ABOUT
A life built on rhythm.
Two-time Asia Salsa Solo Champion who learned to LISTEN WITH HIS BODY as much as his ears — and built an entire world around the feeling of music in motion.
From the social floors of Chennai to studios across Austria, Arun has spent years studying the pauses, the tension, the release and the embrace that make a dance come alive. That understanding now lives in everything he does — the way he teaches, the music he produces, and the words he writes.
He works across continents and disciplines, but it all points back to one idea: movement, connection, and the stories rhythm can tell.

THE BOOK
Rhythm of the Barrio
A chronological history of Salsa music — tracing it from its roots in the barrio all the way to the global dancefloor. The story of a sound, told for the people who move to it.
Read the book ↗THE LABEL
Salsa Madras Music.
An independent label born on the dance floor — original music rooted in Salsa, Bachata and Kizomba culture.
"These songs are not made to follow trends. They are made to be FELT, SHARED, AND DANCED."
Created by someone who has spent years listening with his body — every track carries the pauses, the tension, the release and the embrace. Music that lives on the dance floor, but stays with you long after the song ends.
