Arts the Beatdoctor (born in 1983 in Utrecht, Netherlands) started producing for emcees some years ago, only to decide he liked most of the tracks better without vocals. So he continued to develop his mostly instrumental style, and his warm sound and diverse yet ever dreamy style have since then gained in reputation. After doing several little projects (The QuadraphoniQuartet) and taking the battle honors that STW didn't claim, he released his half-instrumental EP Fragments on spring 2006, and also released his first solo-album.
