Mario Arend is an Amsterdam-based DJ, producer and songwriter whose music lives between emotional Melodic House, Deep House and Progressive House.

For Mario, a DJ set is not a sequence of individual tracks. It is a story. His sets move through hypnosis, melody, groove, tension and release, creating the conditions for a dance floor to feel connected and fully present. His artistic aim is simple: people should leave the dance floor feeling more open, more alive and more like themselves than before.

In 2026, Mario performed a 90-minute international DJ set at Club Aldiana Naga Bay in Egypt, played Hunkering Amsterdam Pride at Generator Amsterdam and delivered a sold-out performance at Maison Glamsterdam. He was also selected for the Tour Music Fest 2026 European Live Audition Tour in Amsterdam.

His releases include MOYO, AMARA, BOUBA, Spread The Peace and ALMAS, a collaboration with DJ Orbys released through ZAMA Music. Together, these productions reflect the same identity found in his DJ sets: warm melodies, emotional storytelling and music created for a dance floor that still feels human.

Mario is available for clubs, rooftops, sunset stages, boutique venues, festivals and curated Melodic House showcases.
