AARK is a Brussels-based DJ, producer, and sound engineer whose sets explore the space between control and chaos. Known for sculpting cold, vivid soundscapes, he blends industrial textures, broken rhythms, and hypnotic tension into something strange, alive, and deeply physical. His music doesn’t beg for attention, it pulls you in slowly and keeps you there.
With a background as a sound engineer at Fuse for over five years, AARK has been embedded in the heart of Belgium’s electronic scene, surrounded by some of the sharpest artists and systems in the country. That experience sharpened his ear for detail and taught him what really moves a room. Not just sonically, but emotionally.
In the studio, he works almost entirely with hardware: drum machines, synths, samplers, pedals. He’s not chasing clean or trendy, he’s chasing movement, pressure, and textures that feel raw and unpredictable. His production process is about sound as matter: shaping, distorting, letting it break where it needs to.
Influenced by artists like Umwelt, Tzusing, and Oscar Mulero, and labels like Mord, Semantica, PoleGroup. His style pulls from late-90s and early-2000s energy while staying rooted in a contemporary experimental mindset. His aesthetic reflects that too: stripped-down visuals, muted tones, fractured shapes, and the feeling of something slightly off.
AARK favors deep tension over fast gratification. He thrives in dark, intimate venues with proper sound, lots of smoke, and space for heads-down listening. He’s currently developing a live hardware set that builds on the same ideas, sound that's sculpted and felt.
