Darwin

In the lead-up to Love International 2021, we’re launching Transmission to Tisno on crackaud.io – a series of b2b mixes from separate locations, featuring festival favourites and new artists joining the line-up this year.

SPE:C boss Darwin links with London-based DJ and fellow sub-bass fiend Parris. Their b2b is expectedly heavy as they race through tracks from the likes of LCY and LSDXOXO, before meandering through misty-eyed vibes thanks to a touch of trance.

Transmission to Tisno: Darwin b2b Parris

Darwin (@darwinspec) juggles many different roles in dance music as well as she juggles her records in the DJ booth. The Canadian-born, Berlin-based artist runs her own REEF parties at Berghain, and has nurtured a wealth of emerging talents on her SPE:C label. She is also the founder of Clean Scene, a climate action collective that wants to explore a more sustainable future for dance music. They recently authored a stark report about the industry's carbon footprint, which you can read through cleanscene.club/report.pdf. 

Darwin's sound is rooted in various UK styles, from bass to dubstep, garage to breakbeat. That is evident in the 100-minute mix she lays down for us this week. It opens with thoughts about environmentalism and some indigenous jungle recordings before grinding through chunky Afro drum patterns and supersized bass. The pressure builds throughout, the cavernous rhythms grow ever more muscular as the urge to snake your body becomes overwhelming. It's a perfectly balanced, well-controlled mix that showcases the irresistible power of heavyweight bass music.

In Hour 2 we hand over Darwin, the boss of Berlin based label SPE:C, which recently dropped 'Behemoth'  by previous guest Decka. She had this to say about her mix;
'I guess you could say I was pretty late to the party... I only started listening to dubstep about 4 years ago while literally stumbling on a friends old record collection left in my flat. Most of it was total crap but there were a few OG gems in there that got me completely turned on to the sound. After a few years of collecting, I was burning to do a mix to show my take on a genre that's been sorta swept under a rug. Recorded on two turntables, a 92 and lots of love... '

Alex T with Darwin - 03 October 2019

Darwin's In Session Mix presents all the kaleidoscopic facets of her sets, beginning with multidimensional matrix-like space sounds and slowly moving into her groove of deep UK garage before floating into break beats and infectious dancefloor cuts. 

Water bubble textures and acidic noises make an appearance before she ends with jacking footwork beats, setting you in the middle of the jungle.

Here she showcases an array of sonic explorations, a focus that has made her one of the key guiding forces in the underground scene today.

Darwin is hustling hard on many levels. She runs the forward thinking party series REEF, her own record label SPE:C and she is trying to make the industry more sustainable. Enjoy!
