11. "Arc" was created around 2006-2007 by Artificial Dreamer (Jimmy Batista) & Douglas Hazelwood. They released their first release on Neuroscience Recordings entitled "Scrunchies", and build there unique style onto there second ep with a track called "Limin". Everything after Limin continued to build the future for Arc and in the Summer of 2008, they launched "Dangerbox Recordings." Aside from them releasing on their Imprint they had releases lined up, from upcoming talent and production buddies. Dangerbox has made a great impression in todays trance/progressive/electro house scene with big DJ Support from Tiesto, Ferry Corsten, Markus Shultz, Above & Beyond, Mike Shivers, & Ronski Speed to name a few, and still with more to come the label is taking the trance genre and filthing it in a whole new direction. Some of Arc's Productions can vary in style, nothings always the same but its a fresh new melodic sound with a dirty bassline rumbling.
