His first residency as a DJ was at the Ministry of Sound in Birmingham. Initially associated with the Asian Underground movement, then drum & bass, he is now a proponent of alternative and electronic music and curates festivals, radio shows, club nights and soundtracks.[according to whom?]

Early life edit

Nerm's passion for music and mixing started at the age of 10 whilst playing around with some D90 cassette tapes. Nerm made first "mixes" at a very young age using cut up cassette tapes edited together. At the age of 16, he transitioned from cassette to vinyl and started DJing.[citation needed]

Early career edit

Nerm gained press and TV attention in 2000[according to whom?] as the dancer in the electro-punk band Charged, signed to Nation Records. Around the same time he became the headline DJ at London's underground clubnight, Swaraj.[citation needed]

Swaraj was the platform on which Nerm pioneered Shiva Soundsystem, by amalgamating the live energy of a band with the dance floor by integrating musicians in his sets. Shiva Soundsystem began as a group, which then progressed into an extensive association of musicians, producers and DJs whose headquarters was a large warehouse space in Hackney, East London. Shiva Soundsystem helped introduce new, acts from across the world to clubbing audiences in London.[according to whom?]

Breakthrough edit

Nerm, alongside Shiva Soundsystem, curated events, first running parties at their warehouse HQ with international guest performers, then, more legitimately, playing weekend residencies in East London's underground night clubs.[citation needed] Herbal in Shoreditch and Vibe Bar in Brick Lane were two such residencies which featured guests such as Aphex Twin, Commix, Andrew Weatherall, Logistics, Colin Dale, Moving Fusion and Sub Swara.[citation needed] New live bands and offshoot live projects of other acts also featured including Aziz, Ian Brown's guitarist and co-writer of his debut solo album.[citation needed]

Shiva Soundsystem toured India and played Glastonbury every year from 2002.[citation needed]

In 2005 Shiva Soundsystem became a record label to release production from the collective and other associated artists. The first drum & bass/bass mix album fashioned for India, titled India:One was mixed and released by Nerm.[2] Shiva Soundsystem's releases obtained support from Pete Tong, Pendulum and Laurent Garnier.[citation needed]

Media edit

In tandem with Shiva Soundsystem came invitations for Nerm to host and share his passion for underground music with interest from TV and radio channels including E! Channel (Venezuela), Radio 1[3][failed verification] MTV India and BBC 2 which led to Nerm's progression as a broadcaster, at first on the BBC Asian Network radio station with his weekly show Electro East.[4][failed verification][original research?]

Electro East represented a wide spectrum of underground music from across the world[5] with artists at the beginning of their ascents to stars as guests including Chase and Status, Noisia, Benga and Brookes Brothers and more specialist artists enduser, V.I.V.E.K (Deep Medi) and Amit (Commercial Suicide)

In 2008, with label-mate D-Code, Nerm embarked on a two-year run on BBC Radio 1 featuring a range of underground music.[citation needed] Guests included a series of "vs" DJ battles:[6][failed verification]

Nerm & D-Code also stood in for Mary Anne Hobbs,[7][failed verification] Ras Kwame and for 1Xtra's Drum & Bass Mix Show and presented alongside Annie Mac and Zane Lowe.

In 2010, Nerm presented his final shows on BBC Radio 1 and BBC Asian Network.[citation needed]

In 2011, Nerm began to host on BBC 6Music primarily presenting the 6Mix[8][failed verification] alongside fellow residents Groove Armada, Erol Alkan, Andrew Weatherall, Tiga & Ben Watt and guests DJ Shadow and Thom Yorke.[citation needed]

He has also stood in for Gilles Peterson.[9]

Nerm continues to DJ with appearances at major[weasel words] festivals including Bestival,[10] with Riz Ahmed aka Riz MC,[11] Foreign Beggars[citation needed] and with Shiva Soundsystem.[12]

Film edit

In 2010, Nerm acted as consultant, remixer and supervisor on the music for Everywhere and Nowhere from Kidulthood director Menhaj Huda.[citation needed] He has since become more involved in film with work on soundtracks, marketing and a few cameo appearances.
