Nick Stoynoff’s (@nick_stoynoff) remix of Inger’s “Find You” lands on Reworck on July 9, 2026, bringing the track into a progressive house space built around patience, motion, and controlled tension. Clocking in at 125 BPM in B minor, the remix sits in that late-night lane where melody and pacing matter as much as impact. It is the kind of record that makes sense inside a set when the goal is not simply to lift the room, but to add a wider sense of direction.
That idea of direction runs through Stoynoff’s answers below.
His definition of depth in DJing comes down to range, pacing, navigation, risk-taking, and avoiding a flat, linear approach.
That is also a useful way to hear his larger work, whether through his own productions, remixes, or NOFF, the label he has built as a home for forward-thinking electronic artists including Vince Watson, Funk D’Void, Alex Banks, Raica, Legowelt, Pole Folder, Jim Rivers, Danny In Space, Aubrey Fry, Randall Jones, and others.
In the interview below, Stoynoff talks about stepping away from scenes and hype cycles, building something long-term through NOFF, and staying committed to work that feels honest rather than trend-responsive. His answers cut straight into a tension that runs through modern DJ culture: the loudest thing is not always the thing that lasts. For Stoynoff, the long game comes from struggle, failure, and making music he genuinely cares about, then trusting the right people will find it.
Interview With Nick Stoynoff
How do you define depth in your work as a DJ?
Depth, in the context of DJing, is about range, pacing, energy, navigation, creativity, risk-taking, and avoiding linearity.
There is little depth if everything exists on the same plane.
Have you ever had to consciously step away from hype cycles to protect your process?
Yes. I have intentionally removed myself from scenes and trends, and have distanced myself from being at the center of everything to mitigate external pressure.
It helps me keep the blinders on and stay focused on what genuinely interests me.
What is something you have built over time that you are proud of, even if it did not trend?
My label, NOFF. It has been a true labor of love, and it has become a home for incredibly creative, forward-thinking artists in the electronic music space.
Artists such as Vince Watson, Funk D’Void, Alex Banks, Raica, Legowelt, Pole Folder, Jim Rivers, Danny In Space, Aubrey Fry, Randall Jones, and many others have released on the label.
It is an opportunity to keep people connected to the dancefloor while also showcasing more leftfield work.
How do you cultivate growth that feels real, not performative?
Real growth is often the product of failure and the pain that comes with it.
You have to struggle, learn from those experiences, and appreciate the small victories along the way.
When you look back, what do you notice about the things that aged well versus the things that burned out fast?
The things that age well are the works that are genuine in nature, not the material created to satisfy a short-term trend.
They endure because they are honest.
Is there a part of your work that the public does not see, but fuels everything?
Yes, the struggle.
An artist’s struggles fuel everything. They are a necessary part of growth and the creative process, and ultimately they are what drive my progress.
How do you stay committed to the long game when hype is louder than craft?
You forge your own path and never look for acceptance. I am not responsible for other people’s opinions of my music.
I am not here to make music for a specific audience or to satisfy expectations. Someone else can do that.
My purpose is to create what I genuinely care about, and to trust that the people who connect with it will find it.
