House music maestro, Darius Syrossian, cues up a pair of scintillating tracks for Ben Rau’s META imprint, expertly showing his credentials when it comes to delivering effective club cuts.

An ever-present DJ and producer on the circuit for many years, Syrossian has built up an enviable catalogue of music for labels such as 8bit, Hot Creations, Robsoul, amongst others.  He runs the successful Moxy Muzik imprint, which racks up high vinyl sales and top Beatport chart positions, and also has a release for Crosstown Rebels dropping in the coming months.  As a DJ, the Tehran-born artist needs little introduction, suffice to say that he’s clocked up thousands of gigs and parties around the world, and in particular making Ibiza a regular mainstay in his annual diary.

The shimmering synth intro ‘La Tribu’ succumbs to a slammin’ and swinging four to the floor beat, as Syrossian teases vocal chops and deft organ stabs, building up the energy levels with some spanking hand claps and an infectious groove.  On ‘Dream Thief’, Syrossian parades a deeper side, as a shuffling rhythm is cloaked with reverbed percussion, warming Rhodes keys and freestyling guitar licks for a highly sophisticated and contagious jam.

Darius described how Return To Jericho came to fruition: “We were chatting at the beginning of lockdown about starting a collab and decided that we wanted to make something with depth & soul. We’re really happy with these tracks & super happy that Damian has snapped them for Crosstown Rebels.”

Bushwacka echoed a similar sentiment: “When I checked out what Darius had been releasing on Moxy, straight away I felt that a collaboration would work, and work it has. This could be the first of many.”

The title track leads the way, opening with ethereal synth rolls and resonant kick-hat combos. Saharan-like vocals marry up next to a pacey, 4x4 bassline whilst atmospheric pulses march on in the background. Akkabi Blue takes on a more-stripped back feel, as minimal percussion cascades into a breakbeat-inspired breakdown to form a late-night dancefloor cut.

Darius Syrossian has been at the forefront of UK electronic music for more than a decade. A prolific producer, the Moxy Muzik head has released several standout EPs on the label, including Fuego and Harlem Nights to name a few. He has also welcomed several industry-heavyweights to the imprint in recent times, including East End Dubs, Seb Zito and many more besides.

Bushwacka has remained a firm fixture in the global dance scene since first cutting his teeth in the acid era of the late eighties. Regularly reinventing himself, his production catalogue boasts releases on Ultra, CTR and Get Physical as well as a host of other industry-defining labels, whilst his legendary residency at London nightclub The End has given the British-mainstay a lifelong legacy.

Next up on Kaluki this September, we are welcoming another two label newcomers, in the form of Peruvian DJs and producers, Nicolas Caprile and Chinonegro who join forces to present the brand new, 'Sabor Latino' EP. Influenced by Minimal and Tech House grooves, these two friends and collaborators have seen their releases prosper on some of the biggest labels in the scene including elrow, Glasgow Underground, Great Stuff, Lapsus, NONSTOP, Stereo and more as well as playing sets alongside the likes of Phil Weeks, Coyu, Javi Bora, Olivier Giacomotto, Sebastian Leger and German Brigante. The dancefloor focused 'Sabor Latino' EP showcases both artists unique sound offering deep, melodic grooves, organic drums, hooky arpeggio bass leads, hypnotic atmospherics and chopped vocal shots throughout. Completing the EP is a fantastic rework of the titular track from none other than Darius Syrossian who adds his own stamp and flavour to the record offering a chunky minimal cut with smeared pads, pulsating subs, stripped-back bassline, sophisticated synth patterns and kinetic drum programming that gives the record the perfect bounce.

Sliding in the slipstream of a huge wave of big hitters, underground anthems, and vinyl drops on his own Moxy Muzik imprint; Darius Syrossian lands on Pets with three premium late night jacking jams.

Madly, besides a remix of the label bosses Catz 'n Dogz a few years back, it's actually the house heavyweight's first full release on Pets. So he's making up for lost time with a trio of serious treats. Each cut bounces and flexes with that ageless warm-and-widescreen vibe that took seed in the 90s and has been relevant and unanimously loved ever since.

'To The Groove' hits like an old Pooley affair with obese bass/kick thumps and dreamy horns wafting away over the top. 'Love One Another' swaggers with a warp that you could imagine taking the roof off Back To Basics at any point in its 30 year history while 'MIDO' wraps up the EP with a dubby, rolling vibe that wouldn't have gone amiss on an old Champion Records or mid 90s Deep Dish set.

