Internationally renowned musician, keyboard supremo, bass player, composer, sound engineer and producer, Darren Morris, is credited on over 700 recordings to date and his CV reads like a Who’s Who of major Dance, pop/rock/indie productions over the last 25 years. He’s worked extensively on projects with industry luminaries including Tim Goldsworthy (DFA Records, LCD Soundsystem, Mo’Wax), Jagz Kooner (The Aloof, Sabres, Primal Scream), Ashley Beedle (X-Press 2) and David Holmes (Unloved). 

Darren’s work on cinematic soundtracks can be heard on the David Holmes 1998 ‘Out of Sight’ soundtrack, recorded over 5 weeks at the acclaimed Sunset Marquis Nightbird Studio, LA. In 2013, Darren co-composed and wrote the string section, solo cello and piano for the soundtrack to the US remake of ‘We Are What We Are’, directed by Jim Mickle, with Phil Mossman (Sabres Of Paradise/ LCD Soundsystem). The UK film premiere at The Empire Cinema in London saw Darren and Phil in their best suits being interviewed on stage before presenting the film to the 2013 Fright Fest audience.

Other notable achievements include The Maccabees 2012 ‘Given To The Wild’ LP, Massive Attack’s ‘Heligoland’, Primal Scream’s ‘XTRMNTR’, Manic Street Preachers ‘Know Your Enemy’, Red Snapper’s ‘Some Kind of Kink’, X-Press 2’s ‘Make Shift Feel Good’ and the 2010 notable body of work known as ‘Mavis’. Co-written and produced by Darren and Ashley
Beedle, the album features a whole host of collaborators including Candi Staton, Cerys Matthews, Ed Harcourt, Sarah Cracknell (St Etienne), Kurt Wagner (Lambchop) and Edwyn Collins (Orange Juice). With Darren at the helm as Musical Director, ‘Mavis’ was performed live at The Big Chill with the performance being aired on BBC 6 Music and Radio 2.

Darren’s signature ‘sound’ has featured on outstanding productions including Ashley Beedle’s remixes of ‘Stand Up Jamrock’ by Bob Marley and The Wailers and The Rolling Stones ‘Rain Fall Down’, Jagz Kooner’s remix of ‘Shock of The Lightening’ by Oasis, ‘Beautiful Day’ by U2 remixed by David Holmes and Tim Goldsworthy’s ‘Pray For Rain’ by Massive Attack. Darren has also been at the forefront of UK and US dance/house/disco productions, not only as a highly sought after musician but as a co-writer and producer. Tracks with London’s ‘Horse Meat Disco’ and Kathy Sledge (of Sister Sledge fame) were on heavy rotation on dance radio stations and his first collaboration with DJ Sophie Lloyd resulted in the epic gospel house anthem, ‘Calling Out Your Name’ ft. Dames Brown which has had well over 10 million streams on Spotify.

During the week, Darren works at his North Street West studio, remixing, producing and co-writing with his regular clients including Jo Wallace of Ramrock Records, Ashley Beedle, Colleen Murphy, Sophie Lloyd and Alan Dixon. In 2016, the original North Street Studio spawned the ‘North Street’ remixes and production team of the same name, comprising of Darren Morris, Ashley Beedle and Jo Wallace. When the studio moved West, the remixes were renamed accordingly - North Street West and No’West. The remix output of the NSW crew’s mixes has achieved worldwide critical acclaim within the music industry, with staunch supporters including BBC 6 Music’s Craig Charles. Darren’s most recent album co-production with Jo Wallace is Joseph Malik’s extraordinary September 2023 release, ‘Proxima Ebony’ on Ramrock Red Records.

When not in the studio, Darren is on the road as a keyboard player for Steve Mason (ex-Beta Band), who he has performed with since January 2016. Major highlights with Steve Mason include a unique orchestral performance at the London Barbican, a BBC 6 Music session at the legendary Maida Vale Studios and appearing on an impressive billing with The Stone Roses and Primal Scream at Hampden Park Stadium, Glasgow.  Darren also worked as a co-writer on Steve’s 2019 album, ‘About The Light’ on Domino Records, produced by the brilliant Stephen Street. 

In 2016, Darren released his inspiring album, ‘Union I’, featuring an improvised performance on the world famous organ at London’s Union Chapel which was superimposed with cinematic string machines and spacey mini-moog orchestration.

