Our favorite Greek talent needs no formal introduction. When you see the name Detlef, you know you're in for a serious treat. His latest track 'Indigo' draws inspiration from UK garage, featuring a bassline that's impossible not to move to and perfectly sliced vocal samples. And with 'Bronx', it's everything you'd expect from the Issues boss: big, fat beats, heavy bass frequencies, and funky vocals that bring it all together. We're thrilled to have this talented artist on board!

Penina EP

Huxley makes his DFTD debut with ‘House It Up’, an expertly sampled outing of vocal house with a serious club groove. Over the course of ten years, Huxley’s versatile sound has seen him grow from rising star to international leader and mentor. From early Boiler Room sets and Defected collabs with Shenoda, to headline appearances at Amnesia Ibiza, then coaching with industry leaders for Mixmasters - there is little Huxley cannot do. His latest release on London club label, ‘House It Up’ demonstrates a cool underground feel, thanks to a distinctive vocal sample underpinned by a hypnotically wonky sub bass that ebbs and flows with ease.

Darius Syrossian's MOXY MUZIK builds on its early head of steam with another high quality release that proves peak time club music can have a real sense of soul. It comes from the boss himself with remixes from Tommy Vicari Jnr and Christian Burkhardt. This innovative new label launched to a great reception with the first EP from Darius Syrossian getting support by the likes of Laurent Garnier & many more djs including Derrick May on his recent Boiler room. The remixes from the likes of Man Power and East End Dubs were also well received. The label has also started a series of all night long tour nights around the UK and Europe, with the first three shows in London, Manchester & Leeds all being sold out shows.

For the labels 2nd release, Darius delivers yet another Dancefloor destroyer with lots of soul, this time with a Disco flavoured cut, the track 'Unnamed 3' was only five hours old when Eats Everything played it on his BBC Radio 1 Show. It was so fresh out the studio that it didn't even have a name and that is how it became to be called 'Unnamed 3' 

A deep sub bass & driving kicks power the track forward and crisp disco stabs littering the track in all the right places. Tommy Vicari Jnr is next to remix and is an artist with more than 15 years of experience of releasing on the best labels of the day to draw on. His timeless style reworks the track into a lush deep house affair with layered pads and hypnotic chords which give the track a dreamy feel. As such this is one of those trademark Tommy Vicari Jnr productions that oozes class, and it's one for those that like real house music. 

Next to remix is Christian Burkhardt, a long time tech tastemaker who has produced for labels such as Cocoon / Cuttin Headz / & many more quality underground labels including his own Christian Burkhardt Sessions. The obsessive producer shows his meticulous craft with a version that is on a more minimal vibe with slick drums and pounding kick drums that give a peak time set feel, but that retains the disco flavours enough to add some spice. This is another unique release from MOXY MUZIK that brings plenty of fresh ideas and lasting emotions to the dance floor.

Late Replies - Insomnia (Alvaro AM Remix)

In December 2018, Darius Syrossian Launches MOXY MUZIK

a new Vinyl & Digital record label 

“reaching any top 10 chart doesn’t interest me nor is it the purpose of this label,
I feel there is a big shift at the moment with too much generic tech house being put out on the market,Too much music is sounding the same & there seems to be a distinct lack of Depth in music aimed at the Dance floor, i want to show with this label that underground music can still be for the dance floor, it doesnt have to be Generic.

This is the answer Darius gave in recent interview when asked why is he starting Moxy Muzik

* THE MOXY MUZIK LABEL

Moxy Muzik will have Bespoke hand drawn art for each Vinyl release & Darius has been working with renounced artist Charlotte Archer making sure each release has individual art.

The first few releases feature artists such as

Phil Weeks / 
East End Dubs / 
Man Power / 
Doc Martin / 
Dense & Pika / 
Christian Burkhardt /
Tommy Vicari Jnr /
Ray Mono / 
Shaf Huse / 
Seb Zito /
& ofcourse Darius himself

These artists have been carefully hand picked & the purpose of the label is to bring quality House & Techno that is aimed at the Dance floor, Music that can be heard in 10 or 15 years & still be enjoyed rather than music that is aimed at reaching a top 10 chart of a current fad, as Darius explains

The first release on the label is the EP ‘Dance of the Shaman’ by Darius Himself
a Hypnotic track that has an unorthodox method of using an organ as the main baseline, it’s a turbo charged left field house cut with rubbery bass running alongside slick driving drums. The infectious groove is full of late night soul and chords stabs & is littered with plenty of human emotions.

There are 3 remixes with Me Me Me label boss Man Power delivers a 13 min remix that has all the ingredients of becoming timeless classic for those that like quality deep house music that uses chords and keys to deliver a lush remix that would easily be one of the main tracks had this been on someones artist album. The legendary Doc Martin then strips things back further and layers in some steamy female vocals to his remix and East End Dubz delivers a remix that will have all the fans of the Romanian Techno sound frothing at the mouth.

MOXY MUZIK is a sol project while Darius still continues DONOTSLEEP with the rest of the DNS team
DONOTSLEEP had another huge Ibiza summer this time at Amnesia, a party that saw Darius play alongside artists such as 

Robert Hood /
Floorplan / 
Martin Buttrich / 
Guti / 
Josh Wink / 
Cassy / 
Charlotte De Witte / 
Luigi Madonna /
Mella Dee /
Fabe /
& a host of other quality underground artists


* THE MOXY MUZIK RESIDENCY

So 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

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

Clips from the party >

So 2019 is the year Darius takes things back to basics, sure he will be doing the big festival shows & continue the DO NOT SLEEP residency all over the world, which includes North, South America tours, as well as Asia / Asutralia & all over Europe
