Nastya Mira has spent the last several years building a sound shaped by movement, both geographically and creatively. Born in Tver, musically formed in Moscow’s club ecosystem, and now based in Dubai, her path through the global dance music scene feeds directly into the way she approaches production and DJing.
That perspective lands in full on her latest release, One EP, arriving on Dealt With Records with two house tracks that lean into groove, momentum, and a sense of emotional clarity on the dancefloor.
The EP lands at a moment when Mira’s production work is beginning to match the momentum she already built behind the decks. After eight years playing clubs and festivals across Russia and beyond, she turned serious attention toward the studio. The result is a body of work that feels instinctive and club-minded without losing the personality that comes from her wide listening habits and cross-scene influences.

A global club perspective shaped by movement
Mira’s background says a lot about the way her music lands. Early exposure to MTV and alternative rock led to deeper exploration through online platforms and European club culture, eventually pulling her into DJing. That path led to an audition at Moscow’s well-known Gipsy club, which quickly opened the door to regular bookings across the city.
From there, touring expanded her perspective and eventually pushed her toward Dubai, where the focus shifted toward developing her own productions. That shift shows up clearly in the One EP. Instead of chasing a rigid formula, the tracks lean into feeling first, which mirrors the way many DJs actually respond to music on a dancefloor.
Her influences point in a similar direction. UK artists such as Jamie xx, Four Tet, Burial, Bonobo, Patrick Holland, and Palms Trax sit alongside moments from club history that still resonate today, including Moodymann’s memorable Flow Festival performance and Laurent Garnier’s “A Man With the Red Face.” Those touchpoints reflect a taste for groove-driven music that carries personality alongside club functionality.
Two tracks built around groove and dancefloor energy
The EP opens with “One,” a house track driven by a rolling rhythm and buoyant low end that moves forward with steady momentum. The arrangement leaves space for melodic touches and subtle harmonic layers that add lift without distracting from the groove. It has the kind of balance that DJs often look for when trying to guide a room toward a shared moment on the floor.
The second track, “See,” pushes the energy further. The rhythm hits harder, the bassline becomes more animated, and an acid-leaning synth line adds a sharper edge to the track’s movement. Pads and ghostly vocal textures drift through the background, giving the track enough atmosphere to work in deeper club settings while still driving dancers forward.
Together the two tracks highlight the dual side of Mira’s approach. One leans into warmth and groove while the other focuses on momentum and physical energy. Both maintain a sense of playfulness that keeps the music grounded in the dancefloor rather than technical showmanship.
Confidence behind the studio desk
While Mira has been producing for several years, the One EP signals a period where confidence in the studio is beginning to match her experience behind the decks. Her workflow remains straightforward. Ableton, a MIDI keyboard, headphones, and a strong cup of coffee make up the core of her production environment.
That stripped-back setup allows the focus to stay on the idea itself rather than the tools around it. It is a method that aligns with the EP’s overall feel. The tracks carry personality and movement without feeling overly engineered.
With One EP, Nastya Mira steps further into her role as a producer who understands how club music lives and breathes on the floor. The release reflects a perspective shaped by multiple scenes, years of DJ experience, and a growing confidence in translating instinct into finished tracks.
