ABOUT OUR GUEST
"Darien J, based in Brighton UK, is a performer, curator, and mixer of deep dance music. He has a firm belief that his music is for dancing not chin-scratching, foot-gazing, ego-stroking, or selfie-taking. Like a musical sponge, Darien constantly absorbs wide-ranging influences and is wrung out on radio stations and dance floors around the world. Totally ignoring genre limitations, he manages to combine elements from the deepest side of house, electronica, and techno in both his live performances, DJ sets, and productions.
This kind of petulant behaviour might be expected from a young upstart new on the scene but believe it or not this is a veteran of over 20 years who has the dance moves to match. Since his debut release of The Dubstar EP on Cubism Records in 2008 his skills in the studio have improved in equal but opposite measure to the decrease in tempo of the music he is willing to dance to. His latest live project has been described as sounding like ‘the abandoned love child of a twisted love triangle of Stimming, Saytek and Kink’.
Over the years Darien’s music has found homes on other trendy labels like Motek, Submarine Vibes, Inside Out, Chapter 24, and Polyptych amongst others. Following a busy 2023 in the DJ booth supporting the likes of Prismode and Solvane, Dubspeeka, and Evil Tom, Darien has also been performing and recording his hardware-only live performances with a view to an album launch in 2024"
