Chaum's music is a journey through the realms of Progressive and Deep House, infused with a deep appreciation for Jazzy and Soulful Grooves. His love for the Progressive House and Techno aesthetic shines through, as he skillfully channels the darker, more introspective elements into his sound. However, Chaum's music isn't about cold, industrial repetition. Instead, it evokes a deep yearning for the horizon, guiding the listener or dancer forward with soft, melodic touches that carry a hint of melancholy.

His DJ sets seamlessly blend these influences, merging Deep House with melodic soundscapes, groovy basslines, and punchy drums to create a sound that is both captivating and deeply emotive. Each set is a carefully curated journey that feels like a sweet, endless decay, leaving a lasting impression.

A regular contributor to renowned imprints such as Sudbeat, Hoomidaas, Manual, Movement Recordings, Mango Alley, and Juicebox Records, Chaum continues to push the boundaries of his craft, delivering music that resonates with both the heart and soul.

ARJ (IR) is a Toronto-born electronic music producer and DJ known for his work in deep progressive house. His early exposure—thanks to his parents—to Global Underground, Buddha-Bar, and artists like Dave Seaman and deadmau5 sparked a fascination with emotional depth and evolving structures from as young as age five. Later inspirations such as Guy J, Sébastien Léger, Subandrio, and other key figures in the progressive community further shaped his focus on atmosphere, melodic storytelling, and subtle rhythmic detail.

He began producing in 2025, developing his craft through dedicated experimentation and a growing interest in creating immersive, evolving compositions. With music now signed to labels such as AH Digital, Balkan Connection, Future Avenue, and Sound Of Harmonies—and with his tracks remixed by heavyweights in the global progressive scene including goodkidd, Nishan Lee, Fran Baigo, Seba Benedetti, MOB (LB), Exile (AR) and more—his studio approach emphasizes thoughtful arrangement and refined sound design, balancing groove-forward energy with introspective melodics.

Having already received support from artists like Blake Jarrell, Cosmonaut, Teleport-X, Luca Abayan, Nicolas Viana, and Noise Generation—and having shared the stage with progressive house icons including Guy Mantzur and Hicky & Kalo, as well as local talents such as Sa-MoaN, Locotek, and Oz Akgun—ARJ (IR) continues to refine his artistic voice with steady growth and authentic expression.
