Biography

Since his discovery in 2006, French DJ/Producer Arno Cost, quickly moulded his reputation into 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 David Guetta, Axwell, Avicii, Tiesto, Pete Tong and Sebastian Ingrosso to name a few.

Arno Cost’s talent has stemmed from exposure to music at 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 in France. Arno’s name was lavished with a great deal more attention in 2006 following the release of his first smash hit, ‘Magenta’ which he produced alongside Arias. Pete Tong and Axwell’s respect for the elegantly crafted track was no secret, and with an arresting rework from Dave Spoon, ‘Magenta’ became something of a DJs secret weapon all over the world. Arno’s next Cr2 release was 2007’s ‘Apocalypse’ with Norman Doray; a heady concoction of sweeping house rhythms and thumping beats. With no doubt as to the potency of Arno’s partnership with production buddy Norman Doray, the status of France’s answer to the Swedish House Mafia is one increasingly linked to the Parisian contingent. Since then Arno has been called on to remix many artists like Moby, Goldfrapp, David Guetta, Laidback luke etc…
