I have always been a huge fan of underground hip hop and mushroom jazz, and after many years as a house DJ I have finally gotten a small collection of jams and am proud to present my first mix of all downtempo/mushroom jazz and hip hop tracks.  This mix was done on the fly with no arranging before hand so the transitions aren't perfect, but practice makes perfect!  Hope you all enjoy!

Have had a lot of people ask me over the past few months when the next Speed Bumps mix will be coming out.  Truth is, it takes so much time and playing around to come up with a series of tracks that work together for a long enough mix!  Finally came up with a set that I think flows really good, and hope you guys dig it!

Lots of great jazzy, groovy downbeat sprinkled with some dope underground hip hop jams.  Cant thank you guys enough for the support on the Speed Bumps series so far, hard to believe this is now Volume 8 in the series!  Still definitely a work in progress for me as this is a huge change from mixing house music, but I love the challenge!

So hear it is!  Make sure you grab a FREE DOWNLOAD and give it share!

Cheers!
Darius

Playing other peoples music for other peoples enjoyment since 1993.

Darius is a self proclaimed "House Addict".  He fell in love with the house sound as a teenager living in Montreal back in the early '90s when he would stay up late on Friday nights and record a dance mix show on Montreal radio.  He was hooked from then on.  He then proceeded to start mixing with one tape deck and a CD player and never looked back.  

When he moved to Vancouver in the late '90's, he started buying records almost daily and spent most of his free time at his favourite record stores at the time, Bassix and Mekanix records.  Over the next few years, Darius held various residencies and ran 2 club nights in Vancouver, playing alongside such talent as Lawnchair Generals and Johnny Fiasco, as well as playing at numerous after hours and raves.   After getting tired of both the late nights and politics in the scene, he decided it was time to hang up the headphones in the early 2000s, but the love of house music still burned inside of him as the years passed. 

In 2013 he decided he wanted to get back into DJ'ing and purchased a basic Pioneer controller and started to collect digital tracks again.  Over the past few years Darius has been busy making a name for himself in the underground scene with numerous guest mix appearances around the world on such labels as House Salad, Reason2Funk, Uglyhouse, Little Routine, Selecta Music, Leven Underground and House Jet Radio just to name a few.  He also started the very popular "SPEED BUMPS" mix series which showcases his love for hip hop and jazz as he shows his versatility as a DJ by blending mixes of nu jazz, hip hop instrumentals and acid jazz flavours reminiscent of Mark Farina's legendary series, Mushroom Jazz. 

He also launched the hugely successful "Soul Room Sessions" podcast showcasing the soulful and jazzy side of house music and downtempo beats with guest mixes from some of the biggest names in the game and the series is still going strong!

In 2017 Darius got his first taste of out of town gigging playing live shows all over the West Coast from his hometown in Vancouver, to San Francisco and Oakland.  Stay tuned for much more from him in the near future!
