Ari Virtanen (aka E-NRG) has been DJing seriously since late 90s, when he purchased a pair of 1200s and spent all his money on vinyls. Since then he has already played in dozens of events in all the major cities of Finland, alongside all top national DJs and some international guests. He has played abroad once in London and twice in Australia.

He started by spinning dark hard-nrg from artists like Lab 4, Karim, Choci, and Captain Tinrib. After 2000 he developed his style along a more melodic and emotional direction while still keeping the fast pace and hard-edged elements of his sets. Currently his freeform sets are influenced by Carbon Based, Alek Száhala, Pain on Creation, Re-form, DJ RX, Kevin Energy, Sharkey, Oli G and Mexican. E-NRG has recently played many techno and hard dance sets in Finland. Techno sets are influenced by Dave the Drummer, Alex Calver and Oliver Klitzing just to name a few.

He is a full member of Carbon Based and CB studios in Lahti. In addition to DJing he tours with Carbon Based, develops the Finnish  freeform scene and recruits new talents for their labels FINRG and FINRG Hard. His future will involve more touring, more producing, more experiencing, and more enjoying life.
