Goosey - Affection

To celebrate its 25th anniversary, Defected Records continues its series of extra special collaborative releases Together, integrating talent from the label's storied past and the stars of its future across an array of original productions and remixes. Originally released in 2011, ‘Amame’ was supported by the likes of Kerri Chandler, Dennis Ferrer and Seth Troxler, with even Ricardo Villalobos ensuring that all those loitering around the booths of DC10’s closing party and fabric’s birthday of that year were enquiring of its story. Produced by Oscar G and Ralph Falcon under the guise of Intruder, its breadth of appeal has continued long into the 2020s, with two future stars now remixing the classic. Up first, following releases on Snatch!, Kaluki and Saved, Dunmore Brothers add a modern tech house spin on the original, maintaining the irresistible appeal of the vocal hook while offering a darker alternative to the original. Up next, Fleur Shore ups the tempo considerably, as hypnotic percussion loops and a full-throttle bassline make for an expertly executed peak time energy remix.

Balancing his jazz-influenced house explorations with a wealth of material aimed squarely at the floor, Italian DJ/producer Blackchild has been on a hot streak of late, with a series of impactful productions making serious global noise while also curating his growing label and event series NAIMA in unison. Fresh from his high-profile remix of house icon St. Germain, the Solid Grooves regular returns to his adopted label with arguably his biggest record to date, finally unveiling the heavily-requested and eagerly-awaited release of 'So Good (Heat Mix).

From the infectious sax melodies that have been hypnotising dancers around the globe to the slick, silky drums and the track's bumping low-ends, 'So Good (Heat Mix)' is a dopamine-drenched anthem that looks set to command dancefloors all summer long as Blackchild and Solid Grooves show out to serve up the goods once more.

When a fledgling Defected Records launched back in 1999, perhaps it was prophetic that its debut release would become one of house’s best loved cross-over records: Soulsearcher’s ‘Can’t Get Enough’ originally released on Soulfuric Deep. Soaring to #5 in the UK singles chart at the time, the legacy of Marc Pomeroy’s vocal club cut lives on well into the 2020s. Now, as part of the Together series celebrating Defected’s 25th anniversary, which integrates talent from the label’s storied past and the stars of its future, Defected revisits this timeless gem with a fresh remix from Prunk. One of the Netherland’s most valued musical exports of recent times and PIV founder, Prunk adds his signature bounce to the record for another unmissable addition to the Together series.

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
