'Finding Ground' is a term that my loved ones and I use to communicate when we needed just that. This means taking an intentional moment to acknowledge an inner (or outer) storm and to dig deep to find what is needed to feel grounded when things feel chaotic and up in the air.

The song starts with what I usually need, something warm and nourishing. A reminder of the beauty in the world and a moment to connect to my people and the earth. Usually once feeling warm, safe and connected, there's space to process and move whatever it is that needs to be moved... be that by dancing like a crazy jaguar lady, stomping till my knees hurt, or rolling around in the grass rocking a solid bass face. The first drop in this song is for just that.. and the second drop, even more so. 

I hope that this song helps others find some ground during their storms.. and it helps you move whatever it is that may need to be moved.

Stonechucker/Dardii are the musical projects of Australian East Coast drifter Darcy Livock.

Since being introduced to the Australian outdoor party scene in 2016, Darcy has been fascinated and absorbed by the energy that is created when like minded individuals gather to dance under the sky to a shared rhythm.

Wanting to contribute to this energy as much as possible, Darcy quickly picked up a controller to start twisting knobs and putting mixes together to perform at local gigs.

Darcys intention is to deliver performances that makes the listener both think and move their feet, incorporating opposing elements such as light/dark and technical/danceable to ensure every listener can find their rhythm.

Darcy's passion and taste span mulitple subgenres  and he loves tailoring his set to fit the time and place he is performing. No matter what he is performing, Darcys sets are not ones to miss.

Since the projects started, Darcy has been lucky enough to play many varied events and support some big names in the Australian & International electronic music scenes, including: Zombie Cats, Transforma, Truth, Hydraulix, Talpa & Ryanosaurus to name a few.

Dardii is also founder & owner of the 'Dreamstate Sound' team, who are the team behind the event 'Basscamp' among others. Follow them on socials to be involved in underground music events on the East Coast.

Hearing tribal drums before he could walk, pogoing to punk and ska and collecting electro before becoming a teen....SubLife soon found himself dragging amps and speakers across the Cornish wastelands and abandoned buildings to support the UK squat party scene. Eventually  escaping the impoverished South West to explore Latin America, Europe, North Africa and Asia to finally set down roots in the Sunny Coast where the legendary DOOF crew could be found. The house and tekno styles that SubLife creates takes the listener on a journey that starts in your head and then swiftly moves your feet. Playing sets for Wizards of Kingston, The Wonky Queenslander and the Forest Feels stage at Jungle Love he is no stranger to festivals or the underground.
