EDMTunes Exclusive: Arty’s Favorite Tracks That Aren’t Dance Music

Progressive house’s hottest Russian export, Arty, has a natural gift of stirring up excitement around every release he announces. In 2014, he remixed Porter Robinson, OneRepublic, and London Grammar as well as unleashing his main stage monster, “Up All Night.” Arty’s heart-wrenching melodies have captivated millions and his musical prowess can be recognized in every detail of his production.

With dance music being so young, every artist has a background in other musical genres that motivated them to pursue their career. Arty has indicated in multiple interview that indie-electronic band M83 and global sensation Coldplay played integral roles in his musical creativity.
