Aril Brikha was born in Iran with Assyrian ancestry and he emigrated to the Scandinavian country at three. Today the producer is living in Stockholm where he demonstrated his musicality early - with his parents nurturing his talent. Aril began composing on his own at the age of 16. He entered the world of electronic music by listening to the likes of Depeche Mode, Front 242 and Jean Michel Jarre before discovering the more futuristic sounds of people like Robert Hood and Underground Resistance. Aril Brikha disseminated his earliest material on Swedish imprints - Dunkla, Plump, and Placktown - but realizing that his music wasn't what the local labels were seeking, he looked out for fresh label imprints. Aril obtained the addresses of three independent companies - among them Derrick May's Transmat Records - and posted out demos. Derrick May released 1998 "The Art Of Vengeance EP" featuring the track "Groove La Chord" on his Fragile record label and was playing it all around the world. Is it techno? Is it house? Is it deep house? It's everything and nothing. "Groove La Chord" is simply timeless. No one was more surprised about the success of "Groove La Chord" than Brikha himself - after all, he'd originally presented it on his demo as a potential B-side. Since forging an alliance with Transmat, Brikha, celebrated as the new star of deep techno, has toured solidly with his live show, playing everywhere from the inaugural DEMF (Detroit Electronic Music Festival) to in-vogue clubs like London's Fabric and Tokyo’s Air and Yellow.
