We don’t know heaps about NAVA, but we do know we’re into this tune.

Born in Milan, Italy, but with a multitude of global influences, electro/world music outfit NAVA is something of an enigmatic entity. Started in 2016 when vocalist and songwriter Nava Golchini and producer Francesco Fugazza connected, their music incorporates crisp electronic beats and instrumentation with worldly rhythms and percussion, culminating in a refreshing take on dance music.

Their latest single ‘Ritual’ is an intoxicating ride that feels more like an exercise in experimentation than your traditional dance floor filler. “Ritual is tribal, it portrays NAVA’s animalistic raw soul, letting loose in the urban jungle it’s trapped in. The percussions bang and rattle whilst the melody slithers through them, like a predator mesmerizing its prey. It’s an industrial piece, a modern tune but influenced by Farzaneh Kaboli’s Persian visceral dance,” the group says.
