arwenvarda Wales DJ Arwenvarda. From her family origins in deepest Dorset and the Rhineland through the Celtic mists of the West Highlands to the magic lands of Merlin in West Wales, where she has lived almost all her life, Arwen has been immersed in music. From her parents’ hippie tastes and obsessions with self-sufficiency and sound systems she was exposed to a wealth of music ... Donovan to Dylan, Joni to Jimi and everything between. As a child she fell in love with Jean Michel Jarre’s Equinox, the beginning of a lifetime affair with Electronica. At an early age with family and friends she was involved with Blue Moon, Harvest Fair and early Glastonbury Festivals and met many musicians. A family visit to Germany took her to Nature One, a techno event where she was on stage with Jam & Spoon! Teenage years saw her at Big Love and Universe and in Tony Andrews’ experimental sound field at Glastonbury listening to Underworld. Inspired, she worked with SPACE for the next 25 years doing production, UV décor and playing techno and chill- out. She has done a huge number of events with SPACE, the Pedal Power Stage in the Glastonbury Green Fields, Templehead, Big Chill, Club Dog, Megadog and Solfest with Michael Dog alongside Steve Hillage’s System 7, Merv’s Eatstatic, Platipus Sound System, The Orb, Ninja Tunes’ Matt Black and Mixmaster Morris. She has been deeply involved in the German electro scene and worked on english language translations for Sven Vath’s Cocoon label, visiting the then Frankfurt Club many times. More recently she has been learning with Freedom Engine Academy’s Matthew Johnson (wagon Repair) to make her own electronic music. Her most recent performance was at Unearthed Festival in Pembrokeshire. arwenvarda’s tracks Electric Disc’O’Tech by arwenvarda published on 2024-03-11T21:58:47Z Arwenvarda • For The Love Of Music • Ambient Autumn 2023 by arwenvarda published on 2023-12-04T23:18:26Z Arwenvarda Live mix from Cosmic Cwtch at UNEARTHED Festival by arwenvarda published on 2023-07-05T14:17:21Z Arwenvarda Live DJ mix warm up set for Kosheen :-) by arwenvarda published on 2023-04-22T13:54:14Z Arwenvarda Here’s some beach music just for you 🖤 by arwenvarda published on 2023-01-24T19:44:45Z Arwenvarda Live mix for Templehead Live Stream by arwenvarda published on 2023-02-03T13:14:56Z Arwenvarda Live mix from Into The Groove Festival 2022 by arwenvarda published on 2022-10-02T19:20:07Z
