Viken Arman

Viken Arman's approach to dance music is about carefully meshing his progressive, collagist approach to dance music with sounds of the past. On his previous five EPs, the French producer-DJ was a sonic shaman of sorts, fusing obscure melodies from his Armenian heritage with lucid, spacey beats. In more recent times, he's been soaking up inspiration from Berlin's underground club scene. Of this track, he shares, "This modular ballad concludes the opus, delivering the final message. This never ending modular melody serves as a soundtrack to illustrate a certain feeling of togetherness on a beautiful morning walk after an inspiring night where I realised that this is it: there is nothing more to add." tinyurl.com

French producer/ DJ, and musician, Viken Arman crafts a distinct sound that blends the timeless and modern from a collage of samples, modular grooves, and acoustic composition, subtly melding his influences of jazz, house, minimal, hiphop & world music.

"To all the ravers who surrender to the complex rhythms of life with grace, who know that the beat of our hearts is the vibrations of the universe. To you who get lost in order to find yourself, who know that the path is never straight, but always worth going. To the guardians holding space for us to explore the symphony of chaos, who know that the collective whole blooms when singularity comes together in unity. You with me as a mantra. To all the ravers who dance on the edge of existence, who dare to imagine beyond the constraints of reality. To the seekers of truth, the wanderers of the soul, the artists of life who brave the unknown searching for you. To that tear streaming down your face, a reminder that vulnerability is a source of strength. To your smile enlightening the world, as a light to be found in the midst of darkness. To her who is always in my heart. To that fragile freedom. To love. Forever rêveur. We are. Alone. Together." vikenarman.bandcamp.com
