Russian producer Arty is having a big month in music. The 22-year-old sonic savant just released “Open Space,” his new single for Anjunabeats, on June 18, and launches, “Together We Are,” his new weekly radio show for Sirius XM, beginning tomorrow, June 23.  Listen online at www.2getherweare.com.

In celebration of the “little Arty that could,” SoundCtrl picked his brain about music tech, apps and following your dream.

SoundCtrl – Favorite instrument? Why? Is there an app or software that sounds just as good?
Arty – Piano of course—I played for seven years in music school on this instrument, so there is no other option for me. There is no software that can sound the same or replace it and nothing that can convey a sense of touching the note.

SC – What’s the coolest app you’ve seen in the past six months?
Arty – Gross Beat in FL Studio. I love the way you can work with the sound using this little beast.

SC - If you could design your dream app, what would it be?
Arty – As a big fan of delays and reverbs, I would make some insane VST with crazy combined effects on output. But since I didn’t make it, I use FabFilter Timeless.

SC - First album you ever bought?
Arty – The Prodigy – “Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned”

SC Best piece of advice you ever got?
Arty – Follow your dream.

SC - Coolest piece of DJ equipment?
Arty – Pioneer EFX-1000

SC - Favorite headphones?
Arty – Sennheiser HD-25
