After a stellar 2023, we are pleased to welcome in 2024, with none other than Darien J, who makes his long-awaited debut on Saturo Sounds, with a 4-track EP titled “Snowball Effect”.
He writes ‘”Three deep, non-generic groovers and an intro track designed to make your sets stand out. The title track is one of my favourites to date with its big sound and deep meaning.”‘
The titular track is indeed a brooding groover with a darker, philosophical a capella layered on top, guaranteed to get the dance floor a-rocking. The second track “Basic Elements” picks things up a notch with a darker melodic element, while retaining the mysterious nature that is now an evident motif behind the EP. “Big Funky” lives up to its name with an immensely funky foundation reminiscent of a dance music record used to sound like when based solely on drum machines and sequencers. Finally, rounding out the release is the electronica number appropriately titled “Space Train” which can and should be used as an intro, outro, and DJ Tech Tool for any DJ set, live set, and/or podcast and mix.
