I've always known this, and I've also always known the actual meaning of the word Aria, which is why I'm perplexed to a certain extent.

The definition of Aria is "a solo vocal piece with instrumental accompaniment, as in an opera."

What does this have to do with Electronica, or even after-hours? Is the DJ supposed to be the "vocalist" that plays "solo" with an instrumental background?

Maybe i'm metaphorically dumb, mais j'y comprends pas, ostie!

I was also wondering why Aria's own info line pronounces it "AREA". Fix that shit!

it also mean

"a striking solo performance"

Maybe by definition it's that, but it can also be just a single melody.

I'm proud to say I've always pronounced it right!

for sure, cause you have italian blood in ya

for the n00bs, aria originates from Italian.

Hah, i'm from Toronto/Cali and i've always pronounced it as "ah-ri-ahh". What threw me off was all of the local montrealers who called it "area". They almost had me believing that was the correct pronunciation, but i guess i'm just too stubborn

Aria

For those who can remember the 80's Toronto band the Spoons. They Had a song "Aria's and Symphonies" ...... singing along in harmony!
