ȶɛʍքǟʊʀǟʟ // EP017

Electro producer Ara-U began his musical journey in the late ‘90s, playing a pivotal role in developing the underground scene in South America. His early sets fused vinyl and synths, using a hybrid setup of Roland machine drums, turntables, and FX to explore acid and breaks. Now based in the UK for over two decades, Ara-U’ s sound remains rooted in raw analogue electro, showcasing his unrelenting passion for the sound.

As the founder of No Static Automatic (NS/A), Ara-U celebrates the label’s 5th anniversary this year. Founded in 2020 the label has established itself as a respected home for underground electro from across the world. Releases have come from figures from the genre with Ed DMX, Radioactive Man, Kronos Device, Second Storey, Ben pest, Manao and many more. This year he just released a collaboration with Ben Pest on NSA and a remix for Radioactiveman Kick out the jams remixes on AFT, his electro-punk band Return of the Luddites’ debut album. Next coming year as well as his own solo LP.

Ara-U’s own production has not only been released on NS/A but various EPs and tracks have dropped across Avoidant, Censor Music, Co-Accused Records, Bass agenda as well as his 2019 collaboration with Radioactive Man ‘Plastic Attack EP’ on Asking For Trouble. His productions and NS/A releases alike have received support from some of the most respected DJs with support from the likes of Helena Hauff, DJ Bone, Laurent Garnier, Dave Clarke, Mad Miran, Jerome Hill, Alienata, and Solid Blake and has been featured in Resident Advisor, Mixmag Spain and DJ Mag.

As well as putting the finishing touches to his first album, Ara-u has developed a hardware live set that channels his take on analogue sounds - traversing machine funk, driving basslines and dark pads. His live performances are as dynamic and raw as his productions, keeping his music authentic and raw to the core.
