Namito

Namito is a humble success story.

The artist went through a lot in his youth, witnessing his Iranian homeland torn apart by a revolution and war. Evacuated to Germany as a young teenager, he then proceeded to watch the tumultuous end to the Soviet Union unfold right before his eyes.

Part 1 of his ground breaking autobiographical album series ‘Letting Go’, released in December 2018 plots his beautiful tale of triumph against adversity, in coming to terms with a new way of life and discovering his purpose.

Namito found music when fleeing his adopted family, to join the Osho cult, where he lived in a commune and learned to DJ at its on-site disco.

After the fall of the Berlin Wall, his skills in the booth were rewarded with a residency at legendary techno institution ‘Tresor’. Later scoring a string of other high profile residencies, Namtio went on to tour the world, releasing a number of full-length albums, collaborating with some of the world’s best producers, whilst also notching up releases on electronic music's most elite imprints like ‘Kompakt’, ‘Systematic Recordings’ and ‘Kling Klong’.

Namito’s legendary skills in the studio has seen him earn a reputation as one of Berlin’s most respected mix engineers and producers, "someone the 'A list’ call on when it’s time to add the icing to the cake”. – DJ Mag, Dec 2018.

His long ascendance to relevancy was finally confirmed, when ‘Letting Go’, hit the number one spot on Beatport, towards the end of 2018. The lead single, a collaboration with Ruede Hagelstein, was widely regarded as one of last year’s best tracks, with Joris Voorn, Guy J, Adriatique, and Bebetta, all featuring it in their charts.

Namito continues to go from strength-to-strength, with his latest deep, tribal production, paying tribute to Persian tradition, ‘Stone Flower’, hitting number 1 on Beatport, just two days following its release.

With part 2 of his autobiographical album waiting in the wings this summer, plus big releases to come on the legendary Australian imprint ‘Balance’, and on Behrouz’s ‘Do Not Sit On The Furniture’ imprint, his fairytale rise to the top, could finally look set to become a reality.
