I have been a trance lover since the 1990's. As an American born Romanian 🇷🇴, I grew up only listening to eurodance and electronic music ⚡️. Living in Detroit, as a teenager I remember seeing Armin Van Buuren at the annual electronic music festival (now known as Movement) when it was still free to attend! I made my first trance mixes at age 17, completing five sets, inspired by the sounds of Gatecrasher, Ministry of Sound, and Ibiza. 

As an adult, I got back into the trance scene in 2010 while living in NYC, and it has not stopped since. My greatest inspiration the last decade has been the sets of Aly & Fila (Future Sound of Egypt), who I had the pleasure of meeting in Atlanta after one of the greatest productions I've ever seen. It's been a long heart-felt desire to mix my own sets again, and now in 2024 I'm ready to start! 

Let's go on this music journey together. You will see a rare blending of the uplifting melodic and vocal trance genre, with dark/hard trance. This polarity is a reflection of me... light ☀️ and darkness 🌒 are always fighting each other. 

Lets let the light win :) 🙌

Mercurial Virus also collaborated work with String Theory which were released on Nocturnal Knights, Redux & Phoenix Recordings.

Darren was clubbing at God Kitchen, Gatecrasher in the late 90’s and early 2000s, so he knows the original trance sound, but has developed his own style with a taste of film music influences.
Every Mercurial Virus track is unique and different to the last, which is why all tracks have a place.

If music be the food of love Play on - William Shakespeare. Old Bill would have loved Trance :-)
