DJ Nova, a.k.a. Nelson Fernandez, is a Venezuelan transplant and pivotal

figure of Miami's underground EDM scene since the early '90s. With a

lifelong commitment to his craft, Nova's DJ career has taken him from

Miami's myriad local clubs and venues to bookings all over the U.S. and

Latin America, including performances at the Detroit Electronic Music

Festival and Miami's Ultra Music Festival.

In the late '90s, Nova hosted

his own weekly show at The Womb internet radio featuring stellar

guest appearances by the likes of Juan Atkins and John Acquaviva, and

as creator/event coordinator for the Miami Meets Detroit WMC event from

1999-2005, Nova showcased and played alongside some of the greatest

techno legends in the world, including Juan Atkins, Kevin Saunderson,

Matthew Dear and Magda. With no intention of slowing down, Nova

continues to impact our local scene as a prolific DJ/producer and

through Pornograph Events, which will be presenting the

highly-anticipated Derrick May and Francois K "Cosmic Twins" gig on

June 20 at Nocturnal.

DJ Nova will be featured as a guest DJ on

tonight's Weekly Record Check show on Chicago's Just Quality Music

internet radio station (www.justqualitymusic.com) from 10 p.m.-1 a.m. Weekly Record Check broadcasts every Thursday night and features a

live mix and interview by international guest artists with a selection

of the latest unreleased underground house and techno.
