Nam

One of the Operative’s founding members and Australia’s most diverse selectors NAM has made a name for himself at the forefront of Melbourne’s musical landscape with his signature mixing style and contagious energy behind the decks. From his start as a drum ‘n bass regular, a natural evolution in taste and an eclectic record collection has seen him broaden his DJ performances. Now spanning the distinctive contemporary music scenes from late-night bass and early-morning electronica, to dance floor-filling hip-hop and house, each set becoming a glimmering work of art that blends both local and international as well as almost unheard of tracks, his style has assured that NAM hasn’t remained the Operative’s secret weapon for long. 

Sort after for festivals as well as club sets, NAM has performed at a variety of events from the premiere of ground-breaking electronic festival Let Them Eat Cake in 2013, to the Red Bull stage at Good Vibrations Music Festival, Summadayze, Stereosonic and Shine On, he has also become a regular fixture at Rainbow Serpent Festival, playing every year since 2009. NAM has also featured at Melbourne Music Weeks’ key events; KUBIK Melbourne in 2011, Where?House in 2012 and The Residence in 2013 as well as regular support slots for Espionage gigs, from HUDSON MOWHAWK to DJ MARKY to MJ COLE to TOKIMONSTA to FLYING LOTUS to ALOE BLACC.
