ARNO COST (France)

Arno Cost is one of France's most talented up-and-coming music producers and djs. His music has been making huge waves across the world for a few years now, and at such a young age, Arno is set to join the DJ elite in the near future.

Music has always fascinated Arno. At a very early age his parents immersed him in pop and disco; and he first began producing back in 1999 in his bedroom. His influences and inspirations derive from all genres including Disco, Italo-Disco, "The French Touch" (Daft Punk, Benjamin Diamond, Alan Braxe, Philip Zdar etc.) and modern day heroes such as Stuart Price, Axwell, Lifelike and Eric Prydz.

Arno truly defined his style with the hit track "Magenta," composed alongside Arias. Their song garnered support from some of the world’s top dj talent including Pete Tong, Tom Novy, Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso. First released back in December 2006 in Germany, it became one of the most-played tunes at "The Amsterdam Dance Event." Coupled with a storming mix by Dave Spoon the track reached dizzying heights and was inarguably THE track of 2007. This brought him to the attention of the management team Club Class Music Management, whom he joined in early Jan 2008.

Continuing with his Serial Records releases, “Apocalypse” came next, a stunning monster of a record. “Souvenir” soon followed again with critical acclaim, then the stunning “Darling Harbour”. All were showcased on home city label Serial Records, and were of course licensed to the cream of labels everywhere.... “Cyan” was another pivotal moment for Arno; the track being played just about everywhere, by everyone. Move onto Spring 2010 and the latest track (by Cost / Arias and Michael Feiner) – “The Days to Come” has been signed to US major Big Beat / Atlantic. The label holding this down as an early 2011 release which they believe to be a huge crossover record.

In between these stunning originals, Arno collaborated with friend John Dahlback on “Golden Walls” which was signed to Nero Recordings in Sweden. Massively well received again, remix offers flooded in, Arno sifting his way through these and only agreeing to do tracks he felt he could bring a different dimension to. Zoo Brazil – “Kalle” (with Norman Doray), MOS Australia’s Dirty Laundry – “Hate Me” / David Guetta – “When Love Takes Over” (with Norman Doray) / Goldfraap – “Alive” and Jared Dietch & Mitch LJ ft Polina – “Limit is the Sky” all got the magic touch from this in demand Parisian talent.

Arno’s talent as a DJ is undeniable as well; from featuring as a resident for F*** Me Im Famous in Ibiza 2 summers in a row, to being asked to play for the Swedish House Mafia at Pacha in 2010. Worldwide touring abounds, with no sign of it stopping anytime soon, Arno looks like he’ll be around for some time to come.
