Biography [edit]

In 2009, Arty released his first production at the age of 19. His EP Vanilla Sky appeared on the label Enhanced Progressive and brought him to the attention of several DJs. His single "Bliss" appeared on tracklisting of A State Of Trance with Armin van Buuren in early 2010 and his breakthrough came later that year when Above & Beyond signed him on their label Anjunabeats. They featured his singles Rush and The Wonder in their club sets and on their radio show Trance Around the World. In 2011 he released Zara, his third single on the Anjunabeats label.

Before 2011, Arty was also known as Alpha 9, and released 2 tracks with that title: Bliss (2009) and Come Home (2010), both with Flashover Recordings.

In 2011 Arty collaborated with Mat Zo, another trance artist signed to Anjunabeats. Their first joint production Rebound was released on 19 April 2011 as the 200th single of Anjunabeats.^[2] The song was voted Webvote Winner on three straight occasions in the radio show Trance Around the World.^[3] At the anniversary party ASOT 500 of Armin van Buurens radio show A State of Trance on April, 9th 2011 in Den Bosch the two DJs played on the Main Floor along some well established DJs such as Markus Schulz, Above & Beyond, Gareth Emery, and Armin himself.^[4]

Since 2011, Arty has a monthly residency on the radio show Anjunabeats Worldwide. On 11 April 2011, the compilation Anjunabeats Worldwide 03 was released, co-produced by him and Daniel Kandi.
