Nimino’s Newest Drop, ‘Beside of Me’ Sets the Tone for His Upcoming Sunbar Set
It’s not often that a master of emotive production and genre-blending groove lands right in our backyard, but that’s exactly what’s happening on Thursday, July 3rd, when Nimino touches down at Sunbar in Tempe, and just in time to ride the wave of his brand-new single “Beside of Me.”
This track is a proper sunset weapon. From the jump, it eases in with ambient textures and subtly filtered synth pads, giving Maverick Sabre’s raspy, soulful vocals space to breathe. It’s a minimalistic but intentional build, the kind that pulls you into a moment rather than forcing it. Around the one-minute mark, a punchy synth lead cuts through the haze, round and warm, riding just behind the kick. That’s when the elevation begins. The groove locks in with a crisp snare on the twos, a deep low-end presence, and percussive detailing that gives it a tasteful house bounce without going full club banger.
It’s expertly restrained, which is exactly what makes it so effective. This is the kind of track you’d slot into a peak sunset set, think rooftops, skyline silhouettes, cocktails in hand, and that shared feeling that something special is happening.
And that’s what Nimino excels at, emotionally rich and soulful beats. As a producer and DJ, he sculpts moods. His sound lives somewhere between melodic electronica, UK house, and chill bass, and he’s been honing it for years. Releases like “No Sympathy,” “Nothing Perfect,” and “Opening Credits” have all earned him a loyal following of music lovers who value depth, story, and soul over drops and dopamine.
Nimino’s journey began in the UK’s vibrant underground electronic scene, where he first gained attention for his lush, cinematic instrumentals and ability to fuse electronic and organic elements seamlessly. Early on, he earned support from tastemaker platforms like Majestic Casual and found his way into the headphones and hearts of fans across Europe and beyond. As his production evolved, so did his reach, leading to support from BBC Radio, festival appearances, and collaborations that elevated his profile without compromising the intimacy of his sound.
With Milo Evans on composition and Maverick Sabre’s unmistakable timbre on vocals, “Beside of Me” is a full-bodied showcase of Nimino’s growth and vision. This is more than a streaming hit. It’s a set piece, a staple, a mood you can build a whole night around.
This release lands just ahead of Nimino’s biggest headline tour yet, and Phoenix is lucky enough to be one of its stops. It’s a rare and intimate opportunity to catch an artist with global taste and underground roots doing what he does best.
Whether you’re a longtime fan of melodic electronica or someone chasing your next sonic escape, July 3rd at Sunbar is your moment. Nimino is coming. Snag tickets here.

I found EDM in my early years as a high schooler, with artists like Avicii, Afrojack, Tiësto, Martin Garrix, Krewella, and so many others filling my playlists. In 2017, Voodoo Music Festival became my first festival and live music experience, and honestly, I have not stopped since. Since then, I’ve made my way through 20+ music festivals and at least 43 shows that I’ve actually remembered to count, but the numbers have never been the best part. It’s the people I’ve met, the memories made, the unexpected moments, and that feeling of being surrounded by thousands of people who all came to feel something together. I write because I genuinely love this community and the music that brings us together. My hope with every article, review, and story is to capture even a little bit of that feeling and share it with you. I want you to feel the excitement I feel standing in that crowd, hear the details that made a song stick in my heart, and understand just how much I appreciate the artists, fans, and experiences that make this community so special. There is so much magic in this world of music, and I’m just happy I get to be here for it, listen to it, and put some of that love into words.
