A Time-Traveling Groove Machine From Another Dimension
Let’s get one thing straight: Arc De Soleil isn’t your average bedroom producer with a MIDI controller and a dream. Rather this is the sonic alter ego of Daniel Kadawatha—composer, producer, multi-instrumentalist, and possibly time traveler, still debating this one.
Raised on a diet of The Spotnicks and other twangy galactic cowboys from the golden age of space-age surf rock, young Daniel didn’t just listen—he absorbed. Picture this: a tiny Daniel vibing to his dad shredding Spotnicks licks through a homemade guitar amp that probably hummed like a Soviet satellite. That’s the kind of origin story Marvel wishes it had.

Fast forward past the awkward teen years and into full-blown musical enlightenment, and Arc De Soleil emerges—not with a bang, but with a wah-wah-drenched groove. It’s a delicious blend of vintage psych, funky soul, sitar swirls, and world-traveling vibes. Think The Shadows riding camels through Marrakesh while Khruangbin DJs the caravan. Yeah, that kind of trip.
The music? Oh, it slaps. In a slow-burn, back-of-your-neck-tingling kind of way. Guitar lines shimmer like heatwaves, the basslines are chunkier than a ’70s moustache, and the rhythms? Infectious enough to make your neighbour text “what is that track?” from the other side of the wall.
Arc De Soleil isn’t chasing trends. He’s busy digging up sonic fossils, polishing them with reverb, and sending them back into the world via a technicolor funk prism. It’s nostalgic without being dusty, exotic without being gimmicky, and effortlessly cool without even trying (seriously, it’s unfair).
If you like your music with a side of cinematic flair, a sprinkle of global spice, and a whole lotta groove, Arc De Soleil might just be your new obsession. And if not? Well, your loss. He’ll be busy soundtracking sunsets somewhere on the astral plane.
