Cesare vs Disorder & Dave Vega - Mindless

Label, booking agency & online record store

A seal of quality. It's the banner for a global network of friendships and creativity and - let's not forget - parties.
Made in Berlin. International. One of the most polyphonic chords ever struck by an electronic music label: Techno, Electronica, Indie, IDM, Pop, Beats, Song Writing. 
What matters is music that moves: bodies, spirits, emotions.

Darwin Jiménez, also known as DJ DarJim, is a Dominican electronic music DJ whose work is defined by a strong musical foundation, refined harmonic sensibility, and a deep commitment to underground electronic culture.

DarJim’s musical path began early through piano training, which shaped his understanding of melody, harmony, structure, and musical progression. This classical foundation continues to inform his approach to electronic music, where phrasing, tonal balance, and long-form musical narrative are central elements of his sets.

Guided by a lifelong curiosity for sound, DarJim developed into an avid explorer of new musical expressions, with a particular appreciation for creativity in harmonic construction and the exploration of texture across multiple musical spectrums. His approach transcends rigid genre boundaries, focusing instead on atmosphere, groove, and emotional continuity.

His artistic identity has been shaped by influential figures in the global electronic music movement, including Deep Dish, Richie Hawtin, Satoshi Tomiie, Sasha & John Digweed, Chris Liebing, Marco Carola, Seb Fontaine, Sven Väth, Danny Howells, and Mistress Barbara. These influences are reflected not through imitation, but through a shared emphasis on journey-driven sets, technical precision, and respect for the listener’s experience.

During the late 2000s and early 2010s, DarJim became an active presence in the Dominican Republic’s emerging electronic music scene. His first significant residency took place at Bamboo House, followed by his most memorable and defining residency at Encuentro Artesanal Bar in Santo Domingo’s historic Zona Colonial, a venue recognized for its artistic and cultural relevance within the underground scene.

In addition to his residencies, DarJim participated in several notable radio showcases, contributing curated mixes that reflected both his musical range and his commitment to sound exploration during a formative period for electronic music in the Dominican Republic.

While rooted in the traditions of underground electronic music, DarJim remains closely engaged with the genre’s ongoing evolution. His current listening and inspiration include Maaya Nidan and the new Romanian deep and minimal-tech scene, with particular appreciation for artists such as Raresh, Rhadoo, Petre Inspirescu, Priku, Cristi Cons, Arapu, and Vlad Caia, as well as the aesthetic and sonic direction cultivated by influential labels including a:rpia:r, UVAR, Pressure Traxx, and Dubøka. He is also drawn to the work of Masomenos, the Paris-based project formed by DJ Joan Costes and Adrien de Maublanc, whose emphasis on subtle groove, spatial depth, and hypnotic progression strongly aligns with his long-standing appreciation for harmonic refinement and sonic experimentation.

After some time away in the United States, which led him to step back from club culture for a period, DarJim now returns with renewed focus and perspective. He often reflects on what he values most from those earlier years: the DJ’s ability to play extended four- to six-hour sets, where true storytelling unfolds and emotions are patiently shaped throughout the night. Reconnecting with the pursuit he values most, he is committed to sharing his musical journey with the world, bringing together experience, patience, and an enduring passion for sound.

Known for a DJ-centered approach, DarJim favors extended, immersive sets, refined transitions, and thoughtful progression over commercial exposure.

DarJim’s legacy, and ongoing path, is rooted in sound, space, and musical curiosity, representing a generation of DJs who helped shape the foundations of contemporary electronic culture in the Dominican Republic through integrity, exploration, and respect for the craft.

I've helped clients around the world with Ableton Live services.

Friends and peeps I have done work for include Brian Transeau (BT), Bill Hamel, John Graham, Alexander 'Sasha' Coe's Involved (charity benefit tour), Danny Howells, Nick Warren, AK1200, and others.

Starting in 2005 I produced some tracks, put a few records out. I was also low-key obsessed with the DJ set as art form, using Live as a tool to harmonize, restructure and re-edit tracks together in realtime ie. non-linear mixing or 'shuffle mixing'.

At one point I developed a custom 17 inch touchscreen + hardware controller setup to do it live on stage and in the studio. Played gigs around Orlando and Central Florida for a bit.

On my sets mixes are harmonized and tracks deconstructed / reconstructed in new sequences by skipping back and forward through the waveforms. I prepare samples to drop throughout.

After mixing I do post-production, fine tune the samples and/or produce additional parts to fit. Then I master the output to make it pump and shine.

I've chilled on it in recent years other than the sets. But people ask me what I've been up to and want me to keep it coming. 

I'm still obsessed with the art of the DJ set. So here they are.
