Tony, Paavo & Jono about ALPHA 9: “Russia’s Artem Stolyarov. Whether he’s ARTY or ALPHA 9, he’s always been sensational.
Corentin, Anjuna’s technology boffin, put Artem on our radar. A teenager at the time, he was writing simple, pure melodies that got stuck in your head. ARTY properly arrived on Anjunabeats as part of “Volume 8”. “The Wonder” and “Rush” were both effortlessly catchy and euphoric.
What is there to say about “Zara” and “Kate” that hasn’t been said already? Sublime. His collaborations with Mat Zo also deserve a mention: “Rebound” broke new ground for our label and “Mozart” further refined that winning formula.
Artem’s live energy is unmatched in our label family. He’s a proper rock star, complete with the bleached, blonde hair. We’re a decade into our friendship now, and our next chapter together looks very bright indeed.
Artem is in ALPHA 9 mode on this mix, which celebrates Anjuna’s progressive side and includes records from Paul Keeley, Grum, Jaytech and Bart Claessen. Enjoy!”
ALPHA 9’s edition of “20 Years Of Anjunabeats” is out on January 21st 2020!
