MTV Online says: "In a music scene quick to throw around the title of 'DJ' to anyone who simply masters the fader, it is refreshing to see someone take two records, break the songs down, and patch them back together into a tapestry of luscious grooves and head-noddin' rhythms. Hopefully, more will be heard from Navdeep in the DJ-ing community soon.
And currently there is a lot being heard from Navdeep. And for good reason. Creating a true hybrid of genres, the 25-year-old visionary brings raw passion to the decks, turning crowds on continuously with a stylish melange that slides from South Asian sonics and his native Bhangra rhythms to hard-hitting DnB, pounding hip-hop cuts and fragments of furious rock. Fusing together DJ Cam’s refined mixing with DJ Craze’s ecstatic live shows, the Punjabi Indian DJ never makes it easy to categorize himself or his sound. The panel Navdeep headed up at the 2001 CMJ Music Marathon with Ming & FS and Rob Swift of the X-ecutioners dubbed it best: “Innovations In Sound.” Always evolving, always bringing the hottest beats no matter the genre, Navdeep is one of the scene’s most innovative talents.
Couple that innovation with Navdeep’s intense studies of jazz and tabla drumming since the age of ten and you have one of the most distinctive approaches to turntablism in the game today. To see Navdeep spin is to witness a soul-moving performance. Layering his own self-produced tracks, unique remixes and live drumming over his sets, Navdeep is the sound of the brave new world-innovative, multi-ethnic, and all the way live."
Voted Best DJ in New York by New York Press magazine
