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 during Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE), where he shared his unique sonic vision with an open-minded and curious audience. In 2025, he will return to ADE for a new chapter in his journey.

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.

techno, hardtechno producer and dj based in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
