The sound of house music is infectious; at the age of 17 Darren began hitting the club scene around the UK, with one of his favourite night’s being Renaissance in Mansfield, listening to the sounds of Sasha and Ian Ossia. The reaction of the crowd towards the DJ inspired him, he wanted to be that person on the turntables controlling the dance floor. Since those hedonistic days back in 1993, Darren has played to crowds all over the UK and across the globe. His first major Residency was Tall Trees, at a night called “Culture” where he played to crowds of 3000 week in week out. Following press coverage and the sheer volume of people travelling to the club, Radio 1 put on an Essential Selection tour night and over 2 rooms packed in 6000 people. A Culture tour in Ibiza then followed in conjunction with Love to be, and DJ mixes on Galaxy fm radio for Tony Walker and DJ Disciple’s Transatlantic mix show. He went on to promote his own ‘Loaded’ theme nights at select clubs around the North of the UK using live percussion, saxaphone and acoustic guitar. Teaming up with a percussionist for bookings, under the ‘Funkstars’ guise.
The last 2 years of life in the UK Darren was presenting ‘My House’ a bi-weekly Deep House internet radio show on Northern Underground http:// www.northern- underground.co.uk and held a residency for Michiko at Pacha, London.

 Now living in Perth WA and playing for select nights in the city, and exclusive one off pool and rooftop parties for Grooveyard and Kinky Malinki and HABITAT enjoying Deep house sets at the House of House Geisha, also starting his own Sunset chilled sessions at Oceans 27.
Bringing us right up to present day, Darren is now pushing his sound in the studio with his debut track ‘4 words’ signed to PHD London and his latest venture, a collab with Aki of Deep Sound Lab entitled Tan Lines which spent 3 weeks in the No1. spot on traxsource and stuck around in the top 20 foe 8 months.

I am at the halfway mark with decades of life experiences to artistically express through music. love to see how combinations of music in motion set up melodic patterns for listeners to feel lifted to a place higher than the self.
