The Moscow-based producer's tracks pop up all over the place, although it's probably with the succession of vinyl he's delivered on the Anjunabeats label that he's most closely associated.
He began his DJ career in 2009. This year, his clean, uplifting sound has made him new friends in both the pure trance and house fanbases, no small part of which was down to another fan, one Ferry Corsten, picking up on a track he made under another of his alter egos, Alpha 9. He gave 'Come Home' prominent billing close to the start of the first CD of his 'Once Upon A Night' collection back in spring 2010, and that, along with his tireless recording and touring schedule, has certainly helped him leapfrog into the chart.
The next 12 months don't look like being any more relaxed, either.
"I've confirmed remixes for Paul van Dyk, Filo & Peri and Gareth Emery," he tells us. "There will be a lot of new singles and I will also be releasing my cover version of Moby's track 'New York New York' on Spinnin' Records.
Quite what his communist era forefathers would have made of such Western decadence we can only imagine, but we know it will go down a storm with clubbers from the Great Wall of China to the Golden Gate Bridge. Not that his excursions abroad to spread his musical message are restricted to America and Canada - as well as Europe and Australia, he's also lined up to visit Indonesia and India.
Around the World
Arty Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Were sweet I didn't blink
I let it in my eyes
Like an exotic dream
The radio playing songs
That I have never heard
I don't know what to say
Just la la la la la
It goes around the world
Just la la la la la
It's all around the world
Just la la la la la
And everybody's singing
La la la la la
And now the bells are ringing
La la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la la
Inside an empty room
My inspiration flows
Now wait to hear the tune
Around my head it goes
The magic melody
You want to sing with me
Just la la la la la
The music is the key
And now the night is gone
Still it goes on and on
So deep inside of me
I long to set it free
I don't know what to do
Just can't explain to you
I don't know what to say
Oh, not another word
Just la la la la la
It goes around the world
Just la la la la la
It's all around the world
Just la la la la la
And everybody's singing
La la la la la
And now the bells are ringing
La la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la la
The kisses of the sun
Around
La la la la la
It goes around the world
Just la la la la la
It's all around the world
Just la la la la la
And everybody's singing
La la la la la
And now the bells are ringing
La la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la
(Around, around, around the world)
La la la la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la

The lyrics to Arty's "Around the World" describe the feeling of being somewhere new and exotic, surrounded by unfamiliar sounds and sights. The singer is experiencing the "kisses of the sun" and letting it all in, capturing the beauty of the moment like an "exotic dream." The radio is playing songs the singer has never heard before, but they don't need to say anything because the music says it all, with the chorus of "la la la" echoing around the world. The music itself is the key, and the singer is moved to create their own melody, which becomes a magic melody that they want everyone to sing with them. The night may end, but the music goes on and on, deep inside the singer. Although they can't explain it, they know that the music transcends language and is something that can be felt by everyone, around the world.

The kisses of the sun
The warmth and illumination of the sun
Were sweet I didn't blink
I was entranced by the sun's beauty and didn't want to look away
I let it in my eyes
I allowed the sun to fill and light up my eyes
Like an exotic dream
It was a surreal experience, like something out of a dream
The radio playing songs
A radio was playing music
That I have never heard
The music was new to me
I don't know what to say
I was at a loss for words
Oh, not another word
I didn't want to say anything more
Just la la la la la
Just humming nonsensical sounds
It goes around the world
The humming sound is heard all around the world
And everybody's singing
Everyone is joining in the humming
And now the bells are ringing
The humming has become a celebratory sound accompanied by bells
Inside an empty room
In a room devoid of any distractions
My inspiration flows
I am able to access my creative inspiration
Now wait to hear the tune
I anticipate hearing the melody that comes to mind
Around my head it goes
The melody is going around and around in my head
The magic melody
The melody that was born from my creativity
You want to sing with me
You are invited to join me in singing this magical melody
The music is the key
The music is what unlocks this creative expression
And now the night is gone
The darkness has lifted
Still it goes on and on
The melody continues to play in my head
So deep inside of me
It comes from a deep, emotional place within me
I long to set it free
I desire to share this with others and let the melody soar
I don't know what to do
I am unsure of what actions to take next
Just can't explain to you
I am unable to describe the feeling accurately to someone else
The kisses of the sun
The warmth and illumination of the sun
Around
All around me
Around, around, around the world
This creative outpouring is not just limited to me, but is something that anyone can experience all around the world
