BIOGRAPHY ARTENTO DIVINI
A well known artist once said: "Making and playing music is like a reflex,I just can't control it". And a reflex it is for one of Holland's former talents who is taking the world of dancemusic by storm. Many DJs have made it to the top and so did numerous producers. But there are only so many people who are skilled enough to let both DJ-ing and producing go hand in hand to create a perfect synergy. One of those artists who posesses everything a DJ/ producer needs, is Artento Divini.
At the age of 19 the young and enthousiastic Ard Schilderink discovers the world of house music after being a successful cyclist and seeing many parts of Europe. His love for four measured beats starts to grow on him and resulted in buying his very own pair of turntables. Just like every DJ he started practicing the art of mixing, which lead to competing in several mixingcontests and, even more important, conquering these gauntlets. In 2002 Artento headlined the Brazilian festival Eco System and ended up touring this country for over three months and playing small hotspots in a.o. Manaus and other cities bordering the Amazone river.
Trying out different styles of music, slowly his sound developped into the style Divini plays nowadays. In 2006 Artento and his former partner in crime Melvin Warning added a new chapter to his starshooting career by producing the massive clubhit 'Divini & Warning - 4LB'. Tiësto played it at Sensation White during his 30 minutes surprise-guest-performance, Armin van Buuren started off his set at Dance Valley 2006 playing '4LB' and Sander van Doorn even used this 'Radio 538 Dance Smash Hit' on his Dance Valley mix compilation, so the impact of this first release was extremely big. Their second single 'Chaib' was dedicated to a special friend who sadly past away after being involved in a diving accident at the island of Curaçao. Artento Divini: "He lives on in our hearts, also through this record".
At some point Divini and Warning both decided to pick up their solo careers again and seperated ways. Soon Artento's first solorelease had reached the cd-wallets of many renowned DJs. 'Pulse' was released on 2Play Records and even Eddie Halliwell played this track on his BBC 1 radioshow. But the biggest solo-hit till now was yet to come. 'Reflex' has really established Artento Divini's name within the scene; Sander van Doorn's DOORN Records picked up this future classic release and made it get stuck at the number two spot of the Beatport-charts for several weeks. Even Australia and New-Zealand will be Reflexed, Central Station has signed this belter exclusively for named territory. Some comments on this release were:
Ferry Corsten: "Played it in my radioshow!"
Sander van Doorn: "This is massive, creates mayhem on the dancefloors."
Paul Oakenfold: "Stormer, very nice tune!"
'Reflex' has just hit the shelves in cd-single format, so you know where to find it now.
Dutch superstar DJ Jochen Miller and Artento Divini teamed up in the studio for the Emporium anthem 2008, which was signed by Dedicated Records. 'One Way' was created for one of Holland's biggest festivals (Emporium) and the success of this track made them decide to collaborate on more productions. Their bootlegs of a.o. 'David Guetta - Love Is Gone' and 'One Republic - Apologize' were very well received on the dancefloor and of course brand new material was due soon. The follow up of 'One Way' has already reached the playlists of the world's best DJs, so keep your ears open for the original mix of 'Many Years' (Dedicated Records) and the progressive remix that will surely surprise but not disappoint you.
Their Artento Divini vs Jochen Miller project will slightly differ from the Divini & Miller sound; 'No Backup' is not as trancy as their other tracks, but once Reset releases this quality production, you will witness the damage it will do throughout the scene. Both 'Many Years' and 'No Backup' will be out in October/ November of 2008.
Artento's remixes have also become very popular, he has rebuilt tracks like 'Jochen Miller - Lost Connection'' (Marco V started off his set with this one at Sensation White 2008), 'Fausto - Lupara' and the near future will show that Divini has got some more remixtricks up his sleeve. Also his bootlegs have become enormously popular, Depeche Mode's 'Personal Jesus' and 'Hide U' by Kosheen were given the Artento treatment and both go down a storm on the dancefloor.
The sound of Artento Divini can be described as a mixture of minimal rhythms, trancy influences and rough driving sounds. Divini: "My creative brain seems unstoppable, it just goes on and on and on. Like someone once said: 'It's like a reflex, I just can't stop it'. So maybe I've come down with the same desease as that guy, who knows..."
