Aroop Roy is a producer, musician and label head, who joins the dots between electronic music and borderless organic sounds. From house, disco and techno to jazz, funk and Afrobeat, he has enjoyed universal acclaim as a producer and DJ.

Like his productions, his sets are full of personality and style and have earned him a growing reputation as a uniquely gifted DJ. In 2022, he closed We Out Here Festival with Mr Scruff who described Aroop as a 'ridiculously skilled selector, musically able to move in any direction with ease'. We were fortunate enough to witness this magic, so it's with great pleasure we welcome him to the series. Enjoy

NYC native Son Of Sound is back on Delusions of Grandeur with his 'No Loitering' EP, featuring a funky house remix by eclectic UK producer Aroop Roy.

Since emerging with his material landing on labels like Freestyle, Basic Fingers and House Of Disco, Aroop Roy has been gaining momentum due to his unique approach fusing organic elements of various genres to showcase the deeper shades of house and disco. His remix of Son Of Sound's track 'NY Iz All I Know' delivers a stripped back version of the original while still ensuring to provide heat for the dancefloor.

Son Of Sound's 'No Loitering' EP is set for release December 8.

British producer Aroop Roy (@aroop-roy) flexed his record digger muscles to track down 'Tabala Mouv', an ultra-rare Zouk record from the mid-80s, in order to revive it for today's dancefloors with an official reissue on his own Vive La Musique.

Here Mixmag premieres Aroop's own reworking of the original, which features a boosted tempo that flips the iconic track into an irresistible groove with universal appeal to house, disco and Balearic music fans. Without stripping away the core of songwriter and producer, Maurice  Agad's original, Aroop's version is a worthy compliment that will give new life to the iconic track.

The 'Tabala Mouv' reissue, which also included the original as well as a rework by Truccy and Aroop Roy, is out soon.

British producer Aroop Roy (@aroop-roy) has arranged an official remaster and reissue of prolific Congolese talent Sammy Massamba's two tracks 'Azali' and 'Birika' on his own Vive La Musique imprint.

Ahead of the EP's release on August 19, Aroop Roy has handed over his edit of the lead single 'Azali' to Mixmag for a premiere. Taking the sweltering afrobeat epic and giving it a modern-club touch, Roy's extended rework of this feel-good West African staple is as infectious as they come.
