Groovegod Jaïr Darnoud Bio
Jaïr Darnoud, also known as Groovegod, was born in 1998 in Amsterdam South-East, known as Bijlmer. This culturally rich neighborhood exposed him to a diverse array of music from an early age. One of his earliest musical memories involves the turntable of his childhood friend, which ignited his passion for music. This early experience led Jaïr to a lifelong journey in exploring and creating music, culminating in his unique invention of Alt-groove, a style characterized by its distinctive rhythm not based on the traditional downbeat.
Jaïr's musical education is a blend of self-taught skills and formal training. Initially learning through "YouTube Academy" and personal experimentation with a dj mixer and some midi controller, he later took courses with DJ Abstract and Evander de Koning. At 22, Jaïr further honed his craft at the Electronic Conservatory of Amsterdam, graduating with honors. His innovative approach to music, particularly through the concept of Negative Syncopation, has set him apart in the electronic music scene, allowing him to create rhythms that challenge conventional structures.
Rooted in his multicultural heritage and influenced by a broad spectrum of global music, Jaïr's work is a testament to his diverse background. Growing up in Amsterdam, he was continuously influenced by the rhythms and stories around him. This, combined with his formal education and unique perspective on rhythm, has led to the development of his distinctive Alt-groove style. Jaïr continues to share his musical journey through performances, his involvement in the electronic rap group RensJairenOmeUncle, and his ongoing exploration of music's many colours and rhythms.
