VOL. 1
Electronic-pop-rock duo NINA and Radio Wolf create a sonic dreamscape of ghost lovers, moonlight escapades, starlit highways, and dreams run wild. Crafted as ‘electro-jukebox’ singles, their songs fuse Radio Wolf’s soulful electric guitar, soaring synths, atmospheric experimental SFX, pulsating electro-dance beats and, of course, the haunting vocals of NINA.
This retro-futuristic fusion of modern electronic music with more organic rock ‘n’ roll creates an emotionally charged soundscape resonant with a dark romantic spirit, igniting the imagination.
The album’s official lead single ‘To See You’ teases the album’s sound that feels otherworldly yet strangely familiar, like the return of a lost memory. The artists move freely and fluidly between analogue and digital realms, fusing them with live-wire intensity into a style that is unmistakably their own. JUKEBOX DREAM is designed to feel immersive and transportive — in their own words, “like stepping through a portal into another dimension where listeners can escape, break free and lose themselves in the music.”

( shares her thoughts )
“‘To See You’ embodies many of the dreamlike moods and emotional undercurrents flowing throughout the album. While recording, I imagined myself being lured into a strange moonlit atmosphere. Fully immersed, I moved through different tonal shifts, creating high and low levels of tension, while Radio Wolf’s guitar felt like another voice shimmering alongside me, urging me further into the darker, more uncanny side of our sound.
The song actually became more developed as we performed it live throughout Cannons’ European tour. In Paris, the audience was especially warm and receptive, and the atmosphere that night inspired extra vocals and the guitar solo to be improvised on stage. A fan captured the performance on video, allowing us to later work elements of it into the final recording.”
RADIO WOLF
( shares his thoughts )
“I built the track around duality — light and dark, smooth and edgy, haunting yet human. I also wanted to showcase sides of NINA’s voice that audiences may not have heard before — richer, darker and more dynamically expressive. I wanted ‘To See You’ to feel spectral and alluring yet at the same time emotionally grounded. Running through the song is the sensation of connecting with someone beyond physical sight — more through instinct, emotion and atmosphere than anything else.
Duality also carries through the production, where electronic elements and strange analogue effects collide with organic guitar playing — the sleek precision of electronica meeting the rawness of live performance. The rest of the album delves even further into the new sonic territory we’ve created, channeling memories and influences from old ’50s records to the ’80s and ’90s MTV hits we grew up with, and more — shapeshifting them into something new, immersive and entirely ours.”
THE ARTISTS
Singer-songwriter NINA joins forces with electronic rock artist-producer Radio Wolf to push beyond familiar territory and explore a wider musical landscape together. Predominantly known for Synthwave, NINA expands into more electronic rock territory, revealing new shades of emotional and vocal expression, while Radio Wolf evolves his vision of blending electronic production with rawer, more organic rock elements, his guitar playing becoming more propulsive and kinetic.
Their mutual creative restlessness and wild-at-heart energy fuel the charged chemistry between them.
Previous releases, ‘To See You’, ‘Don’t Trust The Night’, ‘My Dark’, ‘Tokyo Cowboy’ and ‘Bluesbreaker’ garnered praise for the duo’s genre-crossing sound, with some outlets describing NINA and Radio Wolf as “trailblazers.”
The duo performed new songs from Jukebox Dream live across Berlin, Cologne, Paris, London and Amsterdam while supporting Cannons on their European tour, also sharing stages with Johnny Jewel and De/Vision.
NINA and Radio Wolf continue their collaboration from their studio, Juke Empire, where they are already developing future recordings and evolving the sonic world of Jukebox Dream.
