Behind every sublime, life-elevating night out and every soul-kissing party, is a deejay who’s savvy and soulful enough to bring you the kind of euphoria that makes you smile years, and even decades after an event. In Singapore, and in the ever-growing niche that is new-school hip-hop, there’s Prav and.WAV(Y). The club night he co-founded isn’t just a good time; it’s a site of spiritual submission to the voices and beats leading culture into its latest and boldest frontiers. A tastemaker and torchbearer, 28-year-old Prav (whose real name is Pravin Naidu) weathered the Covid-19 storm and is poised to make a comeback where the bars and beats resound even more powerfully. Getting lit just got a whole lot better.
How do you feel about the return of.WAV(Y)?
