Arty is set to release his highly anticipated debut album next year and the lead single, “Up All Night,” which features vocals by Angel Taylor, has been capturing the hearts of dance music enthusiast across the globe. This album has been the main focus of Arty’s life over the last year. He told Billboard back in July, “this is the most exciting time in my life as a musician. The whole process of making this album has been an amazing learning experience.”

The 25 year old Russian, who was the first artist signed to Insomniac/Interscope Records, has been enjoying one of his best years to date. He has created remixes of hit records like Porter Robinson’s “Lionhearted” and London Grammar’s “Hey Now,” all while playing some of the worlds finest nightclubs and festivals. What more could you ask for? Most recently however, his rendition of One Republic’s “I Lived” hit iTunes e-shelves and has been making waves with over Soundcloud 500,00o plays in two months.

Though still, perhaps the most exciting news for Arty fans is the creation of his album. The details about this project have been hard to come by, but we can certainly tell you that Arty has been in the studio diligently working with the industry’s top songwriters/singers. Don’t worry, it’s coming. But for now you can look forward to more single releases, music videos, and tour dates before the end of this year.

As a special treat and thank you to fans for patiently waiting for Arty’s album, he shared with WhiteRaverRafting five records that have inspired him over the years. These tracks should serve as an idea of what Arty listens to in his free time. Dive into his selections below and don’t forget to check out the bonus tracks.
