Artist, DJ, producer, live act, label owner, radio show host, and all-around music entrepreneur: Arjun Vagale wears many hats.
Widely considered as the pioneer of techno in India, Arjun Vagale has steadily built his reputation upon a long list of phenomenal releases.
Like many other artists from the 2010s who jumped on the "SoundCloud hype train" to show their music to the world, Arjun remains one of the select few whose music managed to stand the test of time.

But that's not all, following success with Jalebee Cartel, a supergroup that singlehandedly put India on the international dance music map, Arjun decided to continue making darker, experimental music as a solo artist.
Needless to say, his success has been unparalleled! From headlining at the Vh1 Supersonic Awakening in India, and subsequently playing Awakenings Festival in Holland to having some of the best remixing his tracks, he has seen it all.
Known for his intense and raw sound, Arjun has released his debut solo album on the infamous Axis Records, headed by Jeff Mills.
In his latest Instagram post, Arjun explained that his debut album will remain an exclusive release, to be purchased from Axis Records. (Yes, that means it will NOT be on streaming platforms!)
Not only does Arjun realize how important it is to get direct support from the fans on album releases, but he also does not shy away from being a mentor for the underground either.
Vagale is a co-owner of UnMute Agency, which manages the Indian underground talents.
Along with Ramiro Lopez, he runs the music label Odd Recordings, a fusion of Indo-Spanish music.
For someone who is well known for being experimental, it should not surprise anyone to see Arjun spearhead a new revolution, as the case is with his new album.
