i-D with
JOSH M, NARO (INDONESIA)
Anthems / Floorfillers / Remixes

This very special night stakes its claim as it takes you away from dance music that seems to get way too elitist, and brings to you something closer to heart, with Guest act – DJ Naro & veteran resident – DJ Josh M. Here, a hand-picked selection of proverbial dance anthems & great, familiar tunes (wickedly remixed by some of the world’s most credible and best DJs and producers), flood the dancefloor.

DJ Naro is one of the reasons why Jakarta has become a stop-off for many DJs on the international circuit, having helped to establish its underground House scene way back in the early nineties, beginning with his residency at B1 - Jakarta's first ever underground House club. Rooted in his long standing love affair with Dirty Dub sound and characterised by mid-set house, bouncy rhythms, techy elements and a grooving bass line, DJ Naro aims to put magic and a spiritual energy into each of his DJ sets.

Having played at almost every major international event in Jakarta, he has shared the decks with DJs and artists like Danny Howells, Junkie XL, Sander Kleinenberg, Lee Burridge, Armin Van Buuren, Roger Sanchez , Tall Paul , Gabriel&Dresden , Smokin Jo, Mark Knight, Nick K, D Ramirez, just to name a few.

Naro was also the guest DJ for the Ultimate Gate Crasher Jakarta tour in 2002 with Ashley Casselle and Nick Riley with a turnout of 10,000 and it was set a first record for the Jakarta outdoor dance scene. He was also invited to play at GodsKitchen Festival Jakarta 2003, Cream Festival Jakarta 2004&2005, Cast Away Bali 2004&2005, Jakarta Movement 2003&2005 and Two Tribes 2005, Hed Kandi Party & Tokyo Disco 2006.

A night of only great tunes and great sounds by this dream duo, because on this night, you i-Dentify.