In January 2023, Darren and Ashley Beedle were commissioned to write the music to the incredibly moving BBC 4 podcast series, ‘Breaking Mississippi’, which told the inside story of James Meredith’s war against racial segregation in 1960s America. Broadcast during March 2023, The Guardian deemed it the ‘Best Podcast of the Week’ and it’s available on the BBC Radio 4 website. Since collaborating with Ashley Beedle in 2006 on ‘Make Shift Feel Good’, Darren is one half of ‘Afrikanz on Marz, and most recently, Darren has become the third member of the iconic dance music team, Black Science Orchestra with original founders, Ashley and Rob Mello. The three are presently working together on new Black Science Orchestra material which will release in 2024. Darren is also part of the wonderfully eccentric alternative pop duo, Suddenly WOW! With fellow band member, Otti Albietz, Darren has released ‘Little Things’ and ‘Plastic Life’ original and ‘Plastic Life’ (Remix EP) in 2023 with the space funk composition, ‘Space Soul Mother’ landing in 2024.

Old dirty Rastaman from early Commodore demoscene days. Now with a brand new handle outside da scene.

Once upon a time a child was born. He was a kind, loving child always wearing a smile. All over people were amazed at how relaxed and positive someone can be. But when he was on the steps of growing up he found an apple, which everyone said he shouldn’t bite. He was also inquisitive and curious, so he had to taste it. The apple was so sweet, that it made him do foul things for a long time. After years of adventures, wondering and rebelling he found himself stuck suffering at the flames of hell (sink). Most of his friends were ruined or dead. The apple wasn’t so good anymore and he was lost like a snowman in Jamaica.

But then one day he got pieces of paper which he ate. It was no normal paper, for it was magical mind altering paper. He had tasted it before, but only had small glimpses of the universe and how it worked. This time it was different, for he had learnt enough during his travels to step further forward. An ancient wise spirit of an indian appeared from the sun. It put a hand on the child’s head and said: “Rise dear child. For you have a destiny to fulfill.” The child was amazed and couldn’t say anything. 

The indian continued: “I will resurrect you from here to a new dawn, but you must promise me something.” The child nodded his head on agreement. 
“First you will move where you humans belong, in the middle of nature.” it said.
“Second, you will plant shaman seeds for all mankind with love, kindness, knowledge and rhythms.” 
The child answered: “I will do what you say, please get me out of this misery.” 
The indian had a sad look: “No, Helaku. You will find your own way out of it, I’m here only to give you a new chance, a new beginning.” 
The child tried to talk “but how can I…”, but the indian interrupted. 
“You will find the answers if you just follow what the king, the sun tells you. Follow your instincts, love the world and the universe. It will show you the way. Be true to yourself and others.”
“I will do that, I promise.” the boy muttered.
“Then there is the third part of trinity which you must fulfill to succeed. It’s probably the most important thing. You must find your soul mate. Together you will rise to new heights of being, which will give you the biggest cosmic energy there is. And with the power of that energy you will be able to do amazing things and help the whole planet. It needs your help.”
“True love?” the boy asked.
The indian smiled: “Yes my son, you have knowledge of it already. Now you just have to dare.”
“But how can I trust anyone after all these heartbreaks and sneaky women I’ve met?” The boy said.
“Get a grip of yourself, you will know when the time is right. It will come if you just follow the sun.”
The boy nodded.
“I will give you new life and you will be reborn. And you will grow beautiful new life all over the universe. Now rise, Helaku my son.”

There was a bright flash of the clearest white light there is and it bathed on the boy and the indian disappeared. And so the boy was reborn as Helaku, which is an indian name meaning full of sun.

The rest is future or his-tory, possibly her-story, which you will learn some day. Be kind, be love. Be metta. Love life and it will love you back.

