Hey music lovers, imagine this: you’re cruising with the windows down on a sunny day, bassline thumping, and a melody that instantly makes you smile. That’s exactly the vibe Nina Black serves up with her very first original release, “I Don’t Know” featuring Laud. After a decade behind the decks, this Belgian DJ and radio star is stepping into the spotlight as an artist—and what a way to begin.
If you’ve been following the Belgian dance scene, you already know Nina Black. She’s the high-energy force behind “Nina Black Friday” on MNM, Belgium’s national youth radio station. With her contagious smile and magnetic personality, she’s become one of the most loved DJs in the country. Her sets light up massive festivals like Tomorrowland, Rock Werchter, Pukkelpop, and Sunrise Festival. Whether she’s blending uptempo tracks or creating pure feel-good energy on stage, Nina knows how to connect with every crowd. She also brings fashion and dance into her performances, turning every set into a visually energetic experience. Now, in 2026, she’s opening a brand-new chapter by releasing her own music.
“I Don’t Know” is a warm, groovy dance pop summer anthem that hits all the right spots. Clocking in at a perfect radio-friendly length, the track features catchy vocals from Antwerp-based singer Laud and production that feels instantly uplifting. What really stands out is the clever interpretation of Paradisio’s classic “Bailando” woven into the fabric of the song. That 90s Eurodance staple still carries summer nostalgia for so many of us, and Nina Black gives it a fresh, modern twist without losing the playful, dance-floor magic.
The production shines with infectious grooves that make you want to move. It’s the kind of dance pop track that works equally well at a festival mainstage, in a sunny car ride, or during a late-night club session. The feel-good energy is undeniable—you can hear the years of studio refinement and stage experience poured into every element. As someone who has spent countless hours behind the decks, Nina clearly understands what makes a track connect with people, and she brings that knowledge straight into her debut.
Right now, dance pop is thriving in 2026. Summer playlists are packed with club hits that blend nostalgic influences with fresh production, and tracks like this fit perfectly into the conversation. Belgian dance music continues to export its vibrant sound across Europe and beyond, and artists like Nina Black are leading the charge. Her journey from passionate dancer (with roots in hip hop, ballet, and latin) to radio DJ and now recording artist feels like a natural progression. You can sense her love for movement and melody in every second of “I Don’t Know.”
If you haven’t pressed play yet, do yourself a favor and check it out on Spotify, YouTube, or Apple Music. The link is right there—give the track a spin and let that warm groove wash over you. It’s the kind of song that sneaks up and becomes your new summer favorite before you even realize it. You might find yourself hitting repeat and wondering why it took so long for Nina to release her own music.
Moments like this remind us why we love independent artists taking the leap. Transitioning from DJ to original producer isn’t easy, but when it’s done with this much heart and groove, the result speaks for itself. Nina Black has clearly been honing her craft, and “I Don’t Know” feels like the perfect introduction to what’s coming next.
