This month's edition of the Darsh Sessions was a difficult set to put together. The winter months have taken their toll already during this young year and fighting my own self-doubts and personal demons proved difficult over the last number of weeks. When fiendish introspection besets the mind like a roiling cauldron of bats, it's much too easy to retreat into the familiar, to clothe yourself in "what works" even if "what works" truly doesn't work at all. So, instead of fighting off my present state, I embraced it and allowed the music to reflect this turmoil. House music was forged in strife, strife much more dire and visceral than any my privileged existence has ever known. While it provides escapist entertainment for many, for others house music acts like a candle in the darkness, illuminating a safe path home through the horrors of existence, both those originating from within and without. And when we dance, we dance to save another day, to save another sunrise... we dance to save ourselves. Much peace and love, everyone.

The Darsh Sessions #07: A Candle in The Darsh

Listen up, music lover. If you're looking for another run-of-the-mill DJ who's all about the flash and no substance, you're in the wrong place. But if you're seeking a craftsman of sound, a sonic adventurer, then lets connect.

You see, I'm not your run-of-the-mill beat jockey who just stumbled upon a passion for music because it was the cool thing to do. I've been in the trenches, diving headfirst into the intoxicating world of dance music. 

But let me tell you, it wasn't about just producing tracks, bootlegs, or the occasional DJ gig. Nah, that's child's play. My quest was to forge something far more meaningful: musical experiences that leave a mark, that make your soul hum along, that change the way you see the world, even if just for a moment.

Now, I'm not claiming to be the all-knowing sage atop the mountain. As Laozi once said, "The wise man is one who knows what he does not know." And I'm wise enough to know that it's not about inflating egos or claiming the spotlight. It's about creating a connection, a spark that ignites the heart and soul.

Music, to me, is like a universal language, a bridge that transcends cultural, linguistic, and social divides. It's not something to be taken lightly. It's a force to be reckoned with, one that deserves our utmost respect and reverence. And when wielded with care, it can transform the ordinary into the extraordinary.

So, here's the thing: my dance music journey isn't about me. It's about exploration, growth, and the thrill of discovery. It's about creating a sound that doesn't just hit the right notes, but also stirs the right emotions. It's about embracing humility, simplicity, and a deep-seated respect for the power of music. And ultimately, it's about bringing us a little closer, one beat at a time.

So, are you ready to join me on this journey?
