brodinski, Alison Wonderland and many many more.
Between mixes, Nina played some of her fave tracks including my personal #1's, Lemonade by SOPHIE and Man Don't Care by JME and Giggs. Fellow triple j queen Linda Marigliano stayed and partied 'till the end, essentially becoming Nina's slightly intoxicated hype girl towards the end of the show (which was the best thing ever).
Letting Flume be the last guest she presents as the host of Mix Up Exclusive, Nina said her ty's and goodbyes breaking the nations heart with her final 'goodnight'. Not all sad news, NLV isn't really going anywhere, just slightly changing her role in the scene by starting her own record label, NLV Records as well as making more music herself.
Regardless, i'm gonna miss hearing her on the radio like everyone else. It's been real, Nina.
Listen back below and cry.
