 [Yoshitoshi,
M-Theory, Proton Radio, Toes in the Sand]
Naveen G, aka Samsara, has emerged
as a promising producer and DJ whose hallmark
of diversity shines through in both his
varied productions and eclectic DJ sets.
This versatility is the product of such
polar musical interests that range from
his exposure to the early 90’s industrial
and rave scenes in New York, followed by
a move to Chicago where he became involved
with the electronic music pioneers at WNUR
89.7 and developed an appreciation for the
roots of house music. Being surrounded by
the full spectrum of dance music through
the radio DJs there and having played everything
from drum-and-bass to minimal techno, Naveen
G has never been content to stick to one
musical style.
After he began DJing in 1998, Naveen quickly
rose through the ranks in the club scene,
earning rotating slots at such Chicago hotspots
as Spundae, Smartbar, Zentra, and House
of Blues. His eagerness to play many styles
of music has allowed him to open and play
alongside such greats DJs as Chris Fortier,
Low End Specialists, Sandra Collins, Behrouz,
and Hector Romero. Having recently played
completed a tour of Southeast Asia, Naveen
G’s mixture of minimal tech-house,
breaks, and progressive has garnered the
respect of his peers and beyond. He now
holds one of the longest-running shows on
the esteemed Proton
Radio online radio station (Darker Shades,
1st Thursday of every month, 5-7pm EST).
However, Naveen G remains perhaps best known
for the subtle dancefloor workings that
he carves out in the studio. From his first
releases as Samsara on the world-renown
Yoshitoshi label (run by Grammy-award winners
Deep Dish), Naveen shot straight to the
tracklist of the prestigious Global Underground
series on Satoshi Tomiie’s Nubreed
CD. From there, his subsequent work on such
labels as Chug, M-theory, and Toes in the
Sand have found favor with some of the most
cutting-edge and forward-thinking DJs around.
With plays from Sasha, Nick Warren, Low
End Specialists, Steve Gerrard, Moshic,
and Jonathan Lisle, Naveen G has found favor
with fans of tribal, progressive, breaks,
and house. With future releases continuing
to push his musical borders, Naveen G is
never content with being confined to boundaries
of musical genres.
