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.
UP ALL NIGHT
Arty Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With the keys in my hand
Said you'd pick me up
You're late again
Standing out in the cold
On the side of the road
Watching cars
Hoping you're one of them
There's a demon in me
Telling me to believe
That you and I are more than just friends
There's an angel beside
Saying things just ain't right
But I'm not good at listening
You keep me up, up
Keep me up all night
Who you think you are
Do this every time
You keep me up up
Just to bring me down
Look like a fool right now
Whenever I see you out
Hey you said that you would change
And you were gonna fix it
I say that talk is cheap
I'm going that's it
I'm staying up up
Staying up all night
Me myself and I
Staying up all night
Hmmm
Got your cards in my skin
And it doesn't make sense
But I love it when I feel the pain
Got your teeth sink 'em in
What I'm fighting against
The part of me that loves the rain
There's a demon in me
Telling me to believe
That you and I are everything
There's an angel beside
Saying things just ain't right
But I'm not good at listening
You keep me up up
Keep me up all night
Who you think you are
Do this every time
You keep me up up
Just to bring me down
Look like a fool right now
Whenever I see you out
Hey you said that you would change
And you were gonna fix it
I say that talk is cheap
I'm going that's it
I'm staying up up
Staying up all night
Me myself and I
Staying up all night
You keep me up up
Keep me up all night
Who you think you are
Do this every time
You keep me up up
Just to bring me down
Look like a fool right now
Whenever I see you out
Hey you said that you would change
And you were gonna fix it
I say that talk is cheap
I'm going that's it
I'm staying up up
Staying up all night
Me myself and I
Staying up all night
The song "Up All Night" by Arty is about a toxic relationship that both parties can't seem to break away from. The first verse sets the scene with the singer waiting for their partner who promised to pick them up but is running late again. Standing out in the cold, they start to question the nature of their relationship, with an inner battle between the desire to believe in something more than friendship and the realization that things just aren't right. The chorus repeats the cycle of being kept up all night, only to be brought down again, and the singer finally decides to stay up all night alone instead of falling into the same trap.
The second verse delves deeper into the dysfunctional nature of the relationship, with the singer admitting that they love it when their partner leaves their mark on them, even if it causes pain. The demon and angel metaphor come back, with the demon telling them that the other person is everything and the angel trying to provide some perspective. Despite the inner turmoil, the cycle continues, with the chorus repeating once again. The final lines of the song suggest that the singer has finally had enough and will stay up all night alone, with only themselves for company.
Overall, "Up All Night" is a moody, introspective song that explores the complexities of relationships and the difficulty of breaking away from toxic patterns. It also features a driving beat and catchy hooks that make it a hit on the dance floor.
