Arjuna was born and raised in Amsterdam. With parents who own a New Age shop, Arjuna was always surrounded by New Age, Meditation and world music. The first time he got really inspired was at the age of 8 when he heard the ambient record 'Sounds of the Heart'. At the age of 15 he really started to go to proper dance events. Artists like Anthony Rother, Orbital, Richie Hawtin and Johannes Heil were the last push to start a career as a producer and triggered the melodic sounds in all his music.

Throughout the years he made all different kinds of tracks. His style varies between ambient, tech-house, electro and even modern classical (film) music. His sound is characterized by a very melodic and mainly warm electronic vibe. During his steamy sets he will take you on into a dreamy yet energetic level.

Since 2006 Arjuna has been performing live at Mystery Land, Dance Valley, Amsterdam Dance Event, FFWD Parade, Paradiso, Studio80, Westerunie, Odeon, Westerliefde, Winkel van Sinkel, dj café Twstd, The Getaway, All is One and many more.

Arjuna is the winner of the prestigious Vinylized Dance Producers Contest with his tune Afterbelle. He composed and produced music for the Diesel fall/winter fashion show during the Amsterdam Fashion week 2007 and for the upcomming 55 DSL fall/winter collection commercial. Also in 2007 Arjuna was in the finals of the "Grote Prijs Van Nederland" one of the biggest producers contests of the Netherlands.

Also Arjuna is working in the studio at several co productions with Isis (a.k.a. deejay 100 % Isis) and deejay Dimitri.
First record release, which is a collaboration with Willie Wartaal, was a big hit. There track "Konijntje" was in the Top 5 of the Dutch and Belgium charts. For more info check out www.myspace.com/akathejunkies..
