“a bonafide DJ articulates not through lyrical wish- wash but through the ethereality of a transcendence dance floor experience., and artihc’s been making himself felt deep in our souls and undulating hips…” – JUICE SINGAPORE“
I wanted to mix. Drop the tunes. Create a story. It’s a hobby, an addiction if you wanna call it. I love the vibe of being a clubber too. I think it goes hand in hand. When I’m behind the decks, I try to do one thing. Create a singular experience for the ears, feet, mind, body & soul.
”artihc" (real name "Firman Chitra") , the newly crowned JUICE DJ QUEST 09 CHAMPION, hails from Singapore and has been dropping choons to both the commercially pampered and discerningears for the past eight years. A junglist at heart, he has since the last few years, taken his love for the universal language to various level, with Minimal, Tech House, and Techno as his new soundscapes, joining the league of his usual sound of Drum & Bass, Breaks, Broken beat, Triphop and Downtempos.
Music enables his soul to speak. You feel him when you hear him and you immediately understand the passion, love and respect he has for music. Growing up in a musical family has inevitably made him learn the art of appreciation for all types of music, from classical to pop, from electronic to dance. Once he was exposed to the clubs and parties, he couldn't get enough of the beats. He was hooked immediately to the vibe, the crowd, the atmosphere, the exhilaration of it all. The impact of these experiences energized him and he knew one day he wanted to be able to contribute to this realm..
It was only a matter of time before he earned his first dj set-up and began practicing the art of mixing. Naturally from being just a club raver, he ventured from a Bedroom DJ, to Djs for house parties, events and eventually to established clubs and bars. His focus is always about the feeling and the realness of the music and it’s hidden message. There, he’ll put on a carefully selected track, and gladly take you all with him, with his silent technical wizardry.
Never just settling for what's current, he fuses the underground sound with the chart-busters and floorfillers. Be it house, deep house, tech minimal, progressive, techno, downtempos, he might just surprise you with his dark, dirty beats that slips in between his soulful and melodic rhythms.
When not messing around with AV cables and snapping shots, artihc can be found regularly dropping beats at various established musical meccas in singapore, With gigs in Home Club, Overeasy, supperclub, Art Bar, Colombo (sri lanka), Zouk Singapore and Velvet Underground(Zouk Singapore), all within a span of 6 months since his return to the club scene, this is just the beginning of his aural journey.
