With worldwide influences from over the years the two DJ’s have created separate cd’s, which compliment each other brilliantly. The big exclusive which goes hand in hand with the album is their new reworked version of the huge track ‘Woz not Woz’, which was one of Cr2’s biggest selling records. This huge reworking features one of the biggest drops in a track this summer and is set to keep dance floors alive with their crowd’s hands uplifted.

With his musical sensibilities residing within the realms of electronica, disco and house, Arnos’ production and remix work has attracted praise from some of dance music’s most formidable figures, including Pete Tong, Tom Novy and Sebastian Ingrosso.
Arno’s big hit, which evidently put him on the ‘dance map’ came in 2006 in the form of the elegantly crafted smash hit ‘Magenta’, which he composed alongside Arias. Pete Tong and Tom Novy’s adoration of the track was no secret, and with an arresting rework from Dave Spoon, ‘Magenta’ became something of a DJs secret weapon the world over. It was in fact the most played tune at The Amsterdam Dance Event that year. With no doubt as to the potency of Arno’s partnership with production buddies Doray and de la Touche, the status as France’s answer to the Swedish House Mafia is one increasingly linked to the Parisian contingent. Arno has been called on to remix for Laidback Luke, David Guetta and Zoo Brazil’s ‘Kalle’ on Nero Records. Arno’s status as a major international DJ is gaining serious momentum having played shows at The Sydney Freedom Dance Festival and a Cr2 night at Matter in London. Most notably in late 2008, the famous radio station RADIO FG chose Arno to mix its new compilation CLUB FG, following on from David Guetta last year.
His partner in crime Norman Doray began his DJ career a few years previously to Arno in 2002. Proving to be a natural, just a year later Norman had secured residency at a club in Lille where he honed in on those expert skills we see today. By 2004 he was on the move, playing a number of clubs both on home turf and abroad, whilst making his first steps production wise too. In 2006, his first track ‘In the name of love’, a collaboration with friend Pierre De La Touche, was released on German label Starfunk Records.
Norman hasn’t looked back since doing collaborations with Arno and de la Touche and continues to produce solo material as well. His second solo single ‘Krystal’ was released September 2008 on CR2, Serial Records and We Play. This was followed closely by a collaboration with Tristan Garner called ‘Last forever’ signed to 17 labels worldwide and with a video produced in Shanghai China, this record projected Norman in to the production elite. Over 2009 the boys have enjoyed success together playing several times during the summer at David Guetta’s now globally acclaimed night ‘Fuck me I’m Famous’ held at Pacha Ibiza.
This compilation aims to showcase some older tracks from Cr2 as well as displaying fresh upfront records, which Norman and Arno are playing in the clubs today. Their take on ‘Woz not Woz’ is just one example of their creative abilities, which Cr2 are at the forefront of championing.
