French producer/ DJ and musician Viken Arman is back on the scene with the drop of his latest single, ‘Lonely Raver’. The new cut is the first to stem from his incoming album ‘Alone Together’, which is scheduled for release via !K7 on September 29th, 2023.
Arman’s ‘Alone Together’ is set to be comprised of 9 new original tracks, as the artist channels influence that draws from “masterful beats of J Dilla, the hypnotic grooves of Ricardo Villalobos, the Free Jazz spirit of Sun Ra and the aura of French house.”
“‘Lonely Raver’ embodies a transformative phase in my musical journey, as I delve into the intricate facets of my diverse artistic personality. The track was born from the unforgettable experience of a Berlin party, where I found myself immersed in nostalgic emotions being the last person standing on the dancefloor—the embodiment of the lonely raver I once was. I resurrected my trusty MPC 2000 XL to craft this track. Embracing the purity of analog machinery, I sought to preserve the authenticity of the sound, keeping dusty noises and eschewing digital elements entirely. As the first single of my album, it serves as a compass, guiding the way towards a new direction in my career,” explains Viken Arman about the new drop.