Heaving with a heady sense of Detroit, UK, Berlin and Balearic heritage, this is nothing but timeless, full-flavoured and focused on nothing but the groove. Just as the title suggests. Massive.

Born out of a lockdown night when their usual Saturday night plans were off limits, Defected regular Darius Syrossian and South Records boss George Smeddles decided to cook something up for the anticipated return to the club. With just a vocal to work with, they decided to produce something with the 90s, uplifting vibe dancefloors would be needing. Demonstrating the same addictive, dancefloor-ready grooves seen on their previous collabs like ‘Get Toast’ and ‘Blood Orange’, this latest joint venture once again delivers the heat. With its deep organ bassline, playful keys and irresistible 4/4 swing, this record oozes club appeal in a way you can only expect from producers rooted firmly in the scene. It sure feels good to be Back In The Dance.

Paul Woolford sitting in for Pete Tong nailed the description of where i was going when i made this, that whole 90’s New York scene was a massive influence on me, Junior Vasquez, Sound Factory etc, and when i made this i was trying to get a little bit of those vibes in the track

'We Bring It' is the title track of a new two-tracker from @jamie-jones and @dariussyrossian on Jones' seminal label @hot-creations. The title tune unfurls with chunky kickdrums and a chopped-up, speedy vocal sample that winds between a thwacking bassline - a touch of tribal percussion bounces throughout the track, reflecting the Balearic vibe for which Jones and Syrossian are celebrated.

"Both these tracks have equal elements of our individual sound. We made these a while ago but held them back as they were made especially for the Ibiza and festival season. After playing them at the beginning of the season, they have more than passed the road test," says Syrossian on the two-tracker.

MOXY MUZIK - NEW LABEL BY DARIUS SYROSSIAN
(VINYL & DIGITAL FORMATS)
info on this first release >>>

"im tired of hearing tracks that are obviously made to make the Beatport Top 10 charts! That market doesn’t interest me at all' Instead, I'm looking to release music that will still be around in 10 years time. Music aimed primarily at the danc efloor. Music with soul and depth and meaning. this is the reason i am launching Moxy Muzik." these are the the words Darius Syrossian used to answer a recent question in an interview on why he is launching his new label

And here we are, the first release on the new Moxy Muzik VINYL & DIGITAL label, an essential EP featuring one of his own originals and excellent remixes by Man Power, East End Dubz and Doc Martin. each EP released on the label comes with bespoke, hand-drawn artwork by Charlotte Archer.

The opening track on this first EP on Moxy Muzik is Dance of the Shaman, a turbo charged house cut with warm, rubbery bass made from the unorthodox method of using an Organ underlining slick and driving drums. The infectious groove is full of late night soul and chords stabs bring plenty of human emotions. 

Me Me Me label boss Man Power remixes it into an uplifting track with happy piano chords dancing over the drums. It’s a timeless effort that will get hands in the air and bring real joy to the floor. The legendary Doc Martin then strips things back and layers in some steamy female vocals to his remix and East End Dubz (Vinyl only) does his perfectly floor facing thing with dubbed out drums and slick hi hats keeping you dancing for days. Shaf Huse delivers his trademark peak time House sound that has been heavily supported from the likes of Martinz Brothers.

Future releases on Moxy Muzik will come from the likes of Phil Weeks, Tommy Vicari Jnr, Ray Mono, Christian Burkhardt, Ben Rau, Dense & Pika and of course Darius himself & will cover plenty of sound crossing both house & techno genre's but avoiding the generic obvious sounds that Darius feels is around too much at the moment. 

* THE MOXY MUZIK RESIDENCY & LABEL PARTIES

As the Label is launched, Darius is doing a series of parties across the uk & abroad to coincide with the Launch of the label, 
these are ALL going to be all night long or 6 hour sets, and to be ONLY held in CLUBS. as well as starting a Monthly residency at Joshua Brooks in Manchester.
the purpose of this is to take ‘CLUBBING BACK TO CLUBS’ and at the same time, play long extended sets

Darius explains “ i have always said that being a true dj is playing LONG sets, and having a residency, so i want to take this opportunity to show this is what I’m about right now, of course its great to play the huge festivals, & those are great, but there doesn’t seem to be balance anymore, most shows seems to be big branded events in big spaces & short sets, small clubs are closing all over and i want to keep this culture alive, when i was younger i used to go to a club called the orbit near Leeds, i saw Jeff Mills there, i saw Sven Vath there, playing this small 500 capacity venue and it was magical, this is what i want to bring back”

