ARNO COST + DAVE AUDE!! Both DJ/Producers have made MASSIVE tracks in the house music/EDM world and have hit the charts HARD.
ABOUT ARNO COST: Since his discovery in 2006, French DJ/Producer Arno Cost has quickly moulded his reputation as one of the scenes most promising young talents. With his musical sensibilities residing within the realms of electronica, disco and house, Arnos’ production and remix work has attracted praise from some of dance music’s most formidable figures, including Pete Tong, Tom Novy and Sebastian Ingrosso.
Arno Cost’s talent stemmed from his parents keen interest in exposing him to music from an early age. Brought up on a diet of pop music, Italo-Disco and later, the innovations of the seminal ‘French Touch’ such as Daft Punk, Arno’s appreciation turned into creation as he took his hand to production in 1999.
Fast forward to January 2006 and the fruits of Arno’s labour paid off after being signed to Serial Records along with his two close friends; Norman Doray and Pierre de la Touche. The trio found their big break in the form of collaborative single ‘Let U Go’, producing under the guise The Freshmakers. The single enjoyed heavy airplay on French radio as well as finding favour with many prominent DJs including Didier Sinclair, Antoine Claraman, Hoxton Whores and Muttonheads. Arno subsequently dropped a remix of Greyster’s ‘Under the Fuse of Love’, which was immediately picked up by Pete Tong and entered the UK Club Charts at no.2, remaining a favourite for many weeks. The rest of 2006 was spent making The Freshmakers’ remixes for the likes of Da Sushiman, Rilod and Serial Crew and pushing his own solo production ventures on imprints such as Cr2 and Kontor.
Arno’s name was lavished with a great deal more attention in 2006 following the release of his first smash hit, the elegantly crafted ‘Magenta’ which he composed alongside Arias. Pete Tong and Tom Novy’s adoration of the track was no secret, and with an arresting rework from Dave Spoon, ‘Magenta’ became something of a DJs secret weapon the world over. It was in fact the most played tune at The Amsterdam Dance Event that year. Arno’s next Cr2 release was 2007’s ‘Apocalypse’ with Norman Doray. A heady concoction of sweeping composition and thumping house rhythms, the single was a favourite with Eric Prydz and Steve Angello and was given a tough rework by Sebastian Leger. With no doubt as to the potency of Arno’s partnership with production buddies Doray and de la Touche, the status as France’s answer to the Swedish House Mafia is one increasingly linked to the Parisian contingent. Arno has been called on to remix for Laidback Luke, David Guetta and Zoo Brazil’s ‘Kalle’ on Nero Records.
In 2008, Arno released electronic smash ‘Souvenir’ and ‘Golden Walls’, a collaboration with Sweden’s John Dahlback. Both received glowing reports and support from the likes of Axwell and Steve Angello. Arno’s status as a major international DJ is gaining serious momentum having played shows at The Sydney Freedom Dance Festival and a Cr2 night at Matter in London. Most notably in late 2008, the famous radio station RADIO FG chose Arno to mix its new compilation CLUB FG, following on from David Guetta over the past couple of years.
Arno is also set to launch his own label ACtive. Arno is a man who is increasingly in demand and with the additional creative outlet of The Freshmakers at his disposal, his talent are now a source of acute excitement amongst DJs, producers and house music revellers alike.
ABOUT DAVE AUDE: Dave Audé is on time and on track. His programming, professionalism and beats all reflect his characteristic ease within the realm of mathematical, electronic music. With more than 13 years as a veteran producer and DJ, Dave has produced, remixed and listened to a shitload of records. Like a Ph.D.-educated archeologist uncovering ancient treasures, Audé expertly distinguishes classics from worthless sound shards. Perhaps that is why U2, Sting, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Ke$ha, One Republic, Puff Daddy, Rihanna, Jennifer Lopez, Selena Gomez, LeAnn Rimes, Kelly Clarkson, Britney Spears, Depeche Mode, Coldplay, Pussycat Dolls, Beyoncé, tATu, Nelly Furtado, Donna Summer, and Korn have trusted him to translate their music into dope on wax.
“The real focus is on the artist and the song,” explains Dave. “I am more dedicated to producing quality music and seeing a record be successful than simply completing a contract.”
In 2010 Dave was honored with is first Grammy nomination. He’s created an un-precedented 74 #1 Billboard tracks (and counting). His Audacious Records imprint is introducing a myriad of fans to deliciously insane beats that include his 2011 albums; Audacious 3 and Audacious Summer Sampler; singles such as Luciana’s I’m Sill Hot, Sisely Treasure’s That You Like and his own Holdin On that features up and coming vocalist, Elijah. He’s served as Music Director for the Pussycat Dolls Tour, crafted music for the feature film 'Nine', and added a few IMDA nominations to his list of accomplishments all within the past few years. He also hosts Audacious Radio a weekly show that airs Saturday nights on SiriusXM BPM and showcases some of the hottest releases and exclusive interviews. Add that to all of his studio work and you could say the man doesn’t like to rest on his laurels.
And although he didn’t come home with the hardware on Grammy night, he’s already won. “Being nominated really and truly is an honor.” States Audé. “People think it may be cliché to say that, but if you’ve never been nominated then you are, you might think a little differently.” He continues, “I got to attend the 52nd annual Grammy Awards and I got to hang out with my very talented peers, which is a life-long dream fulfilled.”
As the ultimate ‘go to’ producer, Dave provides the sonic solution. He combines artist development, problem solving and, needless to say, a focused musical sense, to achieve the intended result. Once on board, Dave produces the music that completes the desired package. Whether it’s engineering the platinum-selling debut album from Lindsay Lohan (“Speak”) or remixing tracks to top the Billboard dance charts…. Dave’s spot on!
Dave developed this trait over the years as Moonshine Music’s in-house producer. From 1992 until 2000, every single genre of electronic music released on the nation’s largest independent dance label passed through Dave’s studio. Along the way, he successfully worked with artists who had very clear ideas as well as adapting to those who are less focused. Dance artists as varied as Paul Oakenfold, Christopher Lawrence, DJ Dan, Keoki and Cirrus have all entrusted their musical visions to Dave Audé – each with distinctive styles benefiting from the unifying factor of Audé’s quality touch.
Dave has earned a reputation as a master producer and remixer who can start with whatever ya throw him and delivers fantastic results. Part of delivering those distinct results, is maintaining his mainline connection to the street – whether it’s his residencies in San Diego, Los Angeles, Kansas City, Denver, and Dallas or his special appearances at clubs in every other large city in America – he’s constantly experimenting with technology and music, absorbing fans’ responses for future output.
Dave Audé is the man that professionals turn to when they want amazing music. Dave’s chameleon-like skills allow him to succeed within any genre of music – from Pop to Rock, from Hip Hop to Electronic. The thing is, his methodology doesn’t change – be it remixing, producing, DJing or writing new tunes. Dave Audé is the consummate professional who delivers the goods every single time.
