The very discreet producer has been feeding us with his dreamy music, filled with cosmic images, for almost ten years. Darius cultivates his inspiration from the French Touch era while bringing together spatial territories and immersed symbolism.
Darius makes him known in 2014 with his ROMANCE EP fulled of trademark songs, one of them, ’Hot Hands’ has generated more than 80M listenings on streaming platforms.
The artist's debut album, UTOPIA, released in 2017, symbolises a cosmic and hypnotic travel that makes you want more. Beyond uptempo and club hits Darius unfolds a precise narrative, flirting somewhere between sound design and sci-fi movie trailer music.
Darius has successfully achieved his return in 2020 with a brand new single entitled ‘EQUILIBRIUM’. The latter turns out to be an almost secret announcement of a new upcoming project: OASIS. This concept album, released in 2023, combines the OASIS Trilogy and features Benny Sings on ‘RISE’ and Duñe on 'FEELS RIGHT’. This project catalyses his musical mute, conductor of a new genre filled with groove and soul while retaining the electronic touch and dreamy melodies specific to his universe.
I saw Darius at the Mid. Overall it was a great time. His music was dancy-er than I expected off of his soundcloud, and the crowd he drew with The Magician was really solid. Would definitely see him again.
