MEET THE MAIN MAN, ARTWELL

State of The Art radio was created by renowned and loved DJ Dat Man Artwell, born out of a true love for feel good radio and music that evokes memories of the past and creates new ones of tomorrow.

Otherwise known as Arty, he has been a prolific DJ on the Bournemouth clubbing scene for thirty six years. Arty made his DJing debut in the early ‘80s and went on to build up a following  across the globe. A Stalwart of the local clubbing scene due to his impeccable style, infectious personality and love for music – it is no wonder that Artwell is known for filling the dance floor wherever he spins the tunes. “When I was 20 years old, I put a microphone into a stack system and pretended I was a radio DJ, making tapes for all of my friends whilst playing Soul music. Thirty six years on I am living the dream – reaching as many of my fans as possible through the global pandemic, playing tunes I know people will love.”
