To close out 2021, Nair toured Europe on an eight show run in tandem with Scuffed Recordings. Building off that momentum, he kicked off 2022 by being selected to Beatport Next’s program - an achievement only eight global artists are able to boast. In conjunction with the Beatport Next announcement, Nair unveiled his cutting edge new label entitled n goes to infinity. With the name taking inspiration from his background in mathematics and physics, the label was created to showcase music that sits in between experimental bass and rave oriented subgenres. Nair intends for these label releases to strike a perfect balance between both experimental sound ideas and serious dance floor functionality. The label will be used to take this combination as far as it goes…to infinity. 

8 months into 2022, Nair is well on his way towards his most successful year since the project’s inception.  Further bolstering his resume, Nair landed a spot on the Rinse FM airwaves as a monthly resident where he seeks to further engrain his well-rounded artistry in fan’s eyes through being not only a great producer, but also a stellar DJ. Continuing his path to prominence, Nair kicked off Summer of 2022 by taking home the award for DJ Mag’s breakthrough North American producer in the award series’ inaugural year. His busy Summer continued with Boiler Room performances in India and at Bass Coast Festival in British Columbia and made his rounds on the North American festival circuit, performing at Dirtybird CampINN, Infrasound, Sonic Bloom, Bass Coast and Shambhala. Nair will close out the year embarking on his first worldwide tour in which he is slated to play 14 different countries across 4 different continents. Despite the project’s continued success, Nair has remained true to his core vision as a musician: releasing and playing the music he loves. As 2022 nears its closing point, Nair has already set his sights on achieving the project’s next big milestone: infinity.
