Interview:

Today we have the opportunity to interview a great Up&Coming Dj/Producer, He is an artist with a unique style of Deep and will reach out to your more creative side. We of coarse are talking about Up&Coming Artist NAVE and we caught up with him earlier this week to do a little Q & A with him.

So NAVE how did you start Mixing and what made you decide to start this difficult but rewarding journey?
January ’10 is when I somehow found my way to the Woods, Joint Nation was hosting Emerson Todd that evening. Underage and clueless as to what I was hearing/experiencing, it was something I felt needed to be a part of indefinitely and ever since its been my art of choice.

As Far as Influences go, who would you say is your biggest influence and what them such a big impact in you artistic career?
I'd say Moby, He's production is incredible and I've yet so hear anything like it, I listened to Moby loads during my younger years and now it's a part of me and my craft.

Where did you learn how to mix and on what format did you learn on?
I learnt to play on what ever cdj I could get my hands on , There was never a certain place just a certain love.
 
Style of play is one of the biggest things that help you stand out now days, Its not just about playing to the crowd anymore, it’s more about finding your own path and finding your own followers so what is your style of play and tell us a bit about it.
Hmm, I've always enjoyed the more percussive drums heard in tech house, So a bit of that and dub influenced synths....You'll understand after listening to the mix.

Having a plan for the future is sometimes key in an artist career so where do you see yourself in the next year or so?
I'd like to give my production game some more flavor and play a few of the cool event's we have locally.

Bbp - Up&Coming - Sanetra - Summertime Sadness

Biography:

From the age of 8, Kaelem Fakier had his mind set on being a Dj.

With a cultured musical upbringing and great influence from his father, once the managing editor at Rolling Stone magazine, one could say it was an inevitable progression that he would one day grace the ones and twos & hone all of his musical experience & talents into dj sets. After returning from the grimey streets of London, where he lived for several years in his youth, the time came for the start of a new chapter: one of learning, growing, grafting, conceptualizing & eventually realizing a dream come true.

While searching for a sound to call his own in the vast nebula that is Electronic Dance Music, he stumbled upon a little place in Long Street, Cape Town called Deluxe. Having been mostly exposed to early Trance, Techno, Ambient and Electro sounds; the marriage of music, vibrations, energy and emotion that Deluxe delivered was simply mind-blowing. One fortuitous night, whilst staring in awe at a back to back set by Roy Block & Clint Hill in 2006, he fell in love with the rich, immersive tones of Deep House.

His residency at 'The Home of House' would later define his sound as an "eclectic blend of euphoric, bassy, Chicago House music,” & he would later refer back to the influences he encountered in London to blend a barrage of Deep House, Garage and Bass Music into a head-jerking, knee wobbling, genre defying rendition of the tried and tested 'four to the floor' format.

Slowly but surely, the name 'Terrasoul' began to circulate around Cape Town. He featured as one of the 'Artists To Watch in 2014' by dontparty.co.za & in recent times has played at big events such as Cold Turkey, Clubber's Campout, Gather, Leggo, Drop the Lime at The Assembly, Jullian Gomes at Casa Blanca and LoveAll, as well as the premier electronic music festival in Cape Town, CTEMF.

Being able to hold his own on a stage that hosted Trancemicsoul, Shimza, Jullian Gomes & Culoe de Song, HVOB, Black Coffee as well as one of the greatest innovators in Deep House Music, DIXON; Terrasoul's acute attention to detail & ability to complement any crowd was made evident & he was subsequently invited to play at the top of the Hyde Park Southern Sun and at The Great Dane in Johannesburg in April 2014.

To accompany the trail that he has been blazing in throughout from his career as a DJ, he is also co-founder of Khoi-Soul: a thriving Cape based production and Events Company. Khoi-Soul has been the work force behind a substantial handful of local artist’s careers, namely Boolz, Patty Monroe, Ras Alghul, Jayson Jupiter & The Five Fold Ministry as well as underground Hip-Hop Legend, Garlic Brown. Terrasoul singlehandedly recorded, mixed & mastered Garlic Brown's most recent EP, 'Forward The Sword' as well as Boolz’s 'S.O.S' EP & has since played a vital role in Patty Monroe and Tray-V’s upcoming EPs in 2014.

With the world at his hands & a tune in his ear, Terrasoul is a man with one eye on the decks & the other firmly rooted in the direction of the future.

Biography:

“Purveyor of deep, infectious house grooves and a feel-good atmosphere.”

This is how Donovan/4myDAMNself describes himself as a DJ/Producer. Never too afraid to go too deep, musical selections ae his own therapy. Having grown up on a combination of funk, soul and rnb, all of these influences infused with a love for hip hop and UK garage. Donovan ended up with a very mixed spectrum of musical influences, all these translate into sets with beautiful synth work chunky bass lines, ethereal backdrops and the occasional vocal hook.
Though he loves playing in nightclubs and special events his love for music goes beyond the spectrum of mixing songs together, as a producer he has found an additional outlet to express himself musically.
“For me, it’s all about mood and a deep, hypnotic groove… playing those tracks that get you tapping your feet and nodding your head without you realizing it, regardless of genre, tempo, style, or release date. “

Biography:

Some of you may be wondering who is RoBa… Well I don’t know if I can call myself a dj or consider myself as one, I’m just a gent with a colossal passion for the kraft. You can say I’m somewhat of new a kid to the scene, but old at the same time. 

Through a few years of self-taught hours on the decks and some guidance from the founders of the Delectable Sundaez movement, I’ve realised that music evokes emotion through rhythms, drums, strings and vocals. It’s a universal language, shared by deep, spiritual people. It lifts me up when I’m down, enhances my creativity, love and passion. 

It’s all about creating a euphoria that gathers people together by generating shared moods, understanding the feelings of the people and directing them to a better place.
