Saved my day with these vibes much needed ❤️❤️

After a super hectic work week I had very little time to prep for this session so I was a little iffy as to how things would work out for this recording. I've become a bit obsessed with always playing new music and keeping the right pacing and the flow of a mix according to my own standards. Sometimes I forget that it's fun as a DJ to just kind of let loose and rely on what you know and go with it. At the moment I haven't listened back to this session yet, but I was having fun while playing. Sometimes that's really what matters most.

Oversight - November 2023 Mix

Last show before the holidays was a pretty chill affair. Kind of a grab bag of sounds within this installment of LLL. There's melodic deep and soulful, there's jazzy/funky liquid, deep rollers, vocal rollers, minimal tech stuff. LLL crew was reppin in the chat. The set ran a little longer than usual but still went by quicker than expected. Good times.

Jimmy Knees - Liquid Assets 5/1/2024

First stream of the year was dope. After taking December off for work and holiday season obligations, I was way ready to get back into things and showed up with a fat stack of tunes. I tried to cover the gamut of sounds from deep to soul to tech with a spot of dirtier dancefloor stuff during peak hour time. Lots of homies came through and the vibe in the chat was very lively. Much love to friends and fam, it felt good to be back. Big up LLL crew!

Liquid Lovers Lounge (EP123|JAN06|2024)

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 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.
