My homie @keithmackenzie 's breakbeat label Illeven:Eleven celebrated ILL DAY on 11.11.21 with a coast to coast raid train featuring EveningPerple, Reid Speed, Keith MacKenzie and myself doing breaks sets on Twitch. This is the recording from that evening. Had a fun time switching up genres and tempos. Might try to do a few more of these

ILL DAY RAID TRAIN 11.11.21

Up until the time I was going live for this session I was stressing about work and all around feeling rushed. All that melted away as soon as I got into it. Intro section features some jazzy, sort of left of center tunes that I like to sneak into the livestreams when I can. Just good music that doesn't always get the shine. The rest of the set I thought flowed pretty well with some soulful vocal bangers into some sci-fi liquid/ techno-soul rollers. Not sure what it was, but the relief of hanging with friends and just enjoying the day made this a particularly enjoyable livestream from my end. Big up to all who passed through to check it out. Cheers 🍻

Liquid Lovers Lounge (EP52|APR23|2022)

In the week leading up to this LLL session I had gone back to listen to some of my recent recordings. I decided I wanted to change up the formula I'd been following, which recently has involved a ton of minimal tech. I do love playing that stuff, but this week I opted for a more analog sort of "classic" approach to the liquid sound. More of a "summer sound". Lots of deep, jazzy rollers, chunky drums, rhodes keys. Some ragga vocals, some jungle, some atmospheric rollers. It's all in the mix. Tons of fun with the LLL crew in the chat this week.

Liquid Lovers Lounge (EP68|AUG13|2022)

My day job has been keeping me busy —a true blessing— but consequently I've had little time for my usual weekly ritual of music vetting and archiving. Like every good DNB snob, I like to obsess over brand new releases to play on LLL. This week was the first time in about a year that I didn't do any significant prep, just dove right in and started playing. Of course I do still have dozens of older self-curated playlists ready, but I was still pleased with how I was able to navigate this set for 2 hours and keep some decent vibes rolling along. Starts off with some rollin liquid and soulful rollers, then bounces back and forth with some techy rollers. Some jungle and deep jungle type stuff around halfway, rounded out by some deep tech and party vibe rollers and going with deep heady rollers towards the end.

Many thanks to all my friends, LLL regulars and new subscribers who show up on Twitch to vibe with me each week.

Liquid Lovers Lounge (EP74|SEPT24|2022)

Just like the year 2022, this last LLL session had some definite ups and downs 😆  Over the 2 hours I made my way through some soulful liquid, some spacey stuff, some high energy liquid, some tech rollers, some deep neuro bits, some bigger dancefloor bangers and ending back into some deep heady rollers. As they say, "a little bit of everything". As always it's been a pleasure bringing these sessions to you on a weekly basis. It means everything to me that you regularly put aside time on your Saturday to tune into my stream. It makes the time I spend collecting, archiving and curating music in preparation for these sessions absolutely worth it. Also big shoutout to every producer putting out bangers and the ones who've graciously reached out to me with promos and dubs. Without you, there'd be no stream.

If you usually catch these sets on Soundcloud, thank you for every listen, every "like" and every repost. It's what keeps me pushing to bring you more quality content. Happy 2023!

Liquid Lovers Lounge (EP84|DEC31|2022)

Recently I had a debate with someone about the term "liquid". He feels it's become an outdated term to describe what's basically become 75% of all DNB music produced today, and in a way he's right. I've long stopped worrying whether "liquid" actually describes what I play in these sessions. Instead I use the term loosely, mostly to set some sort of expectation of what you'll be hearing from me. In all practicality, I like to play across the board. It's deep, it's soulful, it's techy at times, it's dark minimal at others. It's abstract, it's jazzy, it's rolling, it's dancefloor, it's peak time stuff, it's afterhours stuff. Mainly I want it all to make sense in relation to each other. I'm less concerned about what to exactly call it. It's like that famous saying "House is a feeling"... Maybe "Liquid" is also a feeling and not just a specific sound? To be continued...

