Going Up Forever Laura

Next up we bring you Darien J a producer, curator and mixer of deep atmospheric club music. He has a firm belief that dance music is for dancing not chin scratching, foot gazing, ego stroking or selfie taking. Darien constantly absorbs wide-ranging influences and like a musical sponge is wrung out on radio stations and dancefloors around the world.

Totally ignoring genre limitations he manages to combine elements from the deepest side of house, electronica and techno in both his DJ sets and productions.

Since his debut release of The Dubstar EP on Cubism Records in 2008 his skills in the studio have improved in equal but opposite measure. His latest releases can be described as sounding like ‘the abandoned love child of a twisted love triangle between Olivier Giacomotto, Stephan Bodzin and Solomon’. 

Over the last few years Darien’s music has found homes on trendy labels like Motek, Submarine Vibes, Inside Out and Chapter 24. 

Throughout 2021 he started to self-release one track every week that was made available free to fans who subscribe to his newsletter the week before general release.

We caught up with Darien to find out more.

ABOUT OUR GUEST

"Darien J, based in Brighton UK, is a performer, curator, and mixer of deep dance music. He has a firm belief that his music is for dancing not chin-scratching, foot-gazing, ego-stroking, or selfie-taking. Like a musical sponge, Darien constantly absorbs wide-ranging influences and is wrung out on radio stations and dance floors around the world. Totally ignoring genre limitations, he manages to combine elements from the deepest side of house, electronica, and techno in both his live performances, DJ sets, and productions.

This kind of petulant behaviour might be expected from a young upstart new on the scene but believe it or not this is a veteran of over 20 years who has the dance moves to match. Since his debut release of The Dubstar EP on Cubism Records in 2008 his skills in the studio have improved in equal but opposite measure to the decrease in tempo of the music he is willing to dance to. His latest live project has been described as sounding like ‘the abandoned love child of a twisted love triangle of Stimming, Saytek and Kink’.

Over the years Darien’s music has found homes on other trendy labels like Motek, Submarine Vibes, Inside Out, Chapter 24, and Polyptych amongst others. Following a busy 2023 in the DJ booth supporting the likes of Prismode and Solvane, Dubspeeka, and Evil Tom, Darien has also been performing and recording his hardware-only live performances with a view to an album launch in 2024"

AKIVA | Beautifully Told 62 by Darien J [FREE DOWNLOAD]

After a stellar 2023, we are pleased to welcome in 2024, with none other than Darien J, who makes his long-awaited debut on Saturo Sounds, with a 4-track EP titled "Snowball Effect". 

Download: 
https://www.beatport.com/release/snowball-effect/4384623

He writes '"Three deep, non-generic groovers and an intro track designed to make your sets stand out. The title track is one of my favourites to date with its big sound and deep meaning."' 

The titular track is indeed a brooding groover with a darker, philosophical a capella layered on top, guaranteed to get the dance floor a-rocking. The second track "Basic Elements" picks things up a notch with a darker melodic element, while retaining the mysterious nature that is now an evident motif behind the EP. "Big Funky" lives up to its name with an immensely funky foundation reminiscent of a dance music record used to sound like when based solely on drum machines and sequencers. 

Finally, rounding out the release is the electronica number appropriately titled "Space Train" which can and should be used as an intro, outro, and DJ Tech Tool for any DJ set, live set, and/or podcast and mix.

Darien J, based in Brighton UK, is a producer, curator, and mixer of deep dance music. He has a firm belief that his music is for dancing not chin scratching, foot gazing, ego stroking or selfie taking. Like a musical sponge Darien constantly absorbs wide-ranging influences and is wrung out on radio stations and dancefloors around the world.

Totally ignoring genre limitations, he manages to combine elements from the deepest side of house, electronica and techno in both his DJ sets and productions. This kind of petulant behaviour might be expected from a young upstart new on the scene but believe it or not this is a veteran of over 20 years who has dance moves to match.

Since his debut release of The Dubstar EP on Cubism Records in 2008 his skills in the studio have improved in equal but opposite measure to the decrease in tempo of the music he is willing to dance to. His latest releases have been described as sounding like ‘the abandoned love child of a twisted love triangle of Olivier Giacomotto, Stephan Bodzin and Solomon’. 

Over the years Darien’s music has found homes on trendy labels like Motek, Submarine Vibes, Inside Out, Chapter 24 and melodic house and techno imprint Polyptych records based in St Petersburg.

In keeping with his DIY approach Darien completed a challenge to self-release one track every week in 2021 which can be found at https://darienjdj.bandcamp.com/

Residencies in 2022 for weekly Friday event The Social Shift and the monthly MIN:Animal parties alongside guest appearances for fellow Brighton promotions, Berlin-Brighton, Size and G3t Loo5e. 

Forthcoming releases in 2023 include EPs on Sound Vessel Recordings and Saturo Sounds with plenty more to come.

There’s also rumours he’s been working like a mad scientist in a dark room on a brand new live performance setup so watch this space…