Having agreed to play a 6hr set at Joshua Brooks Manchester in June, the event sold out in under 24 hours off the back of Darius tweeting a ticket link, before any artwork or even an event page was created, such was demand their was another date added the following week which also sold out
The atmosphere was electric & this led Darius to plan on a residency in 2019

DARIUS SYROSSIAN - DANCE OF THE SHAMAN ORIGINAL MIX

II OUT NOW II 

Buy/Stream: lnk.to/HOTC125

Fresh from a packed summer of Ibizan parties Darius Syrossian is back on Hot Creations with his pumping Danzer EP featuring a remix from the prolific remixer Adesse Versions.

Darius explains that the idea for Danzer was born out of frustration with current music sounding the same. Inspired by a Floorplan Boiler Room set he wanted to make a track “that has the energy of techno, some funk flavours and also heavily disco influenced. It became a firm favourite at my Amnesia residency with DO NOT SLEEP”.

Danzer is an utterly insatiable peak-time cut with a dizzying drop, powerful female vocal hook and scintillating strings. The techno tool version does what it says on the tin, adding an almighty bassline that reverberates throughout. Initially beginning life as a vinyl edits project, Adesse Versions has gone on to have releases on revered labels including Razor N Tape and Delusions Of Grandeur. On his version he flips the track on its head, taking it on an altogether different route, layering extra percussive pads and womping synths.

2018 has been a huge year for Darius Syrossian. He began a new residency at Ibiza’s infamous Amnesia, alongside big names including Cassy, Martin Buttrich and Alan Fitzpatrick. No stranger to the White Isle, he’s also held down residencies at some of the island’s most prestigious venues. Syrossian has had releases signed to impressive imprints from Moon Harbour to 8Bit and Get Physical to We Are The Brave. This year also saw Darius begin his radio show on Rinse FM, with the imminent launch of his own label, Mozy Muzik, still to come.

Defected Records are proud to present a label debut from two of dance music’s most exciting and influential acts. With its deep tribal drums, jacked-up beat and Strictly Rhythm vocal sample ‘Rushing’ is a perfect amalgamation of Jamie Jones and Darius Syrossian’s styles, making an impressive inaugural release as a pair. With Jamie heading up Paradise, now on its eighth consecutive year at DC10, and Darius holding down a number of residencies including Do Not Sleep, now at Amnesia for its fifth season, there is no doubt this record will be an Ibiza anthem. ‘Rushing’ is a prime example of how both these artists have reached such calibre, with an irresistible beat and slick groove that make it an essential tune for this summer and beyond.

Premiere: Darius Syrossian - Soul Fire [Moxy Muzik]

Darius Syrossian's MOXY MUZIK continues to lead the House underground from the front with a fantastic two tracker that finds him collaborate with long time Fuse mainstay Rich NxT. Syrossian of course, is known for laying down no nonsense, sweat inducing sets of pure house goodness all over the world. As well as credits on plenty of other key labels, he has now established his own outlet as one of the genre's most essential & along with a handful of other labels such as Chris Stussy & Prunk's PIV & Ben Rau's Meta, Syrossian's MOXY MUZIK is leading the 2020 House revolution. Rich NxT meanwhile, is a master of stripped back dub tech, a unique style most associated with the FUSE label he has been associated with throughout his career. Together, the pair truly excel here. Opener Space Pirate is a slick and infectious groove, with knotted bass bouncing below sci-fi pads. The crisp percussion gets you moving too, while things build to a party starting peak that is pure class. Derby Tackle has a fantastic bassline once more that is warm and warped, and the kinetic kick drums make a real mark. Up top, lithe synths gurgle, bubble and boil and keep the floor locked in for the ride. This is another essential outing for MOXY MUZIK.

Darius Syrossian makes his DFTD debut with storming two-track delivery ‘Tivoli’s Groove’, after releasing acclaimed EP ‘Come On Come On’ on sister label Defected in 2019. An artist who lives and breathes dance music, Darius’ latest delivery showcases his unwavering devotion to producing quality dance cuts that defy genre constraints. Opening with ‘Tivoli’s Groove’, an irresistible 4/4 swing and undulating beat give the title track infinite club appeal. The bumping ‘Mustang 74’ follows, as a full throttle bassline, percussive stabs and warm synths work in total harmony. An artist whose roots lie firmly in the principles of house and techno, Darius’ musical philosophy shines through on this stellar delivery.