Liquid Lovers Lounge (EP86|JAN14|2023)

This was one of those sessions where I went in with no expectations but  ended up pleasantly surprised at how everything just seemed to fall into place. Some of my favorite friends and close LLL fam showed up in the chat and we were just vibing from beginning to end! I kept things nice and musical in the beginning and pushed up the energy as the homies started showing up. There's a nice little ragga flavored roller section at about halfway where we even got a nice Hype Train going in the chat! (a rarity on my channel lmao). Second hour has a few tech rollers and some minimal bass oddities, before I switched back to breezy uptempo liquid at the end. I had such a great time and big shouts to my LLL regulars for the time, bits and wholesome energy 🖤🖤🖤

Liquid Lovers Lounge (EP88|JAN28|2023)

For this particular session I didn't have much of an advance plan or direction but things still seemed to end up on the jazzy/soulful side of the spectrum for a good amount of the first hour. It was a nice crisp spring day in Georgia so I suppose that's pretty appropriate. Some cool deeper/melodic new music got played in that hour before I amped the energy up a bit around the one hour mark. Second hour I settled into a slightly darker dub roller type sound, mixed with some angular minimal and tech rollers. By the end I ended back down into some deeper sci-fi liquid and soulful rollers to close it out. Fun sesh, good vibes as always. S/O to my loyal LLL crew always representing and the few new followers who came on board this week!

Liquid Lovers Lounge (EP94|MAR11|2023)

With very little time to prep for this sesh I just wanted to make sure I got in some new music that came out this week. Overall I relied on some tried and true older tracks to fill in the cracks and tried to just keep things rolling along. I'm still in my "experimentation with dancefloor DNB" phase as I'm trying to get in the mindset for some outside summer festival sets — I pushed it into that big room soaring vibe towards the end. Fun session with some cool new people in the chat and my trusty LLL family who always comes through to hang. Love you guys. Cheers!

Liquid Lovers Lounge (EP96|APR01|2023)

It was a gloomy day in Georgia and I'm pretty sure this played into my selection choices for this session. After a couple of weeks of pretty energetic rolling sets, this one kind of took a more subdued turn. Deep and melodic liquid rollers at the beginning into some mid-energy biz, into some minimal style rollers. Threw in some tech flavored joints for the second hour as well as some grimy bassline rollers and ended with saccharine tech R&B vibes. Not a lot of the usual banter in the chat room today but the number of people who dropped in or were logged and lurking was still solid. Shouts to the new followers as well as my OG LLL gang!

Liquid Lovers Lounge (EP97|APR08|2023)

The 2 hour format of this stream is one I've become so accustomed to  over time that I've fallen into some kind of well-worn routine of how I approach filling the time. The downside of that is that when I play IRL gigs and I only have one hour to fill, I have a hard time jumping right into the explosive sound and pacing you need to catch and hold the attention of say, a festival crowd. I've been digging through my collection and building more expansive playlists than I normally would in order to force myself out of my comfort zone and try out different set structures, but also to play the type of energetic tunes I tend to avoid sometimes. Sometimes the experiments work, sometimes they don't, but it's always an entertaining endeavor trying to find out.

Liquid Lovers Lounge (EP98|APR15|2023)

We were still in the throes of the pandemic when I launched the LLL series back in March of 2021. I had dipped my toes into the Twitch streaming pool through 2020 as part of the ATL DJ Collective crew but this was the first time I struck out on my own to do my own thing on my own channel. I had no idea where it was gonna end up but I set some parameters for myself. I wanted to avoid playing the same tracks from show to show and I wanted to make sure that every set I played met a minimum standard of quality to where I could throw the recording up on Soundcloud and it would stand up to some of the best mixes I heard from my personal DNB DJ idols. While I feel like in some ways I succeeded in that task, I think I underestimated the amount of work that would go into unearthing fresh new music every week, time spent organizing my Rekordbox playlists, tagging tunes by key and plain familiarizing myself with every new track, finding relationships between old and new tracks, devising a cue point system to alert me on the fly where vocals come in on tracks to avoid clashes. Not to mention, making artwork, posting on socials... The list goes on and on. I wish it were as easy as "just jumping on and playing for 2 hours". It's actually easy to do that, but can you jump on and PLAY WELL for 2 full hours?

