Arpy Brown

Renowned for cleverly fusing different musical influences into timeless contemporary jams, Arpy Brown (aka Athlete Whippet) is the musical moniker of Robin Paul Braum. Spread across Berlin and London he's become an integral part of both cities’ scenes in recent years with releases and remixes for the likes of Toy Tonics, Aus Music, Rhythm Section and Kitsuné Musique.

2024 has seen Arpy Brown take his joyful, high energy sets that combine club music’s intensity with the charm and intricacy of none-electronic, organic music, to stages across mainland Europe, the UK and as far as Australia and New Zealand.

Taking a communal approach to music making, Robin co-founded Athlete Whippet together with long-term friend and collaborator Aviram Barath, who he co-ran artist collective and record label squareglass with at the time. In line with this ethos, he's also been hosting intimate nights with DJs from far across the electronic music ecosystem since 2019. Guest sets from the likes of Seb Wildblood, Jitwam, Rebecca Vasmant, Fouk, Amy Dabbs, Hidden Spheres, Will Saul and some of the scene's brightest new talents have made for some unmissable parties in London's and Berlin's cosiest venues.

Arpy Brown's releases have also come with reworks from Ross from Friends, Baltra and Max Graef and have been supported by the likes of BBC Radio 1, BBC 6 Music, Mixmag, DJ Mag and Resident Advisor.
