Newa: Performing Artist in New York

About Newa

Newa is a DJ heard in New York City at BASEMENT, where their sets sit comfortably inside the club’s darker, percussive continuum. They’ve shared bills with Kancheli, 98dots, Lydo, DJ Minx, Jason Kendig, and Kilopatrah Jones, including the Bassiani Night lineup that brought those names together. Online, their listener base points toward an interest in Ethiopian jazz alongside club music, an influence that surfaces more in phrasing and rhythm than in quotation. Their performances favor structure and momentum over spectacle.