With the benefit of hindsight and 100 LLL episodes under my belt I can undoubtedly say this endeavor has made me a better DJ, even with my 30+ years of experience going into this. The bonus level to all of it has been all the cool people I now call my friends, who log on every Saturday to watch me sink or swim every week. All the banter in the chat, tunes we've recommended to each other and bonding we've done over this music we love called drum'nbass. All the producers who've reached out to me and entrusted me with their exclusives. Everyone who's listened and shared on Soundcloud and socials... I appreciate y'all. I don't know for how long I'll keep this going, but for now I can call this experiment an unqualified success. Thanks for the support and much love 🖤

Liquid Lovers Lounge (EP100|MAY06|2023) *EXTENDED 3 HOUR SET*

This was an unexpectedly fun session. After a hefty work week I was feeling a little unprepared on Saturday and decided to sort of dig in to organize and analyze all the new music and promos and strategize on the direction this session was gonna take. A lot of the new stuff had that summer soul feel to it so I just let that be the guiding vibe. First hour was soulful feelgood lush liquid vibes for the most part. Things got a little darker and driving after the midpoint before settling into a stripped dark minimal roller type groove. Last 30 minutes I threw in a little jungle before bringing things down into some futuristic R&B vocal style liquid towards the end. Great turnout and interaction in the chat this week (We even had a Hype Train!). Really enjoyed myself. Much love to the LLL family 🖤

Liquid Lovers Lounge (EP103|JUNE03|2023)

For this sesh I wanted to go heavy on the summer vibes, keeping it fun and musical and groovy for a good portion of it. Dropped in a few of my favorite classic hip hop bootlegs in there as well as some classic liquid tracks from the "golden era". Some time into the 2nd hour things get a bit tougher on a bit of tech tip before moving back deeper towards the end. Shoutout to all the homies in the chat today. BIG UP.

Liquid Lovers Lounge (EP104|JUNE17|2023)

This was one of those sessions that ended up all over the place. I started off on a low 173 bpm with some atmospheric / soulful / liquid vibes and gradually tried to inch up the tempo as I made my way through different DNB micro-genres. There was dubby bassline rollers, minimal rollers, tech rollers, some weird glitchy stuff and some borderline cheesy big room dancefloor stuff for good measure — and it was all good clean fun. Shoutout to the homies who came thru to groove with me in the chat this week. Can't do it without you guys 🖤

Liquid Lovers Lounge (EP108|JULY22|2023)

While working this last week I had a continuous playlist on YouTube automatically select the first couple LTJ Bukem's Progression Session mixes. Listening to those mixes again (after a really long time) totally brought me back to that mid to late 90s period when atmospheric (or "intelligent drum & bass" as it was known back then) was really cutting edge stuff. I have such fond memories of that period of time — going record shopping and playing my first big boy raves... Anyway, long story short, that spell of nostalgia made me go digging through my Rekordbox collection for suitable tunes to try to recreate that heady, spacey, blissful vibe on the stream this week, albeit with as current as possible tunes.

A large section of the first hour is all classic sounding atmospheric with that chunky drum programming. Some jazzy and funk-influenced bits thrown in there too... From there it moves into hour two with some drumfunk roller energy before slipping into "endless summer" liquid vibes featuring a nice section of classic amen rollers; some old, some new. I kept playing a bit longer again this week, since my boy Dough who usually follows me was still out of commission. Ended with some of my favorite deep soulful cuts. I had lots of fun playing this week. Big shouts to the LLL chat crew for keeping it lively!

Liquid Lovers Lounge (EP109|JULY29|2023)

It felt good to be back behind the wheels this week after an extremely hectic work week for me. One bonus result of having to skip last week's stream is that I had amassed an extra fat stack of new music. The downside of that is the feared "paralysis of choice" scenario where I start second guessing what to play and risk sounding unfocused. To counteract that I tried to stick to my classic formula of deeper organic feelgood liquid bops in the first hour, and moving into the darker tech synth material after the halfway point. I think it  worked out pretty good in the end. Great times hanging with the homies in the chat.

