With his sincere charm and melodic tunes Arjuna brings a smile to the Dutch melodic house and techno scene. Like no other he knows how to stow a particular feel out of the speakers, seeping in your ears and unleashing emotions with his own distinctive melodic and energetic style. His productions move on the borders of deep house and tech-house, saturated with intense synths and melancholic storytelling melodies. Dark electronic elements get alternated with warm, dreamy sentiments, inciting people to both listen with their eyes closed and dance euphorically.

When one could assume, &ME entered the House and Techno world somewhat out of the blue, it is due to his sublime modesty that’s already captured in his alias. His way to become one of today’s most praised and sought after DJ/producers is based on a solid foundation. A foundation comprised of solo-releases, remixes, projects and collaborations that numerous, we’d rather refer to his discography than weary you with namedropping. Besides, all those references would just distract from what truly matters – the music this guy is delivering. Not to underestimate the importance of a project such as Terranova for &ME’s current path, but still the alignment has been made – to focus consistently on his solo-work. And it shows.

There are not many artists around turning in such a slew of globally praised floormaterial like &ME did over the last years. Just think of his last offerings on Keinemusik, a collective of Berlin based DJs and producers, including Rampa, Adam Port, Reznik & artist Monja Gentschow, he helped founding in 2009, namely “After Dark” and “Woods” or his “Vermillion”-remix for Damian Lazarus – all serious bangers, played by every renowned DJ worldwide. Everything is falling into place for the fella. His DIY-approach to handle things, his easy going attitude, his reputation as a gifted producer and DJ extraordinaire, his ability to link innovative production with consensual reception, making him one of the most unique and original figures in the game.

DJ and Producer JP Enfant is an inspirator, building an electric connection on the dancefloor. It's as if he stirs up a musical vortex that you lose yourself in. Like a guide, he inspires others to live their narratives through his music and opens their imagination. 
By now, the Dutch DJ and producer has become a lasting, influential entity in Amsterdam's techno scene and beyond. He carried his dreamy and persuasive sounds outside the Netherlands to clubs such as Berghain, Fabric, Bassiani and to festivals like Awakenings and Melt!. JP Enfant's residencies at Trouw and later De School in Amsterdam solidified his position in the scene. 
As a producer, his releases have established him as a name synonymous with timeless, sophisticated techno - mirroring the sultry ambiance he builds on the dance floor. Psychedelic Romance, his own imprint and event series, aims to create stories through art and mindfulness, blending sultry techno with occasional ambient undertones - it embodies JP Enfant’s vision of electronic music and the ultimate dancefloor experience.
His release “Shifting Cybernetic Horizons” takes Enfant’s version of nocturnal, mysterious techno in new directions including a sense of future-past romanticism. This sets the right parameters for shaping the path forward with his music and in his DJ sets.
