Arapu

Mention his name to any clued-up dancefloor connoisseur and they won’t mince their words: Arapu is a certified treasure. Based in Bucharest, Arapu has been putting out records since 2011, although he has been cultivating his knack and passion for music since he was 15. As a natural outgrowth, in 2015 he started his own label: Liniar. A real master of the decks, the electronic spaces Arapu creates are characterized by his straightforward style and a sense of seductive playfulness. The captivating basslines and driving synths are nothing more than the best fertilizer for his signature sound, carefully mixed at the right bpm to wake up the crowd’s voracious hunger for dancing. Alongside the drones layers, field recordings and bass rumble, Arapu’s discography reaches a greater range of emotions. It’s hard not to notice that his records hide a special feature: the ability to amplify any form of good mood.
