He sent us a 2h long DJ set divided into 2 parts:
1h with a lot of jazz/funk fused with breakbeat and trip-hop amongst the techy future-music. The second hour begins as he describes it : "with a particular favourite from Sasha’s ‘Airdrawndagger’ which queues me up to deliver a further hour of “standard fare” dancefloor tunes which I might want to play during an eg. 2300-0000 slot."

Find included some of his releases!
Dark Arps’ sound is a blend of broken beat and techno underpinned with dark, razor-sharp melodies, progressive hooks and tough basslines... futuristic, emotional and always danceable. 

He has provided support to notable artists and has productions and releases on various label like Woodwork Recordings, Submarine Vibes, Suprematic Sounds... and now self-releasing on his own imprint - [metadata_records]

Le Catalsyte Standalone series

Standalone series: Dark Arps (metadata_records / Vancouver  / CA)

Ever since he bought his first single, Pet Shop Boys - Suburbia, Kranic has always been about the music, encountering the Beastie Boys in the early 90s and exploring the full spectrum of music ever since.

This journey has led Kranic from the deep dark underground of the Gothic/Industrial scene, through the old school Hip Hop sounds, with a splash of Punk and Metal, the uplifting melodies of Goa/Psychedelic Trance and anything in between to the full-on grooves of House, Techno and ultimately Techhouse.

Through the mentoring of nilicule, Kranic has now found a calling in this wonderful cross-over genre and uses the progression of modern day technology to share his love for music.

Dynamic, deep and progressive, with contrasting vibes of tension and optimism, Dark Arps’ sound is a blend of broken beat and techno underpinned with dark, razor-sharp melodies, progressive hooks and tough basslines... futuristic, emotional and always danceable. He has provided support to notable artists such as Stelios Vassiloudis, Ramon Tapia, Darren Emerson, Dave Seaman, John ‘00’ Fleming, Jay Tripwire, Matthew Dear, Justin Massei, Karsten Sollors, Tyler Stadius, and Max Ulis. Previous productions and releases include EP and singles on Woodwork Recordings, Submarine Vibes, Suprematic Sounds, Nuevadark, Major League Recordings, East Van Digital and Steamtown. Now self-releasing on his own imprint - [metadata_records]

Formed in 2004, Dark Arps of Canada is a Canadian Underground Creativity Collective. Inspired by the likes of Burial and Banksy, we have remained anonymous throughout our career. Who we are is not important, it's about the music. To truly experience Dark Arps of Canada, our live show must be experienced. Real rave veterans know who DAOC is. Gleefully we obliterate those who would silence us. BLM!
