OBSCUUR session #2: ARMAN JOHN
OBSCUUR session #2 is a 62-minute DJ set from ARMAN JOHN, recorded in Amsterdam and live on the OBSCUUR YouTube channel. Watch it on the session page.
Who is ARMAN JOHN?
ARMAN JOHN started producing more than eight years ago. He had only been DJing for a few months when he realised he wanted to make his own tracks. The first time he opened Ableton, he was hooked.
He learned mostly from YouTube tutorials and by playing around, and that route got him to where he is now. You can find him on Instagram at @arman_john.
What inspires ARMAN JOHN’s sound?
His answer is simple: listen to new music. Hear a track with a good synth, think “maybe I can try that myself”, then start experimenting.
He draws on a lot of artists and genres, so he struggles to name one source. The one influence he does name is the euro dance sound of the 90s.
What are the OBSCUUR sessions?
One DJ, one hour, recorded in Amsterdam, every week. Session #2 is the second in the 2026 run, and it runs a little over the hour at 62 minutes.
Set aside the full 62 minutes, put it on a proper system and see where a euro dance heart leads.
