Artem Stolyarov, or Arty for short, is one of a rising breed of Russian trance producers now starting to make their mark on the scene.
The Moscow-based producer's tracks pop up all over the place, although it's probably with the succession of vinyl he's delivered on the Anjunabeats label that he's most closely associated.
This year, his clean, uplifting sound has made him new friends in both the pure trance and house fanbases, no small part of which was down to another fan, one Ferry Corsten, picking up on a track he made under another of his alter egos, Alpha 9.

There are several musical acts with the name Crossroads including a heavy metal band, a bluegrass band and a barbershop quartet. The correct tag for Russian blues band is Crossroadz.

There are at least 7 bands with the name Stigmata: 1) A heavy metal band from Sri Lanka 2) a metallic hardcore band from Troy New York; 3) Russian deathcore band; 4) a hard rock band from Nebraska; 5) one of Benn Jordan's pseudonyms; 6) an alias of German techno producer Chris Liebing; and 7) an Austrian power metal band now known as Stygma IV: 1Metal metalcore/alternative metal band, formed in 2003 in Saint Petersburg.
