We are over the moon for this, our biggest guest mix so far! We’ve been fans of Ruben’s for years now. His tracks and remixes are obligatory references in the gigs we play and the sets we mix. Meeting him in person at ADE last year was a treat and such a chill experience at the same time.

@rubenkarapetyan_music is a proud Armenian born in Yerevan & raised in Los Angeles, California. A veteran DJ who got his first pair of decks 3 decades back, he has been influenced by the ‘90s rave movement, as well as top notch pioneers of the Electronic Music industry such as Sasha, John Digweed, and Nick Warren amongst others!

Dubbed as Armenia’s Top Electronic export back from the late ‘90s by Zrutsaser, one of the biggest Music/Entertainment magazines at that time in Armenia, getting him on their front-cover, while previously hosting musicians & artists such as Madonna, Eminem, ao..!

In 2020 Ruben’s name got known to the modern electronic music industry with a signing on Greek imprint Movement Recordings, receiving massive remix treatment by heroes of Progressive House such as Stan Kolev & Emi Galvan in his ‘Gignesthai’ single that came in November, while his 2nd release entitled 'Hathor' including remixes by Matan Caspi & Stan Kolev reached #1 on Beatport’s Top10 prog releases. In 2021 Ruben signed with UK-based Lowbit Records with ‘Teardrop’ & ‘Karo’ following in Spring 2021 with remix treatment by Paul Angelo & Don Argento, and Alfonso Muchacho.

Since that time, he’s been a mainstay on labels like @themangoalley, @uv_musicofc, @3rdavenuelabel, @onedotsixtwo, @univackrecords, @transensations_records, @droid9recordings, @meanwhile_recordings… in addition to now running his own label, @rkp_records.

Close your eyes and enjoy the ride. 😊
