well well look who's back. I didn't know BREAKS were back also!

i dont know that much about music but this sound "broken X melodic" is my shit!

Dreaming of late night dance parties lately, so here is a collection of tracks I wish I could be shaking it to with all of you.

Night Moves

Recorded live on Ajax Closing Day 2021 from the Playboy mansion in Aspen....

GoldenTape #18

This mix is a fuse of two of my favourite genres - Broken beats and melodic progressive. I have loved breaks in its own right and remember the days of hitting ambar watching the local Perth legends dominate that club. At the same time i've always loved my melodic progressive and have played that sound for years. It was inevitable that i would eventually feel like recording a mix that would be nothing but both combined.

How lucky and blessed do I feel, to not only be invited to my first Rhythm Society event -- a bay area underground institution since 1995 -- but to be also trusted to DJ such an important time slot -- right after the midnight hour! We had a great hour together on the dance floor, and now I get to share it with you :)

Hi guys and thanks for being here with me for Tides Vol. 10. As always, I create these mixes at significant points in my life and environment, and this new edition is no different. In Tides Vol. 9, I put a heavy emphasis on the concept and presence of energy as a collective force, so go check that one out if you haven’t yet! This installment is especially significant in that so much drastic change has occurred not just to me, but to our entire universal existence in just a short few weeks. With our whole normal way of life being flipped over so suddenly, we are required to adjust, adapt, and stay present each day. In line with my choices for this mix and the way they pull you forward by an uplifting journey through sound and space, I couldn’t help but contemplate the idea of detachment. As individuals and community as a whole, we are more often than not entrapped in our attachments to normality. Anywhere from our material choices to freedom of physical motion and simple actions of consistency. In stating the obvious, we now have been forced to detach from our past way of life and enter a new realm of acceptance. Whether you agree with the actions (or lack thereof) we are pressed to take as a unified group during this crisis, I can’t help but notice the positive aspects of it all. For many, this is a fearful time of falling into the unknown and losing a sense of continuity, but this change and new norm may be exactly what our world needed at exactly the right time. If we are willing to work on our detachment from as much of our lives as we can, we can allow our minds and bodies to be freer than previously before. A quote I’ve recently come up on is, “Attachment breeds panic, fear and disempowerment which detachment transforms into peace of mind, certainty and empowerment. The route to effortless detachment is faith.” Detaching from the previously thought necessities of our day to day lives, may just allow us to pause, reset, and approach our entire meaning from a new and refreshed point of view. If you have faith in your purpose and detach from mundane ideas that at one point were deemed essential, we might as a population transcend such a crisis coming out better, more fluid, with more compassion and happier than ever before. With this idea in mind, I’ve created this 55 minute soundscape of amazing work to let go and detach, if mainly for your mental survival. We don’t know how long this change will take place and how exactly we will appear on the other side of it, but if we have faith in the unknown processes and command our energy to help ourselves and those around us, our looking glass might shine with brighter light, and we may just be alright. As the oceans of our planet oscillate with beautiful carefree motion by direction of our moon, we too can flow together as one patiently waiting to arrive at new shores again. I hope you enjoy this mix and remember to always trust the Tides of the universe.

～ Tides ～ Vol。10 ～

"Wow. My release of "My Definition of Chill Vol. 4 Part Two (Less Chill)" got a huge reception. Over 15,000 plays after SoundCloud featured it on their Explore Electronic music page. Really gratifying to know so many people took a listen and hopefully like what they hear. Here is Part One (More Chill). Initially I had these two parts together as one gigantic mix but over time each half took on its own personality. This one a bit more dreamy and lower tempo but still throws some punches." - Deckard

Deckard RIPEcast - My Definition of Chill - Vol 4 - Part 1 (More Chill)

He’s a stalwart of the local scene and he’s supported some of the biggest names in dance music but Darren J never had aspirations to be a DJ. “I got into it purely to make CDs for myself,” he admits. “I was sick of buying compilation albums that only had a few tunes I liked. So I bought some old CD players and a crappy mixer and taught myself to do it. I never wanted to play in a club nor thought I actually ever would.”
Darren progressed to playing at house parties for a couple of close friends. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive. Inspired by what he saw and heard, one of his best friends convinced him to enter Habitat’s 2008 DJ competition, an annual event aimed at discovering emerging talent. Despite the feedback Darren had received thus far, there was still some hesitation on his behalf. Eventually however he relented, submitting a demo tape but not thinking too much about it. He ended up getting selected for the heats and going on to win the grand final. Later in the year Jones was voted ‘Perth’s Best New Talent’ at the Perth Dance Music Awards.
From there he started getting booked for local gigs, beginning with warm-up and closing sets. Gradually he advanced to playing main timeslots, with word started getting around town of his impressive and varied sets that encompass deep house, nu disco, tech-house, techno & progressive. This has led to bookings for major festivals such as the Renaissance Masters series, Future Music, Park Life, Oktoberfest, Gatecrasher, Summadayze, Creamfields, Godskitchen and Stereosonic. In the short span of two years, Darren has supported some of the world’s best DJs and producers including Tiesto, Armin Van Buuren, James Zabiela, Laurent Garnier, Jamie Jones, Jorris Voorn Fergie, Stephan Bodzin, Chris Fortier and Henry Saiz, Way Out West, Darren Emmerson and many many more. Darren has travelled to Melbourne where he played at the 2010 New Years Day event ‘Trust Us’ at Melbourne’s premier club Brown Alley alongside D Ramirez, Anthony Pappa and Elite Force. Darren is now a fixture of Habitat’s residency which holds regular events at Perth’s best venues. 

For all the attention he has garnered, Darren hasn’t forgotten the reason why he started DJing in the first place. His passion for music has not diminished. “I love the music the most… seeing the smiles on people’s faces makes it all worthwhile.”

The next step for Darren is production. “I would love to be able to play a track that I had written to a crowd and see them enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it. That would be unreal!” 

In light of everything he’s achieved so far, it seems like a very realistic scenario waiting to happen.
