Darius (Fr)
Biografía
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, OASIS.
The prelude EP to this new album is out on November 19th with singles featuring Benny Sings ‘RISE, Duñe ‘FEELS RIGHT’, Amaria ‘FADED’ and FlwrChyld ‘CAN’T LET GO’. Once again Darius is exploring new sounds and is showing us his transition from visionary electro producer to a complete artist and conductor of a new genre filled with groove, soul, whilst maintaining his solid electronic touch and dreamy melodies.
After the OASIS released, it is the start of an US tour and live shows all over Europe, due to May. Thrilled to return close to the public, it’ll be the perfect occasion for Darius to showcase once again his solar energy and these new aspects of his artistry.
