Arreliari is now available on BandV2

The mixed version of my first full length album “Arreliari”* is now available on the new music shop website BandV2.com

Why this is awesome:
1. All of the tracks are in high quality 320kbps MP3 format.
2. This version of the album is not professionally mastered (like the iTunes version) but is studio mixed by me, so you can hear the music in the same way I intended it to be heard.
3. BandV2 only takes a 14% cut from sales, so I wind up getting 86% of the $ you pay for my music which is why all of the tracks are priced below iTunes (just $.49 each, the whole album is less than $3.50!)

100% of profits from album and track sales go to improving my music software and hardware!

*This version of the album does not include amazing remixes by axisONE, Draconum and Alex Biagi (these are exclusive to the professionally mastered iTunes version) – I encourage you to check that out, as well. (You can find more info on this version just a couple of posts below.)

New Release: Radio Jesus – Everybody Knows (Sonaris D&B Rmx)

The InternetDJ.com Winter 2010 remix competition has completed. Even though I didn’t place in the top three, I’d still like to share my entry from the competition, with you. It’s my third drum & bass production, and I am rather proud of it. The version I’m posting for you is slightly edited from the version I submitted to the competition.  Namely, I’ve updated the mix to make it even more crisp, I’ve increased the tempo by 5 bpm to 165 and I’ve added more percussion.

Check it out and enjoy!

You can listen to it on Soundcloud or iDJ.

Also, if you’re interested in hearing the original track, you can find it here.

My full-length album – Arreliari – is out on iTunes, JunoDownload & DJDownload!


It’s been a long time coming, but it’s finally done and ready for your enjoyment! I started work on this album midway through 2009 – and – a little over a year later, I am proud to present you with my first ever full-length electronic [dance] music album – Arreliari.

Sonaris - Arreliari Album Cover

Inspired by various events in the past year, this album is an eclectic compilation of progressive house vibes, electro house basslines, trancey melodies and general feel-good awesomeness – suitable for many moods. A few of the tracks on the album are ones which have been publicly released previously, but are now remastered by a big name studio in NYC, and made to sound even more awesome, for your listening pleasure. All other tracks on the album are totally unheard before originals, which I think – and hope – you’ll enjoy. As an added bonus, I was very lucky to have exclusive remixes done by axisONE, Draconum and Alex Biagi (all from the Addictive Vibe Records crew) included on the album. (The axisONE remix of Sputnik was featured on the world-renowned Beta Nightclub‘s “Homegrown” compilation earlier this year – along with some heavy-hitting tracks from other talented producers).

The album is also inspired by many people, and I couldn’t have finished this project without the support of those around me, and those reaching out to me through the internets. I greatly appreciate all your input, feedback and criticism. All (100%) of the proceeds from this album will go toward improving my music software, and hardware upgrades. I know that pretty much anyone can find and download the album for free, and I won’t try to stop you from doing so, but please realize that making music is a time-consuming task and, no matter how much I love the process – and hate to have to admit this – it can be a somewhat expensive endeavor, as well. So, for those of you who pick up a copy of the album from iTunes, or any other online store… thank you for supporting my habit.

Last but definitely not least… enjoy the music!
