This is where we begins

ARJ is a techno producer and DJ from Harderwijk, the Netherlands, known for his deep, hypnotic sound and his philosophical approach to electronic music. His style blends raw, driving techno, melancholic melodies, and subtle nods to the old school gabber scene where his passion for sound was born.

Through his ongoing series Neurotransmitters, ARJ explores the connection between sound, emotion, and the human brain. For him, music is not just entertainment — it’s vibration, frequency, and movement. Everything is built from frequencies, including ourselves. By understanding this, ARJ seeks to create sets that connect people on a deeper level — offering a space to release, to feel, and to unite.

In 2024, ARJ made his live debut at Kaleidoscope: Toekomstmuziek and performed at, le voyage, during Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE), where he shared his unique sonic vision with an open-minded and curious audience. In 2025, he played in the famous club "John Doe" and at the first edition of "3ST" festival. In october he will return to ADE for a new chapter in his musical career.

With new releases on the horizon and a deep-rooted passion for the power of sound to bring people together, ARJ continues to refine his mission: to create powerful sets that don’t just move the body, but connect us all on a deeper level.

I started to do music in 2021 as a Dj and from 2025 I run my record label - Lost Memory Records in London.  I've been fascinated with techno for a years already - truly believing that music is not just a rhythm, but is a space of mind. I like to combine simple percussion loops with dirty synths. Drums acts on primal instincts for body, while synths create mind trips. In my sets I combine tracks, loops and single shots - to create sound landscape. I like harmony in music as much as contrasts. Minimalistic sounds let enjoy the emptiness, while melodies and loops are surroundings for escaping mind.
