Arjun Vagale / Anil Chawla / Vipul

Taking a calculated risk a few years ago to move away from his major main stage career, Arjun followed his love for the counterculture by traveling into darker, more experimental musical terrain. Always inspired by the sounds coming out of Berlin, he started basing his summer tours out of the techno Mecca, and the intensity of his productions reflected this evolution. The game changer came in 2010 with the release of "Kill the String" on ALiVE recordings, which propelled his solo production career. Releases on Fergie's Excentric Muzik followed, as did strong support from Dubfire, Carl Cox, Karotte and Kaserdisco.

His immense collaboration "She Said" on KD Music stayed hot on Beatport and vinyl charts for over two months. Richie Hawtin gave it multiple plays around the globe, while Carl Cox licensed it for his 2012 "Space Ibiza" CD. Soon after, Arjun's EPs on Cologne's Trapez Ltd, including the gigantic Ibiza hit "Terrakoz", were acclaimed by DJs and clubbers alike with remix requests for Danny Tenaglia, Victor Calderone, Wally Lopez and John Digweed's Bedrock. The versatility of his sound ensured that each of his 2013 releases stayed on the charts, while "Kempai" was licenced to Digweed's "Live in Argentina" compilation. Now signed to SCI+TEC, Tronic, Octopus Recording, Suara, Herzblut, and Material Series, Arjun's dynamic productions are played by Cox, Hawtin, Dubfire, Adam Bayer, Christian Smith, Stacey Pullen and Paco Osuna, all the way from Enter and DC 10 in Ibiza to Berghain in Berlin.

In his spare time, Arjun runs a truly global record label, MakTub Music, where he indulges in his other passion: discovering and promoting fresh talent. Over the last 3 years, the imprint has become home to an impressive roster of artists. He also runs India’s premier electronic music school, The ILM Academy, and is co-owner of UnMute Agency, which manages the finest underground talent in India. Over the last 16 years, Arjun Vagale has come to the forefront for the quality and depth of his productions and DJ sets, while always staying true to his roots. Whether packing in the dance floor or producing yet another monster tune, Arjun's total dedication to house and techno is apparent in everything he does.

Anil Chawla

"One to watch, a masterful producer buoying large upon the horizon of worldwide electronica... reminds us of an early Rampling/Wink lovechild - big things set to come!"
Global Underground

"Anil Chawla is one of the finest residents in the land"
Nic Fanciulli

"Definitely a name to keep an eye on in the future. A top guy and a hot producer"
Mark Knight

An artist laden with a rich and diverse history, who famously held down a 5 year residency at one of London's most notorious clubs, Turnmills. Anil had the both envious and unenvious task of warming up for electronic music royalty as diverse as The Chemical Brothers, Fatboy Slim, Francois K, Josh Wink, Green Velvet, Simian Mobile Disco, Mylo, Hot Chip, MSTRKRFT, and Cassius.

His career has taken him around the world on numerous tours to Argentina, Peru and Guatemala (on his headline tour of South America), to Cocoon in Frankfurt, Australia, Dubai, Miami, Egypt, Amsterdam, Ukraine and across the UK. That's not to mention his other appearances at Pete Tong's Wonderland and Cafe Mambo in Ibiza, and in countries including Mexico, Russia, USA, Spain, India, Lithuania, Philippines, Georgia, Austria, Poland, Sweden, Italy and the Channel Islands.

No stranger to radio, guest mixes followed on BBC Radio 1, Carl Cox's Global and John Digweed's Transitions shows, as well as a resident spot on Ministry of Sound Radio. His DJ profile has been constantly growing year on year, as well as his ever increasing status as a producer, with releases on leading labels like Saved, KD Music, Bitten, Tronic, Alleanza, GU, and Great Stuff. That alongside countless awards/reviews from DJMag, iDJ, Mixmag and Beatport.

More recent times have seen Anil gather strong props from the techno fraternity, with Richie Hawtin playing a vast majority of his releases, and quite memorably he played 4 of Anil's tracks during one set at his Enter night in Ibiza last year. More support has been coming from Marco Carola, Loco Dice and Carl Cox, as well as numerous airings from Hawtin during his recent 'CNTRL: Beyond EDM' tour across the US, which has put Anil firmly on the techno map.

Whilst currently based in India, Anil continues touring across the globe - with everything from deep grooves to freaky acid house and techno still all part of his repertoire. His productions continue to gain support from the likes of Laurent Garnier, John Digweed, Pete Tong, Hernan Cattaneo, James Zabiela and Nic Fanciulli. Fresh off the back of his critically acclaimed debut compilation release with Sony Music India (alongside a 14 date tour at the end of 2013) it will ensure that his name carries on being on the house and techno music cognoscenti’s lips into the decade.
