Navar

Navar (or Eelko Wijnja to his family and friends) can be best described as a real studio junkie. Since he first delved into the mysteries of music production at the tender age of 13, this youngster from Friesland in the north of Holland has quietly been learning his future trade. His prodigious talents have been spotted early by Guy J, who has been quick to sign up a selection of stunning tracks to his forward-thinking Lost & Found imprint that should put Navar firmly on everyone’s radar. His debut for the label, “Le Paradigme” (LF008) in the summer of 2013, was a very exciting first glimpse of an exceptional artist. Navar is one of the modern new-breed of producers who is inspired by a broad range of different genres, and this is reflected in his diverse musical creations that are often summarized as being deep, melodic and definitely danceable. His productions have already won praise from the likes of Hernan Cattaneo, Laurent Garnier, Henry Saiz, Above & Beyond, Guy Mantzur, Wehbba, Eelke Kleijn, Marco Bailey, Nick Warren, Charlie May, and a host of other respected industry figures with their fingers firmly on the pulse of the future. Navar has already started building a highly impressive discography of productions and remixes, not only on Lost & Found, but also on Outside The Box Music, Klopfgeist, Sound Avenue, Body Condition, Baires Records and Moral Fiber, with many more to come. He is rounding off a highly creative year with the release of his debut Mini-LP (“Found01”) on Lost & Found, a project that reveals more than before about his ability to create totally enthralling music. Since Navar is only just beginning his musical journey and he has so much creative talent, the future of electronic music could get very exciting indeed.
