My next guest on Yax Invites is DARYL.
Daryl, an Irish DJ who now calls Sydney home, has been a driving force in the city's techno scene for the past 5 years. Passionate about blending minimal hypnotic grooves, he believes this sound can captivate partygoers and foster a deep connection to the music, regardless of the time slot.
Daryl's journey began with organizing underground parties in unconventional venues such as beneath motorway bridges and warehouses, uniting a community of like-minded individuals and leaving a lasting impact on the local scene.
As one of the three founders of the up-and-coming event, New School, Daryl is excited about its promising direction. Additionally, he is one of four founders involved in Submerge, an event originating from vibrant boat parties around Sydney Harbour, renowned for its infectious minimal groove sound in unique settings.
Through his involvement in the scene, Daryl has had the privilege of supporting renowned DJs such as MARRรN, Mac Declos, Bailey Ibbs, Stranger, BOURS?, Toru Ikemoto, and Connor Wall, thanks to the platforms provided by Hypno, RAW, and Undisclosed. Furthermore, he holds a residency as a DJ for the highly successful underground event, The Lab, which has been a cornerstone of the Sydney music scene since its inception.
"Being totally honest, there was no preparation or plan in place for this mix. It's a playlist of tracks that really stood out to me, which I managed to dig out on Bandcamp recently. I always aim for a constant swing and groove in all of my mixes. This 2-hour mix maintains a steady 144bpm throughout, featuring a blend of different varieties of groove, ranging from dark, heavy-hitting tracks to fun, minimal beats. When I don't have a specific time slot to play and when I'm recording for fun, I like to combine all these different sounds.
I hope you all enjoy it!"
