Arun R

About me:

The early career stages have taken off well for Arun, making an influential name in Hong Kong, and building up a reputation for playing upfront and quality house music. His style has developed into what is highly sought after by prestigious venues in the city – he is able to take his crowds through journeys of Afro-Latin influenced grooves to a peak of deep and melodic progressions, all framed by jackin’ beats and basslines.....

.. ..

Known to create a live and vibrant atmosphere with his music, it doesn’t matter whether Arun plays at a club, lounge or open-air gig; he is always able to personify his musical presence with an audience, bringing out the essential groove in anyone.....

From 2007 onwards, Arun started to travel around China performing at venues in Zhongshan, Jinan, Guangzhou, Shanghai, as well as being invited to play at Elevate (India), voted 35th best club in the world by DJ Magazine. He has graced the decks for prestigious events like Hed Kandi, Ministry of Sound Sessions, Renaissance Digital Asia Tour and Funky 4 Love, and has the opportunity to play alongside international DJs such as Paolo Mojo, Alex Botar (Diva La Disco), Andy Warburton, Luke Neville, Dennis Christopher (Beatfreakz), Dylan Barnes (Mutiny), Andy Norman, Patrick Hagenaar, Lewis Boardman, Charles Schillings, Sandy Rivera, Bodyrox (Nick), Ko Kimura, ATFC and voted no.1 DJ in the world - Tiesto. Arun has earned appraisal from some of the above names as ‘the perfect warm-up DJ’.....

.. ..

He has been invited to play at most key venues in the city, including internationally renowned M1NT, Drop, Solas, Volar, W Hotel, Home and the trendy Evisu Baru. Other events include performing for an Andy Warhol Exhibition, 42 Below Vodka and Tequila Patron’s party. 2008 has been a busy one for Arun working with Entertaining Asia as an Artist and Events Manager, looking after a DJ roster and handling events, bookings and venue music policies during the day. 2009 started with an appearance at Q Bar (Bangkok), at the Edition Festival with Sandy Rivera and Bodyrox, while the rest of the year is looking to be a busy one as he launches a private members club and his own label ‘Deeper Concepts’.....