Liquid Lovers Lounge (EP111|AUG19|2023)

This one's kind of a "everything but the kitchen sink" session. There's atmospheric, jazzy liquid, soulful liquid, amen rollers, dub ragga rollers, jungle, minimal tech rollers, sci-fi liquid rollers... Big shouts to all the homies who pulled up. I was feeling the love and quite enjoyed this sesh even if some parts were not as technically perfect as I would have wanted. There's always next week 💜

If you know me you're probably aware I'm not a huge fan of playing B2B sets. It's hard to get 2 people on the same page to play a set that flows. However, I've probably tagged more times with Keith Mac than anyone else ever, so when he asked me to play an all DNB set with him at the Jungle Bells afterparty it was a no-brainer.

Both of us being as busy as we are, there was very little time to compare playlists but in the end, it's about trust. Trust yourself to not be the weak link 🤣

This week I announced that Liquid Lovers Lounge would cease to exist as a weekly stream, and moving to a monthly format instead. While this is certainly not the end by any means, it definitely marks the end of an era of sorts. When I started LLL as a weekly stream in early 2021, we were all still navigating pandemic times. Like most other DJs, it became the way for me to share music and connect with friends and fans during the uncertain times of social distancing and no live gigs. It was something I looked forward to doing every week as part of a very grounding routine and creative outlet. Lifelong friendships were forged and loyal contacts cemented inside that chat room over that period of time.

We're now quite removed from that. We've all since largely moved on with our collective lives. We're not spending as much time glued to our devices looking for entertainment anymore. I'm playing IRL DJ gigs, we're all attending real shows. In that context it makes sense for me to dial back the frequency of these streams.

Vetting that much new music every week, curating playlists, digging for music on a daily basis... as much as I love doing it, it's extremely time-consuming. My day job has very demanding hours. I've also set some personal work-related aspirational goals that will consume even more hours per week. In order to maintain a proper life/work/creative balance I had to rethink things. This was a tough but necessary decision to make.

Liquid Lovers Lounge is returning in February as a monthly stream and mix upload. Obviously, you can expect the same commitment to quality on my end. I'd like to thank everyone who's tuned in, listened, liked, shared and otherwise supported my content week in and week out. I hope you continue to do so. S/O to all the homies who've been sending me tunes, keep 'em coming ;)

Big up LLL Fam! Much love 🖤

- Darcy

Liquid Lovers Lounge (EP124|JAN13|2024)

Despite the disappointment of having to reschedule the return of LLL as a monthly stream for a couple of weeks, I could not be happier with how this session went down. The chat was thick with positive vibes and the LLL fam was reppin in full force. At the time of this writing I have yet to listen back to the full set but I felt pretty happy with how it was all coming together. Lots of new stuff in the mix with a couple of classics in there. Pretty wide range of sounds , but the overall feeling I was shooting for was just positive, upbeat and fun and by the end of it I was feeling like I had succeeded in that. Always thankful to my friends for spending this time with me. I was definitely reminded how much I miss hanging with the crew. Keep an eye on my socials for an announcement about EP127 once I take a look at my calendar. Hope to see you in the chat!

Liquid Lovers Lounge (EP126|MAR23|2024)

It's been a pretty busy month of gigs for me, but it's always a good time returning to the stream to hang out and vibe with old friends. Bonus level, I get to play all the music I don't get to play out all that much to IRL dancefloors! It being 4/20 and all I'm sure many people had Saturday plans, so it was kind of a low key affair, but the core group of the LLL fam were still present in the chat. I opted for a deep heady vibe in the first hour and brought up the energy in the second hour with some dancefloor and big room rollers into some minimal tech stuff and finally into some futuristic R&B style vocal rollers at the end. Good times were had for sure and I always appreciate the support.

