Los Angeles, CA — Updated March 2011

Voted 2nd of Top 10 DJs in Los Angeles according to The DJ List — Jan. 2010.

Since the explosion of electronic dance music in 1999, Arthur has been setting dance floors on fire in cities both near and far away.

For over seven years, he hosted and produced “The Division of Hardcore Samples”, which aired every Thursday night from 10PM-12AM PST on KUCI 88.9 FM (kuci.org) in Orange County, CA. He is most known for his work on the iconic station, exposing some of the world’s most incredible talents in the burgeoning trance and progressive house scenes to fans in OC.

In 2006, he joined forces with GIANT, one of Southern California’s premiere event production companies, to set up live remote broadcasts  directly from the venue. He is noted for spearheading productions which included the likes of Armin van Buuren, Dubfire (of Deep Dish), Miss Nine, Matthew Dekay, Marco Bailey, and Paolo Mojo. Listeners of his radio show were the first in Orange County to hear live, in-studio interviews with globally renowned DJs such as Above & Beyond’s Jonathan “Jono” Grant and Tony McGuinness, UK DJ and Producer Lange, trance vocalist and songwriter JES, and radio legend Swedish Egil of Groove Radio.

In 2010, Arthur moved on from his Thursday night slot at KUCI 88.9FM, guest-hosting special broadcasts on the “KUCI Hall of Fame Show” with revolving guest appearances by some of the most established names in the dance music industry.

In 2011, he helped launch two new dance stations on Clear Channel’s iHeartRadio, bringing together an incredible line-up of world-class artists on a single roster. Trancid Radio is currently home to artists such as Matt Darey, Solarstone, Tritonal, Paul Van Dyk, Bart Claessen, Randy Boyer, Fei-Fei, Lange,  Tyler Michaud, and Victor Dinaire.

As a DJ, Arthur has shared the stage with names such as Kenneth Thomas, Tritonal, JES, Aly & Fila, Lange, Rafael Frost, DJ Micro, Ronski Speed, Fei-Fei, Baby Anne, Dyloot, Dave Aude, and Dylan Rhymes. He has performed at venues all over the world in cities such as Los Angeles (Spundae/LMD/Circus), San Francisco, Las Vegas, Miami (WMC), Vancouver, and Leiden (The Netherlands).

In the world of radio, Arthur is regularly featured nationwide on SiriusXM satellite radio on Electric Area and Groove Radio International. He has been invited as guest DJ on countless stations including Vancouver’s CJSF 90.1FM, Atlantic City’s WLFR 91.7FM, WJHU 88.1FM in Baltimore, and internet stations such as DI.FM, ETN.FM, PLURlife, Global Dance Mission and many more.

Arthur has also produced mixes for Paul Oakenfold’s international radio show “Planet Perfecto”, syndicated by The Radio Department in the UK.

In the music production realm, he has seen heavy support of his remix/mash-up hybrid, Lange vs Marcos – Out of Reality (Arthur Galestian’s Out-of-this-World Bootleg), an electro-trance bomber which has traveled all around the world at electronic music festivals and nightclubs. For over two years, the track has seen consistent plays from the likes of Lange on his “Intercity” radio shows and live tour gigs,  in addition to  support on Armin van Buuren’s “A State of Trance” (episode 450), and Mark Sherry’s “Outburst” radio show (episode 162).

Never ceasing to experiment, Arthur took a foray into the techno domain and released a compilation called “Northern Lights” on the Aurora Music record label in 2010.

Supplementing his dedication to the dance music community, Arthur also has extensive experience working in commercial radio. He currently works for Clear Channel Media + Entertainment, handling multiple projects in the digital realm for syndication/production subsidiary Premiere Radio Networks. Arthur has also worked in the studio with Darren Rose and former MTV personality Kennedy on 98.7FM’s “Music in the Morning”. He also produced the mid-day show with Marco on 98.7FM, including the “Rewind At Noon”, featuring alternative rock tracks from the ’80s and ’90s.

With so many accomplishments to his name, it’s no wonder why Arthur has quickly become one of the most sought-after talents in electronic dance music.
