#18 DJ Argy - Techno DJ & Producer

Born from an era that established the mixtape as an art form, Argy is an artist who has grown up being inspired by the remarkable evolution of Electronica. Having emerged on to the scene in 2009 he established himself as a regular player in the UK and European circuits for just about every hard dance/trance brand worth noting; Think Tomorrowland, Defqon 1, Creamfields, Gatecrasher and many more. After developing his sound solidly over the past 10 years, Argy remains one of the most exciting names on today’s circuit. Poised above all that is average, Argy’s sound now resonates with a passion for all things techno with a distinct identity for individuality. The Master of Mash-up, there is no such thing as a typical Argy set. Fuelled by an obsession for tech-soaked beats, Argy is an artist determined to be defined by concept rather than by genre and represents a fresh sound for a new generation of crowds wowed by his immeasurable enthusiasm and outstanding technical prowess. His unique production style lays the foundation for a set entwining mashups, bootlegs and exclusive edits, combined with pinpoint accuracy, technical trickery and intelligent effects.
