“Strongly influenced by the uniqueness of Moby & the perfection of Sasha, Arkadia resembles an infusion of melodies & rhythm with Pryda style progression & impact.”

Arkadia is a producer & DJ residing from Melbourne, Australia, who is taking his influential sound and projecting it to the world. True to his fans, Arkadia's music reflects the sounds of a producer with raw musical talent whose dedication to producing quality underground music shines through.

The 22 year old says, “I want to bring something raw and exciting to the world of dance music. We are in the electronic age where artists come and go in the blink of the eye; I don’t want to be one of those artists.”

At 16, Arkadia became engulfed by the world of dance music. “I would spend every night at the record store in the city listening to all the new records that came in that day. At the end of the week I’d go in and buy all the records I had put aside. I remember pulling out ‘Lifelike & Kris Menace – Discopolis’ and playing it for the first time and thought; I want to produce music like that.”

Completing his certificate in Music Production at 19, Arkadia has since been releasing records under a different alias. “My name is significant to my music now because I have been influenced by so many fantastic artists over the years. Eric Prydz, Kris Menace and Jerome IsmAae are all producers I aspire to be like.”

His first track was released as winner of the Pete Tong Bedroom Bedlam competition in 2008 and since has seen him release records for some of the biggest names in the business. Zouk Recordings (Armada) & OneLove are labels recently to have signed his work with remixes for Sharam Jey & Three N' One.

With an arsenal of tracks ready to be released, Arkadia promises to keep dance music well and truly alive for many years to come.
