their own biography
the whole biography
Arapu is a Romanian DJ and producer known for his deep, groove-driven approach to house and his strong connection to the European underground scene. Born in Romania, he began DJing at the age of 15 and developed a style rooted in long blends, hypnotic basslines, and subtle rhythmic tension. Active internationally since the early 2010s, Arapu has built a reputation for carefully constructed, narrative-driven sets that prioritize flow and dancefloor awareness over quick impact. His productions reflect the same philosophy, combining minimal arrangements with rolling low-end and tightly controlled groove. In 2015, he launched his own label, Liniar, as an outlet for his personal sound and a curated platform for like-minded artists. Arapu has performed at some of the world's most respected clubs and festivals, including Circoloco events worldwide, Sunwaves Festival, and Caprices Festival and the list goes on. Renowned for his precision behind the decks and deep musical sensibility, he remains a key figure in the contemporary circuit.Their RA profile lists Kina Music, Tzinah Records, Memoria Recordings, Moral Fiber and 6 more.often with Justin Cudmore, DJ Split, Alci, none of them here that night

Born in Beijing and now based in NYC, Vivian has carved a niche in the global dance music scene with her high-energy sets and profound musical narratives. Vivian’s journey in music began amidst the backdrop of Tiananmen Square, inspiring a lifelong quest to express freedom and connection through sound. Her sets defy any single genre as she creates unconventional blends of rare vinyl treasures and innovative original productions. Her dynamic presence and versatility has propelled her to the top of the DJ scene, sharing stages with luminaries like Cassy, Danny Tenaglia, Seth Troxler, Juan Atkins, and David Morales, leaving audiences spellbound from Brooklyn to beyond. Vivian’s commitment extends beyond the DJ booth; she’s a pivotal figure in the Brooklyn Sway Label and a co-founder of Freshly Pressed, a music series that supports youth music programs.