first band, 6 of us - 1978 - i was sacked, but kept writing anyway, even from my family band, - the write began all saints day 1978 - wommin bay blues - . first song was looking glass - the la's - ...mission was to be bigger than the beatles - the 1978 write of more than a dozen bands, movies - some inventions ( better screw driver, with heads in handle, and rubber ring to hold heads also ) some cures ( laser surgery, organ transplants )... ads, it also went to flags, and shops, and traffic, design - we got the first named freeway in Australia - in planning -
- the 1992 write - pushed it to more than 50 bands, and more than 100 movies, some books, comics, ads, plus all the other stuff. and both writes for me, also involved premonitions about our enemies, and some of us. - from the 1978 write and after the success of ET, I was told that Spielberg has a site in Sydney for a Dreamworks studio, it is in holding, for me. It is the flour mill site Lewisham/SummerHill/Dulwich Hill ( west Lewisham - according to the Light Rail ) I have a concept for the look of it - 4 pillared - -- I was told later that it was too small, but theyll keep it anyway for what I have in mind, and this is it - 4 pillared, modular, underground parking, basement studios as well, ground level, coffee shops, and retail, residential above. it is modular - the main one, a big one  is supposed to go in at Everleigh, modular, at West Lewisham, - and other stuidios invloved too - FOX, Dreamworks, - and whats George upto and others such as Ron Howard/ Guy Ritchie - a sort of bizarre - trilogy - on the move depending on whose got the third for a while - basically a working studio down sized so people can like work from home - right there - so all would need to be inclusive and close by.   -  also the buildings penthouses dont exist - pools and BBQ's and veggie gardens and herb gardens / sub penthouse gym and spas and saunas and lounge areas/ bar / communial cafe, type. solar panelled walls exterior. - ...


The Grave Daisies, then The Art Collection, then Lavish, then Agent 13, busking and vicarious and various happenings.
The Lavish write was most prolific, and started a way to work that is still happening. Latest been living in my car since January 2013. travelling and busking Sydney Brisbane. recording as i go bits and pieces. Went to Bondi again to play the improvised runs on Moondance that was the basis for a collective write ( brett layton - to the bass player of sneaky - to connie ) of one song for Connie - of the Sneaky Sound System - i had to because i did it years ago and some of the old locals remembered so i had to go back and do it again. saw her italian managers - well, they saw me, complicated on takes - as people who have ripped me off send people out to observe or threaten or talk around - ie never humbly directly appreciative of what we have done for them. ...just honouring the agreement of May 1992 is all that is needed - having that legal position defended by the country was harder then anyone could possibly imagine.  I have had groups of people representing UK bands we wrote for sending people out to OZ - to see where to take their take  basically - ...there were weird plays of we ll sign you and set up a band and then you have to work in that band to get paid out of the monies illegally held in a trust run by lawyers that if i were to ask for it directly from them they would play me - is germanic meanings of phrases, never do what I ask of them the way i want - ...i guess people who dont know sometimes see artists doing weird behaviour in their personal lives - its because theyve been stolen from and played by those around them - managers lawyers family members - some turn and run rather than being allowed to peacefully be a moving party.   Still hoping that people will do waht is right - but so far all it has been is that they take it as an opportunity to re-assert a steal rather then defend with humility and humbleness..... zealotic sociopathic criminals  - who set out to try to make a kingaroy nutbag out of everyone.

BIO:

When music is your yin and racing your yang, it’s no surprise that London-born Farah Nanji, known by her artist alias N1NJA, has had some of the world's wisest stages spinning into transcendent circles for the last decade.

Trained by the renowned Buddha Bar Group at the inception of her career, N1NJA is currently the resident at Blue Marlin Ibiza in London and she paints her creative canvas through an extraordinary exploration of live sounds and enchanting frequencies, from the electric guitar to the sitar, inspired heavily by her ethnic roots from the Indian and African sub continents. These sounds create hypnotic portals which are looped into pulsating waves of deep tech and techno, creating an emotive experience for listeners whether they find themselves on her dancefloor at Pacha Destino Ibiza, the United Nations, or the Steelyard in London.

DJ MAG cites Farah as a ‘fast-rising, mega-talented star’ with a captivating debut of releases on prestigious imprints such as Mobilee and Sol Selectas, and a sequence more to come on Sounds of Khemit and beyond.

  
Outside the music studio, she is a well-known thought leader globally recognized as a motorsports entrepreneur, podcaster, and journalist. Farah has dug deep into the ancestral art of the warrior to transcend Dyspraxia, a motor coordination difficulty that she was diagnosed with. She is one of the few musicians in the world to deliver a TEDx talk on the topic of rewiring the brain.

Farah is currently the producer and host of the no.1 podcast series, Mission Makers, which dives deep into the mindset and misconceptions of leaders in music, motorsport, and business. She has interviewed prolific guests from Pete Tong, Carl Cox, Bob Moses, Lee Burridge, Deepak Chopra, and more.

In the education realm, Farah is a lecturer at Point Blank in London as well as a highly accomplished panelist and moderator in Davos. She is also a curator at IMS, working alongside Pete Tong and Ben Turner to pave meaningful change for future generations.
