The major buzz currently surrounding young Arveene is easy to explain, he has been hard at it since he was just 17 playing Dublin’s most seminal clubs, although only a nipper he showed huge promise from the off with a very dedicated and professional work ethic that set him apart from his peers, not to mention a natural flair for music and more importantly knowing what makes people rock without relying on big tunes and obvious choice records, in short.. he got the skills to pay the bills.
Lets take it to 2006…
Arveene makes the decision to get into the studio and start making his own music, he knocks out 2 bootlegs and suddenly the world is listening. Tours with The Prodigy and blows the place away every time. Soulwax get wind of the new kid on the block and ask him to join them on their stage at Hi Fi UK. Gets offered a residency in The End after his debut performance, plays there for Underwater, Bugged Out and Erol Alkan, things move up a level.
After a series of club dates across UK and Europe he founded music collective Clampdown which is primarily about good music from all genres in various venues, the emphasis is on quality and not current trends or fads. Clampdown hits London's famous Lock Tavern in Camden with a bang, first party had Arveene, Andrew Weatherall, James Lavelle and David Holmes rocking the rafters, attendees included Primal Scream, Radioslave, Dave Dorrell and Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich (all dancing)
Opens for the Prodigy at Hi Fi Ireland and finishes set with his own brand new mash up of Rage against the Machine, 20,000 people go nuts! We have it on video and it rocks. Daft Punk request him as their opening act at Irelands show at Marlay park, the show is historic and he played a blinder...the saga continues
Peeps and press quotes

-The Star
“Arveene warmed up for me in Dublin and London a couple of times, and did exactly what a great DJ should do; kept me looking over to find out what certain records were and built the room perfectly. One for the future, Arveene is on it”
