Sheik 'N' Beik // Andrew Grant / Nando / Mayssam / Varick

Born and raised in New York City, Fernando Arcieri always embraced his diverse background with pride. As the son of a prominent violin maker and the younger brother of a punk rock guitarist turned DJ and producer, his culturally rich upbringing was filled with musical influences.

While playing the Piano and Saxophone throughout his younger years, Nando's tastes grew more and more diverse as he got older. While New York hip hop acts like A Tribe Called Quest, Nas, Gang Starr, and Wu-Tang Clan claimed most of Nando's attention during his teenage years, he kept aware of all else that was taking shape outside of that genre.

Born and raised in New York City, Fernando Arcieri always embraced his diverse background with pride. As the son of a prominent violin maker and the younger brother of a punk rock guitarist turned DJ and producer, his culturally rich upbringing was filled with musical influences.

While playing the Piano and Saxophone throughout his younger years, Nando's tastes grew more and more diverse as he got older. While New York hip hop acts like A Tribe Called Quest, Nas, Gang Starr, and Wu-Tang Clan claimed most of Nando's attention during his teenage years, he kept aware of all else that was taking shape outside of that genre. Aside from the house and techno that his brother had first introduced him to, the artists that really caught his ear in the late 90's were Deep Dish, Sasha & Digweed, and Danny Tenaglia among others. From that point on, Nando's love for electronic music began to flourish.

Having spring boarded his career in Miami, Nando has moved dancefloors everywhere from Ibiza to NYC to the BPM Festival in Mexico. Although his sound is mainly comprised of non-commercial house and techno - whether the occasion calls for deep, pumping, melodic, percussive, funky, or techy grooves - Nando's love for music will never be adequately described in just a few words.


Merging the introspective melancholia of 90's alternative music with modern electronica, ethereal melodies on top of heavy, edgy synths and pulsing beats, best describes the music of Varick. Varick lyrically explores themes of advaita, non-duality, and enlightenment.

"...atmospheric electronic...reminiscent of a dronier and more epic version of early múm mixed with Radiohead and electro influences...Varick isn't here for the fun, but for the intensity and for the contemplation of life's mysteries..." - The Deli Magazine
