Darius

Describing Darius’ music is like trying to gather the infinitely large and the infinitely small or thinking music can be as hedonist as introspective. For almost ten years, the very discreet producer feeds us his dreamy music, filled with cosmic images. An intense universe revealed through his frenetic live sets and our imagination when we close our eyes, but also through meticulous visuals, photography and graphic design.

Darius cultivates his inspirations since his debut in 2012, same year when he meets Cézaire, founder of 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 first EP Romance, released on Roche Musique in 2014.

This EP gathers everything that characterize Darius as a unique producer: echoing chords, breaks that infinitely spread out and chorus that stick in your mind. That’s how ‘Hot Hands’ and ‘Espoir’ transcended borders, allowing Darius to travel and play live throughout the world, inspiring himself with new cultures and encounters. Some countries became a second home for Darius as his international audience keeps growing with the millions of plays that accumulates, especially in the USA (5M), Canada (1M), Russia (1M), Japan (1M), South Korea (1M) and Mexico (1M). Overall, today, about half a million people listen to his music every month, on all streaming platforms, numbers that would make Darius’ head spin.

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 and millimetric narrative, flirting somewhere between sound design and a sci-fi movie trailer music. On this occasion, he speaks up through a movie illustrating the album’s genesis.

Whether it’s through his own productions or remixes, (alongside those for The Magician, 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.

Let us all be guided and surprised by his utopian and ever-growing universe.

Darius debuts his return in 2020 with a new single titled ‘EQUILIBRIUM’ in collaboration with Wayne Snow, alongside a music video brilliantly directed by the talented Alice Kong.

This brand-new single will turn out to be an almost secrete announce for a new upcoming project from the artist, with singles featuring :

and Flwr Chyld ‘CAN’T LET GO’   https://deezer.page.link/QiPFqLKZT2EQ1HPJ9

Thus, in mid-April 2022, Darius released his new album, OASIS, presenting once again 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. The album is followed by the OASIS Tour, an international tour (UK, Mexico, Canada, USA) as summer approaches, a way to reconnect with the sunny energy of the producer who has no heart but to show the public this new facet of his artistic talent.
