Melodic, groovy and organic sounds! That’s the sound of Arthaum.
When Arthaum was 15 he got his hands on his first DJ-tool Atomix MP3. With this he developed his passion for electronic dance music. Upgrading his tools as he got older he more and more developed a taste for organic sounding house music, with streaks of melodic and progressive vibes.
Being no stranger to Amsterdam nightlife, DJ-ing scratched a musical itch. But Arthaum wanted more: to actually produce the tracks that he wanted to listen to, endlessly on repeat.
While in the past years partying grinded to a halt due to covid, it provided time to learn how to produce music and to develop his taste. This resulted in his debut EP Acoustic Impedance, two groovy melodic house tracks.
Besides spending time in the studio, Arthaum also works as a geologist. This explains his track titles: they’re all terms used in geology!

It’s all about the groove! Inspired by producers like Eli Nissan, Tim Green and Bije, Arthaum wanted to venture more into the realm of groovy, organic house. The whole idea was to keep the track simple, hence its name Deconvolution.
The tracks started very basic with just a kick, clap and a hihat. After that it was straight to find a catchy, groovy bass rhythm. Once the bass was established, most of the time was actually spend in experimenting with different sampled instruments to produce a hypnotic, recurring motif which can be heard throughout the whole track. Once that musical idea (finally) formed (featuring a sampled Egyptian saz and an electric guitar), the rest of the track seemed to come together very easy. The drums are kept to a minimum, to leave room for the kick and the groove. The flute-sounding lead sound stays interesting throughout the track and doesn’t play exactly the same notes anywhere in the track. All in all the track took a few weeks to come together. Enjoy!
