History
Career under the Stage Name Stan Arwell (2013–16)
Kaion (aka Stan Arwell) first became interested in electronic dance music while in high school, when he started creating his first mixes. This interest later turned into the desire to create his own radio show, Reboot Radio, the first episode of which was broadcast in 2013 on Diesel.FM. Reboot Radio attracted a number of listeners and was also offered a time slot on A.Plus Radio, the largest internet radio in Belarus.
In 2014, Stan released his first single, “Flight to Miami,” on a prominent Swedish record label, Macarize. Stan’s first release was supported by such artists as Myon & Shane 54, Ruben De Ronde, Gareth Emery, Roger Shah, JES, and many others. In the same year, “Flight to Miami” became part of JES’s “Unleash the Beat – Blonde” compilation, released on Black Hole Recordings/Magik Muzik.
Stan’s eight subsequent tracks, including remixes, were released on Macarize. “Outburst” was one of the most supported tracks of his. It was broadcast five times on Above & Beyond’s Group Therapy radio show and was supported by such artists as ATB, 3LAU, Myon & Shane 54, Ben Gold, Beat Service, Tom Fall, and others. ATB & Rudee used the track during their concerts and music festivals. In 2015, “Outburst” was included in another JES’s Unleash the Beat Vol. 3 compilation, released on Black Hole Recordings/Magik Muzik. Stan’s other track, ‘Memories,’ was played by Above & Beyond during their Group Therapy podcast twice, apart from receiving support from many prominent artists.
One of the most supported tracks was "Froya," released in 2015. It was supported by Above & Beyond three times, after which Stan was invited to take part in the group’s Group Therapy radio show’s 143rd episode.
In 2015, Stan signed an exclusive songwriting contract with Armada Music. The same year, Stan released an official remix of Jochen Miller’s “Slow Down.” Next, Stan and the famous Ukrainian duo Ost & Meyer released their collaboration, “Flare,” which was premiered by Armin van Buuren in his 738th episode of A State Of Trance. The track was supported by Above & Beyond, David Guetta, Super8 & Tab, Alexander Popov, Cosmic Gate, Andy Moor, Lange, Grammy nominee Fatum, and many others.
