From minimal to trance, techno to psychedelic, Tech Aid’s range reflects not only an appreciation of EDM’s many genres but more importantly his daredevil approach to playing.An unceasing underdog unafraid of pushing boundaries, or flat out breaching them, Tech Aid started off his career doing the opposite of what he’s expected to do. While most local DJs were preoccupied on the house and hip-hop scene, he set his sights higher and further than the norm. He has been instrumental in the psychedelic movement of his country; having opened and closed for the first Lunar event in Bahrain which helped usher in a new era of psychedelic to the little island, now hosting infamous psychedelic acts such as Protoculture. In Melbourne, Tech Aid established a name for him-self through a circuit of infamous house parties playing 5 to even 15 hour sets, starting off with some minimal tech building up to hard-driving full on psy trance. What truly sets him apart, however, is his transformation of regular sets into dynamic performances. Equipped with bewitching tunes and boundless energy, Tech Aid refuses to confine himself behind the decks, preferring to interact consistently with the crowd with a skilful approach to audio effect wizardry. Tech Aid’s notoriety led him to play alongside every living Psy trance and techno producer/DJ, In Australia, Turkey, and Bahrain. Nawaf Al Alawi is now a recognised, instant local favourite amongst Melbourne’s psy-trance and progressive crowd. This has lead him to keynote main stage performances at 2011/2012 Strawberry Fields and Yellow Sunshine Festival, The Saint Kilda Festival, countless club gigs, Opening for the Tree Of Life Australia and his international debut at the Tree Of Life Turkey. He now runs events under Planet DoofTune and focuses on producing Electronic Music alongside Freaky Frequency under Sensory Overload.
