Live recording from Output, Brooklyn USA on December 29, 2015.  Opening duties for John Digweed.  

**Tracklisting link above**

There's a number of different approaches that i find effective when it comes to opening sets and my previous sets with Digweed have been more of maintaining a slow simmer in the crowd and having a push/pull feel with the energy of the room.  I've always planned in a few longer stretches of ambience or musical interludes to provide contrast and to explore musical side routes that you don't get to hear in a typical set.

This set is none of that.  Fully expecting a weeknight crowd to be amped and ready to go just two days before New Years, i gathered my chug-a-thon tracks (yes, thats my mp3 description), edited out most of the breakdowns, and tried to keep the music on an ever upwards climb without ever boiling over.   And the Xone DB4, while it may have its own sound quality issues, is a beast of a creative tool.  I can see why Digweed uses it, as it forces me to pull mine out of its case, and get deep into it.  

Enjoy this mix and my other projects to come in 2016!

Naveen G - Live at Output with John Digweed [December 2015]

I was at first hesitant to post this recording, for fear of being too singular in my recent set postings, but i changed my mind as i think it represents a good closure of the events of the past few months.  This set from Output was a far different affair than the last few, having returned to a slow methodical pace, in order to let John fully explore over his subsequent 5 hour set(!).   Opening dj sets are odd things that can be plodding and boring on one extreme and too much, too soon on the other extreme.  Toeing the fine line of maintaining tension takes lots of preparation, digging for those odd musical gems and most of all, restraint in front of a crowd that is almost always looking for something with more energy than what you're playing.  While often called a thankless job, I think as the headliner DJs return to playing longer sets, the effects will become more tangible or hopefully appreciated by all (and not just the old heads).  This has all been hashed out before so i refer back to the classic RA article from years back, in case anyone has missed it (https://www.residentadvisor.net/features/1095).

I've learned a lot from playing and conversing with Diggers the last few times as well as contributing my episode of Transitions and now its time to move on to other little projects.  Until the next time he rolls through town, that is.  Utmost respect for the man, he's smashed it every time i've seen him the last few months.  And we can only hope he airs some of the Output set on Transitions in the next few months as he was in top form.

Sasha@Womb Tokyo-2011 PT1

WaxdaJam Ibiza 29.7.19

Recording from The Sanctuary at The Cityfox Odyssey New Years Eve, December 31, 2019.  This one leans towards the cosmic space exploration vibe to fit the theme of the party (and since i've been listening to Max Richter/Lorne Balfe's soundtrack to Ad Astra quite a bit).

Naveen G - Live At The Cityfox Odyssey NYE [December 2019]

Residencies: Cityfox Experience, Listed Productions

Bookings: Gunita Nagpaul - gunita@listedbookings.com

Naveen G is no newcomer to the scene having made his start in 1996 hosting his own show on the influential WNUR 89.3FM Streetbeat Radio that launched the careers of many of his peers originating in Chicago.  Having caught the attention of world class DJs with his very first productions which were licensed to the seminal Global Underground series, Naveen G has fostered his own sound, one that is consistently hailed as exploring the late night side of the dancefloor, straying far from the conventional formula, yet still garnering acclaim from DJs and clubbers alike.
 
From breaks to techno and everything in between, or manning the ambient room for many hours, Naveen G's productions reflect his DJing ability to adapt to the room and the headliner, drawing on his diverse range.  Equally comfortable warming up a room properly as a resident for Cityfox NYC or playing on his own deep into the night, Naveen has brought his unique and varied style to the unsuspecting dancefloors across the world from South America to Asia, where they have learned to expect the unexpected.  His breadth of knowledge about dance music from years of digging lends to his role as A&R for Manjumasi Records alongside Atish and Mark Slee.  With support for his productions from Sasha, John Digweed, Satoshi Tomiie,  Hernan Cattaneo and others, as well as gigs at beachside bars to international festivals such as ADE, BPM, and WMC, alongside a wide range of DJs such as Tale of Us, Adriatique, Mano Le Tough,  Cassy, and Danny Howells, Naveen G continues to gain new followers across the board.
