@darcyjustice
Long time friend and longtime party-goer Darcy Justice, has made waves and shaken more than a few booties since her swift transition from dancefloor to in demand DJ some years ago. As a Butter Sessions staple, ex Lucid at Lounge (RIP) resident and host of beautifully curated Hope St Radio show ‘Moody’ it’s no wonder why she was invited for a return trip to the Inner Varnika stage. Although she shines when the tempo is low and the energy is high, Darcy moves effortlessly between genres - from rnb to rave, slow-mo-techno to soul. It’s the latter that brings it all together, her one of a kind presence bringing calm and control to all within her path. Bringing tranquility to the both, Darcy Justice has the opposite effect on any dancefloor. It’s my pleasure to have finally invited Darcy to PBS for a double header line up, sharing the airwaves with IV Drip to celebrate IWD and 2 years of Passing Notes.

Crisp Connection w. Darcy Justice - 5 October 2021

Darcy (Melbourne) has been a staple at Butter Sessions parties for a while now not to mention holding down a residency at Lucid @ Lounge and a regular guest at the infamous Spin Club. 
We're delighted to host over an hour of chuggers and movers for the 68th Butter Mix, sit back and listen to the sounds of Justice!

Butter Mix #68 - Darcy Justice

"This mix was recorded in my lounge room in Melbourne. All the music is Australian artists, some old and some contemporary. Some dub sounds, ambient, post punk and dance. Australia has such a plethora of amazing music and this is just a small taste of it. Hope you enjoy!"

Nicholas Ure aka Nicola Sure (@nicolasure), just started a new label Southern Exposure Records (@southernexposurerecords). The first release, Warrandyte Bridge Reno is by local, Jon Jones. Two of his tracks feature in this mix, including one off the EP.

HOCast #28 - Southern Exposure Records

Test subject 1.13 @darcyjustice embarks on a lonely mission to uncover the mysteries of a planet not too distant from our own. Fraught with peril and danger, this solo journey slows as Darcy engages with extraterrestrial life... "...they lead me back to their city. I’m scared but when I arrive there is a parade in my honour, they are celebrating my arrival. I am welcomed, it’s better than Earth already."

"It was an interesting concept to use an image as inspiration for a mix . It definitely changed my creative process. I used the image to create a landscape, then created a narrative to go along with it. The visual stimulus made me think of the images Curiosity Rover has been sending back from Mars (worth checking out https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/msl/images/index.html). I think about space a bit, but not too much. There is more than enough to think about here on earth. I imagined that I was piloting a ship to mars, it was a long, dangerous and ultimately lonely journey. I make it to mars and begin my exploration. I come across another life form, they lead me back to their city. I’m scared but when I arrive there is a parade in my honour, they are celebrating my arrival. I am welcomed, it’s better than Earth already." - Darcy Justice on engaging with the given stimulus.

Next up is @darcyjustice, a staple across Melbourne lineups and festivals. Famous for her killer chuggers, this mix is no exception... We highly advise you catch Darcy live at the upcoming 10 years of Butter Sessions party.

MIX 26: Darcy Justice

For home use only’ is an anti-club social, a chance to get to know someone/something. A series of transmissions purely dedicated to exploring the other side.

Welcome back friends, new and old. You are about to tune into another segment of ‘get to know the DJ’ and this week's guest is, the formidable Darcy Justice! A star on the rise, her taste and aesthetic years beyond her, her set at IV19 (IV will be back! I promise) is a personal highlight of mine (which is immortalised as Butter Sessions #83 TIP!!!) her consistent A+ output on Hope Street Radio, and a mess of other mix’s she’s put out are all of a high caliber. When she can serve music fresh to the public again there will be nothing that can stop her. 

The mix! Fuck! It's beautiful! 2 hours of absolute power, shifting from weight to weight and actually mixing tracks (RIP), the ebb of the grounding and flow of the joy is absolutely immaculate. Within the first 4 tracks, you can get a gauge of what’s to come, nostalgic banger’s through fresh eyes mixed in with pulsing beautiful neo-soul. The rhythmic throb throughout works not only as a slingshot,  but it also relieves tension through the comfortability of the all known pace of life and the dance floor we ever so miss. The mix comes perfectly with the shift into nicer weather and hopefully with the chance to see your friends, eat with your friends, dance with your friends. The perfect backyard picnic soundtrack, hopefully, gets a run at every kick on over summer. I’ll leave the rest up to you. 

Be well, enjoy what you can, and be grateful for what you got. Hug ya mates as soon as you can.

Her words >> Thanks again for having me.  This was my little project while lockdown was going on. Felt great to complete it and turned out better than I thought. Restored my faith in just preserving and not overthinking it! Cos Jesus, I was sometimes. I had heaps of fun. Glad to know my mix will be alongside so many other superstars too.

FHUO # 46 // Darcy Justice

A3K001 Jon Jones - November 2nd, 2020

Melbourne is currently brimming with a host of credible and exciting DJ crews. Not many stand taller than Melt (@meltmelbourne), a DJ series and events crew hosting some of the city’s best up-and-coming DJs and producers. Feline Fine is one of the Melt curators, a DJ making a name for himself with a unique brand of dance music that is equal doses psychedelic and brooding. His mixes are rooted in an old-school aesthetic, yet is fresh enough to feel futuristic. Ahead of his performance at the next React event, we are delighted to showcase a DJ that everyone should keep an eye (ear) on.
