Darwin operates in the realm of low-end frequencies, delivering a tripped-out, sub-rattling blend of styles firmly rooted in soundsystem culture.

Her sets move with swampy intensity and hypnotic flow, drawing dancers in while maintaining a quiet versatility. A seasoned crate digger across many genres, she’s as comfortable playing back-to-back with DJ Storm, Mala or Lena Willikens as she is closing out Bassiani or Berghain’s Klubnacht.

Born in Canada, Darwin found her way into dance music after moving to London—first working at fabric in the mid-2000s, then experiencing a bass eureka moment years later at a Swamp81 party. That defining night set the course for her next chapter in Berlin, where she founded her label SPE:C in 2015 to spotlight emerging global talents like Decka, Carré, Axle, Beatrice M., and Tano.
In 2016, she launched REEF at the now-defunct Griessmuehle, a club where she had started a monthly techno-focused DJ residency 2 years earlier that helped develop her signature stripped back, sci-fi-infused sound. The boundary-pushing party brought bass music’s alien energy into the heart of the techno capital, which now calls Berghain home. 

2024 marked a new chapter in Darwin’s evolution with the launch of ABYSS, a Sunday evening soundsystem series centered on the restorative power of low-end frequencies. Blending transcendental dance music with breathwork, meditation and healing practices, the event creates a space where sound connects body and mind. ABYSS has also teamed up with Wuppertal’s acclaimed Open Ground club for an extended weekend takeover, with plans to expand the concept to other cities in the future.

I LOVE making music.
Currently I am collaborating
with Chris O'Shea (SeaShea)
As ParQushea.
 
I have been making music and playing drums since the age of 9 -from Jazz to Punk.
I have played in many bands. 
Nu Tricx in the late 70's and early 80's in Stockport and Manchester. We recorded several demo's which I helped to produce. (Some of those releases can be seen at the bottom of this Soundcloud page.)
This is where my love of producing music began.

In the mid 80's I moved to Wales and joined a Welsh Folk Rock Band.    
During the 80's I also got into DJ ing.

I moved to Australia from the UK in the late 80's, and studied at SAE in Perth, WA. 
In the late 90's I moved to Cairns, Far North Queensland and got right into the Dance Music scene, becoming DJ Orange Peel. 
I hadn't played drums for almost 20 years, and in 2013 I got back into drumming, purchasing a Roland Drum kit. 

Since then I have been producing, recording and making music in my studio. 
I formed a collaboration with my good friend Chris O'Shea in 2018. Since then we have been making music together in my studio as 'ParQushea'.
