DJ Nav

Washington DC based 2-Step and 4x4 UK Garage DJ

DJ Nav has been bringing the vibe since he first touched the fader in his high school days. Back then, house parties were the name of the game and Nav was unrelenting in providing the groove for the people. Privately dedicated to house music in his early years, Nav was also known for rocking outdoor events and dances with that steady 4x4 beat. Throughout these years many genres of music infiltrated his psyche, from Hip-Hop / RnB through to Trance and Hard-House. An eclectic personal musical taste influenced his sets but it was that nagging tug from the syncopated beats of 2-Step and 4x4 UK Garage that forced DJ Nav in the direction he is taking today.

A mixture of vibes, both feel-good as well as dark fit into Navs repertoire due to producers such as MJ Cole, Tuff Jam, Booker T, Groove Chronicles and Steve Gurley having a profound impact on his Garage tastes. Thanks to DJ Nav's background in house parties, his sets have that good-vybe, positive atmosphere where people can experience the varied sounds that actually make up UK Garage and are encouraged to feel, the swing, the groove and the bass and join in the dance. DJ Nav plans to bring 2-Step and 4x4 Underground Garage to a higher level of exposure in the Washington, DC area and with his residency at Synesthesia on Friday nights and the desire to bring back the real Garage groove with his productions, DC could finally be getting a healthy dose of Garage that has been missing for far too long.
