Music Mondays:: Darius

 

Artist Overview

For almost ten years, the discreet producer feeds us his dreamy music, filled with cosmic images. Darius cultivates his inspirations since his debuts in 2012, the year he joined his label Roche Musique, who didn’t think twice about offering him to be part of the Label. Inspired by filtered house music from the French Touch era, Darius takes nonetheless a different path than his elders. At a time when everyone would still sample, he chose to bring together spatial territories and immersed symbolic, through melodies that make you want to dance as much as dream, like his EP « Romance », released on Roche Musique in 2014. With this first project, Darius becomes more meticulous and plays with hypnotic textures when he presents his debut album “Utopia” in 2017. Beyond uptempo and club songs, Darius unfolds a precise narrative, between sound design and a sci-fi movie trailer music. Whether it’s through his own productions, collaborations (with FKJ, Dabeull, ((( O )))...) or remixes (alongside those for Dua Lipa, Lianne La Havas or Jessie Ware), Darius always shares a dreamy vision through his music, based on symbolism and mental landscapes that he wishes to pass on.

MUSIC MONDAY SERIES

Scientists believe that listening to music in a group helps people to connect. This connection happens because the rhythm in the music helps people's brains synchronize. This allows them to coordinate their body movements. As a result, music can influence how we work in a group. While I wish we could all be at concerts together all the time, sadly, we can not. However, thanks to the internet, sites like Spotify, Soundcloud, and Youtube, we can share some fantastic artists making incredible music. Check out our other Music Monday posts.
