ARKADYAN Take Raluka’s ‘Amsterdam’ Straight to the Dancefloor

What happens when a Balkan pop anthem gets a club-ready makeover?

ARKADYAN have the answer, flipping Raluka’s ‘Amsterdam’ into a late-night weapon that’s already heating up sets worldwide. The international trio, Benjy on percussion, Gabriel on trumpet, and Marina on the decks, bring their signature mix of tribal percussion, deep horn grooves, and afro-house energy, turning the radio-friendly original into a festival-fuelled banger.

Formed in 2019, ARKADYAN has earned a reputation for genre-blending live sets, mashing up jazz, afro, reggae, salsa, and house with a raw, organic touch. Their sound has found a home everywhere, from the iconic beaches of Scorpios Mykonos to the late-night madness of Tomorrowland and Tulum. The trio’s take on ‘Amsterdam’ strips back the pop shine, giving Raluka’s powerhouse vocal a fresh, hypnotic bounce, perfect for warehouse sessions and sun-drenched rooftops alike.

And they’re only just warming up. With dates in Bucharest and Sibiu lined up for May, marking a homecoming of sorts for both ARKADYAN and Raluka, the trio’s blend of live instrumentation and deep dancefloor grooves is set to make an even bigger mark.

Out now on ROTON Records, this is one you’ll want in your crate. Stream it, spin it, and let ARKADYAN take you straight to ‘Amsterdam.’