Liquid Lovers Lounge (EP127|APR20|2024)

Even though I have yet to listen to this session myself at the time of this writing, I'll go ahead and apologize if you hear a couple of train wrecks. I didn't let on when I was mixing live but I was having some severe technical issues with Rekordbox glitching out on my MacBook Pro. I'd have 2 records perfectly locked into the mix and they would inexplicably skip. I couldn't figure it out and rather than stopping the stream, rebooting and killing the vibe I opted to keep going. I'm still choosing to upload this mix with errors and all because I feel like there's some good music on here.  Might change my mind after I listen back and it's actually horrible lmao, so enjoy while you can I guess? I swear I can mix guys! 😁

Shoutout to the homies who came through, thanks for vibin with me and for the bits and subs 🖤

The Season 2 launch of online mag FED coincides with the 2024 summer solstice and I've been invited back to kick things off with an exclusive summer mix! Some breezy and soulful tunes at the start, but the temp quickly heats up about halfway with a groovy party section before simmering back down into some deep futuristic vocal R&B vibes at the end. Happy summer!

FED — WINTER 2025 MIX

It's been a full year since my first mix for FED. Since then, I've become a regular contributor as we navigate what most agree is a very different world. I've heard countless variations on "Shit just got real" lately, and it certainly feels that way. It's why I believe more than ever in our core FED mission: inviting people to the table to share — be it ideas, perspectives, recipes, stories, playlists — with each other, like a truly satisfying meal.

In keeping with this "unvarnished reality" theme, I've delivered a less controlled mix than before. While I used to painstakingly try to keep the vibe within certain parameters, this one covers a much wider range. Soulful, contemplative jazzy numbers at the start slowly give way to a more urgent sound, ramping up into dark, futuristic tech-infused cuts towards the middle. The mix then sort of evens back out into a kind of energetic bliss. Check the full tracklisting (the titles almost tell their own story) for the artists behind the music and give them a follow on your favorite platform.

FED — Spring 2025 Mix

Felt the need to jump on Twitch and run through some tunes. Full spectrum sounds: from liquid and soulful, to tech, to jungle to dancefloor rollers over the course of 2 hours. I really missed my Twitch fam — the warm welcome back felt positively soul-affirming! Gonna make an effort to come back to hang more regularly 🖤

POP UP STREAM — AUG 23 • 2025

It's a bittersweet moment, but we've arrived at the final season of FED magazine.

Over the past couple of years, I've had the immense pleasure of providing the soundtrack for every seasonal launch through a curated mix. This latest mix marks the conclusion of FED, and it is indeed a bittersweet feeling. I am proud of the work we accomplished with FED, and I'm very glad Ashley recruited me to help bring her vision to life. I still deeply appreciate the premise of sharing our ideas around art, food, and culture, much like we would a good meal.

So press play, sit back and relax, and stay FED!

FED — FALL 2025 MIX

My homie Keith MacKenzie talked me into streaming on the same day he's doing his annual "Good Luck" stream and I'm glad he did. It was a lot of fun hanging out with some of the old LLL gang again. I really miss streaming every week! 😭

A ton of new music in this session. Starts out on a deep soulful liquid tip, moves into some  no-nonsense rollers. Second hour is jungle into techy liquid and melodic dancefloor stuff. Shoutout to everyone who passed through; happy 2026!

Seasonal Affective Disorder Mix - Winter 2016

Liquid Lovers Lounge livestream on Twitch. 2 hours of liquid rollers + minimal tech + other vibey drum'nbass: www.twitch.tv/drcmachina. Check socials for schedule 

D:RC came up DJing (mostly drum'nbass) in the mid-90s while attending the University of Georgia in Athens, Ga. As founding member of the local Phungus, Playtheavy and Sleuth Empire crews he found himself at the center of a burgeoning rave scene, collaborating with friends on dance music events in the Athens/Atlanta areas and beyond.

In 2004 he founded Studio:Machina, a graphic design practice geared towards the music industry. Building on his behind the scenes expertise and keen artistic instincts he's become an in-demand contributor on artistic projects in a variety of media. He's toured the US as member of the Smookie Illson bass music trio, serves as creative director for the Chicago-based Illeven:Eleven Recordings label and functions as brand/art director of several nightlife concepts. 

Behind the decks he currently heavily favors the sounds of DNB, but brief forays into breakbeat, house, UK Garage + Bass and dubstep are not uncommon. Get to know.
