Hailing from the Netherlands, building a relationship with music through an array of equipment where he developed the hallmark of his analogue/digital sound.
Never one to stick to a particular stylistic blueprint, Navar effortlessly melds elements of minimal, techno, progressive and electronica. He has continually impressed since a debut on Klopfgeist imprint in 2010, building a highly impressive discography of productions for Lost & Found, microCastle, Replug, Balance Music, Sound Avenue, Proton, Higher States and more. His music routinely earns the praise of Hernan Cattaneo, Guy J, Guy Mantzur, Sasha, Henry Saiz and a host of other respected industry figures.

Electronic music luminaries Guy J, Hernan Cattaneo, Chaim, 16 Bit Lolitas, Boris Werner and YokoO chose to remix the Dutch artist's creations, all of which received critical and commercial acclaim. Always looking to further his creative avenues, Navar collaborates with like minded musicians when the synergy is right. Being locked away in the studio in the early days, have led him to heights that he never could have imagined at the time. Navar set out to carve his own unique path in the world of electronic music.
Inspiration for the Dutch artist comes from many facets and moments in life, as he describes “The inspiration comes from the escape I create when I make music. Every project is a new journey and doors to different sonic avenues open with each one. I step away from reality and enter a world of imagination, surrealism and (yet to discover) forgotten dreams". 
It's no accident that Navar's contemporaries remark on the soulful qualities in his music. His inner feelings have helped create a uniquely deep and recognizable sound, as he states “My music is a reflection of my feelings, it comes from a genuine place that I want people to connect with. I feel comfortable expressing myself through music”. Navar's emotive creations have already cast lasting memories for electronic music fans across the globe. As he goes forward in his journey through sound his passion continues to grow and there's no telling how far his creative talents will reach.

BIO 

Nicola Paesani is Niff - a Barcelona-based artist and label owner who cut his teeth as a DJ during a golden era on the Riviera Romagnola.

Active for some 15 years now - it was the soundtrack of his family home growing up in Teramo (Abruzzo) that first warmed his ears to the sounds of music. Brother to a master pianist and son of a theatre director, he was never too far from his mother’s love for Italian crooners like Lucio Battisti or Francesco De Gregori either. Art heavily influenced his youth.  

Nicola would rather steer his own tastes towards ’90s rap and American hip hop, before finding a permanent groove in house music and its diverse sub-genres - owing much of this discovery to local radio and its openness towards underground sounds. In the early 2000s, Niff would experience clubs like Echoes and Cocoricò Titilla for the first time, witnessing influential DJs from the US and local selectors playing their trade to influential effect.  

Making a name for himself with a distinctive soundtrack of progressive house and electro styles, Niff would later become a resident DJ at Zu::Bar in Pescara and later Pragmatism in Naples. A founding member in the launch and success of Seekers - a record label and international network - He would begin to tour Europe and the UK extensively, taking in sets at Fabric on Sundays  - while becoming a visible component at waterside venues Club der Visionäre and Hoppetosse. 

Spending a brief period living in London, working at Dalston’s Koncept Store, Niff would move to Berlin permanently in 2018, galvanising his musical bond and kinship with DJ Tree, while on occasion working at Libertine Records Shop in Kreuzberg. With a full repertoire now at his disposal, Niff’s sound encapsulates a deeper and contemporary blend of techno, wave, new beat and trance to synth pop and EBM - while also taking in downtempo, ambient and beatless styles too. 

Niff today is an arbiter of good taste for boutique shows further afield in Europe and to the Americas. Drawing ultimate inspiration from the sunrise sets of his native Adriatic coast, and a personal evolution in Berlin, He created Fuori Orario in 2022 - a nonconformist, multidisciplinary platform translating to ‘After Hours’. 

Conceived from a profound connection to his Italian roots but also an unwavering commitment to fostering and promoting emerging talent. The project, encompassing a record label, mix series and emerging roster of international showcases, stands as a testament to Niff's dedication, vision and savour: past and present.

Listen to 'The Party is Over' radio - curated by the Keinemusik crue - on Spotify. Updated weekly: goo.gl/MbTbcY

When one could assume, &ME entered the House and Techno world somewhat out of the blue, it is due to his sublime modesty that’s already captured in his alias. His way to become one of today’s most praised and sought after DJ/producers is based on a solid foundation. A foundation comprised of solo-releases, remixes, projects and collaborations that numerous, we’d rather refer to his discography than weary you with namedropping. Besides, all those references would just distract from what truly matters – the music this guy is delivering. Not to underestimate the importance of a project such as Terranova for &ME’s current path, but still the alignment has been made – to focus consistently on his solo-work. And it shows.

There are not many artists around turning in such a slew of globally praised floormaterial like &ME did over the last years. Just think of his last offerings on Keinemusik, a collective of Berlin based DJs and producers, including Rampa, Adam Port, Reznik & artist Monja Gentschow, he helped founding in 2009, namely “After Dark” and “Woods” or his “Vermillion”-remix for Damian Lazarus – all serious bangers, played by every renowned DJ worldwide. Everything is falling into place for the fella. His DIY-approach to handle things, his easy going attitude, his reputation as a gifted producer and DJ extraordinaire, his ability to link innovative production with consensual reception, making him one of the most unique and original figures in the game.
