Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
I'm Aryo Arifuddin or also known as Aryo Locos. I am a student who also pursue the music world. I am a keyboardist and sequencer in a band called 24/7, a dj and music producer. I started plunging into the electronics world since 2014 when some of my friends introduced me to progressive house music and dubstep. Started from there, I began learning to use cdj and in 2015, I started making my own songs and finally in 2016, I released my first single called 'starry eyes ', this future bass song became my bridge to the upcoming release of the song entitled ' petrichor ' which is this song joined in a compilation entitled ' Destination ' included with some seasoned producers such as cutoffdepth, Regals, Innerlight and Ari Hamzah (ex. former of Endak Soekamti). In 2017, I released a song that also incorporated in a compilation titled Mahesounds volume 1 with the title song 'Cry'.
How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
The influences of the idol on me, in the early years, I tried to find a genre that is fit with me, from listening to producers of progressive house and electro like david guetta, zedd, alesso, tiesto to dubstep like skrillex, cesqeaux, virtual riot, zomboy, excision and also getter. Then, 2 years passed in full sense of exploring further, finally I put myself on the music that it looks loud but still can be sung, I finally chose the future bass as a destination, some references such as san holo, flume, pusher, vindata and also mija made me inspired to make a future bass music. Today, though, I keep my ears open to other music genres as a references in my music development.
What´s new right now?
In a few weeks, I will release a remixes compilation of my song titled 'Petrichor'. There are 10 local producers who are included on this EP and it will be worth to wait. These remixes are also accompanied by the visual video on YouTube, so just wait!
