DJ NARO
Naro is one of the reasons why Jakarta has become a stop-off for many DJs in the international circuit. He has helped establish Jakarta’s very own underground house music scene, way back in the early 90s. Formerly a resident of B1, Jakarta’s first underground house club, Naro loves Progressive House sounds, and over the years he has built a characteristical midset house, bouncing rhythms, Unique elements and grooving bass lines.
Naro wants all clubbers to melt into the journey he creates with his sets, and at the same time appreciating his music. His endless passion for music led him to organize numerous big parties in clubs around Indonesia, providing a Progressive house music education for people throughout the archipelago.
Naro has already seen himself parading next to names such as Danny Howells, Junkie XL, Sander Kleinenberg, Lee Burridge, Armin van Buuren, Roger Sanchez, Tall Paul, Gabriel & Dresden, Matthew Dekay, Smokin’ Jo, Mark Knight, Remy, DJ Pippi, Nick K, D.
