Since moving to the UK as a 14 year old, Darius’ fascination with electronic music has never waned, having initially been infected by its futuristic lure at an underground party back in 1991. Taking formative influences from New York, Detroit and Chicago masters such as Kenny Dope, Derrick Carter, Derrick May, DJ Sneak and Carl Craig, a pure and unadulterated house sound has always been Darius’ pre-occupation in place of passing fads or zeitgeist defining trends.
The last few years have been a blur to say the least. Tirelessly touring, remixing, producing as well as taking on new musical commitments has seen Darius catapulted from ‘the worker’s champion’ in Ibiza to an international brand that is a symbol of non-conformist DJing and a musical pigeon hole destroyer all rolled into one.
Anyone that knows Darius via his social media circles, knows he’s not one to sit quietly while anyone with a poorly formed opinion is negative about the scene he so clearly loves. This is one of the many reasons for Darius’s bonafide popularity. He does not care about DJ top 100 charts, who is cool and who’s not. He cares about playing the music he loves and giving the dance floor the best night of their lives.
Darius’ success in recent years is partly down to having been a resident for 3 different parties that although all started as brand new nights in ibiza were by the end of each season one of the best parties that summer on the white isle, VIVa Warriors, Tribal Sessions & Do Not Sleep all had Darius as resident in their first season and all three parties were a big hit on the island,
Releases on labels such as Get Physical, VIVa Music, Hot Creations, 8 bit, Avotre & many more have also helped Darius gain the loyal following that he has, in 2014 The annual clubbing awards in Ibiza voted Darius as Best House DJ of 2014. Usually he would take this with a pinch of salt but it was voted for by the public, which is the only real opinion that Darius recognises. The same year Darius helped Sankeys relaunch Tribal Sessions in Manchester a party which saw every show become a sell out. This residency won Darius DJ Magazine’s Best of British award for best resident DJ of 2014.
in 2015 after leaving Sankeys his focus that summer included shows at Space Opening Fiesta, Hyte at Amnesia, Kehakuma and his main weekly residency for Do Not Sleep at Vista which was a roaring success, & one of the stand out parties & success stories of ibiza 2015
Fast forward to 2016 & it is proving to be another huge year for Darius. Relentless touring, spreading his sound around the world has now seen him play pretty much every major festival in the world taking in too many countries to list, spread over every continent on the globe.
fresh new music coming out on various labels not to mention his own DO NOT SLEEP imprint, which adds a musical dimension to the name of his white-hot Ibiza parties. His career to date would show you that Darius has not broken the mould of what a modern house & techno DJ should be, he chooses to follow in the footsteps of the house scene’s forefathers, and has the ability and intuition to link the past and future together.
