Darien J DJ
United Kingdom
Registrace 12. 03. 2009
Electronic Artist
(deep/dance/music)
Please don’t assume my genre.
linktr.ee/darienjdj
Darien J, based in Brighton UK, is a producer, curator, and mixer of deep dance music. He has a firm belief that his music is for dancing not chin scratching, foot gazing, ego stroking or selfie taking. Like a musical sponge Darien constantly absorbs wide-ranging influences and is wrung out on radio stations and dancefloors around the world.
Totally ignoring genre limitations, he manages to combine elements from the deepest side of house, electronica and techno in both his DJ sets and productions. This kind of petulant behaviour might be expected from a young upstart new on the scene but believe it or not this is a veteran of over 20 years who has dance moves to match.
In keeping with his DIY approach Darien completed a challenge to self-release one track every week in 2021 which can be found at darienjdj.bandcamp.com/

Enjoyed the jam. Thank you
Cheers dude. 🙌
Amazing vibe. Hitting hard! Thank you!
Cheers dude! 🙏
Nice vibe! 😎 Do you have a preference among Elektron devices?
Cheers dude. Each of the boxes serves a purpose in my setup but if I had to choose one it would be the Syntakt.
Wabbit sent me too - just got off the bus.I'm not subdued but i've subbed dude and my thumb has been zupped !
Thanking you most kindly. Good to know you’re there! 🙌
Wabbit sent me over, subbed dude, cool vibes 🙏
Thanks buddy! 🙌
Inspiring. Thank you 🫡💪🏼🤘🏻❤
Thank you for the feedback! So glad you got some value from it. 🙏
The ear candy sounds, transitions and driving beat. Great stuff!
Thank you! Your feedback is motivating . 🙏❤️
This is too good. Got me up and moving. Keep jamming. You have a talent. Thank you.
Ah thank you again. So pleased you appreciate what I’m doing. Will hel to get me through the production sessions to finish these off! 🙏❤️
siiick!!
Cheers! 🙌
Wait but dosnt that just prolong it
No, you just have to open up the loop again when you’re ready to focus on it. It also works in the reverse - open up a loop to plant the reminder to get something done. 😉
I do this all the time
Still catches me out! Much more aware of it happening now though so rarely for very long. 😅
Sick jam! I like the up beat house groove
Thank you! 🙏
Nice~~~~~~~~
Thank you! Cheers!
I thought it was called persistence in English. Nevertheless, I completely agree.
Same same but different. 😘🙏
🔥🔥🔥Wikkid Darien J 🎧💯 Dig this sound
Thank you mate. Appreciate taking the time to comment. 🙏
Sounds great man wtf, 3 Elektrons lined up great sounds tuff and lush at the same time 😎🤙
Thank you! It’s getting there. 😅
This is great. Can you explain which device is master clock? And what is the experience interacting the Elektron boxes with the 1010 Blackbox?
The Syntakt is the master clock (the one I bought first) and the Blackbox plays nicely with the other boxes but I have barely scratched the surface of its functionality so far.
Love it. Subbed
Awesome, thank you! 🙏
Sounds great
Thank you. Glad you enoyed it. 😁
@@darienjdj 🙂
😮😮😮❤love it 😅
Thanks for the kind words. Glad you enjoyed it! 🙏
Equipment used Two top pieces
1010music Bluebox (digital mixer) and Blackbox (sampler)
Great energy!rock on mate 🤘
Thank you! 🙌
Nice 1 fella. That's a lotta Elektron boxes! Is there any processing on your master outs? Can I offer my humble opinion? If you are not running your master outs thru a mixing desk, I would certainly do that, and add some subtle EQing. Specifically, I would scoop out some of the top of the bass spectrum - so a couple dB reduction around 200 Hz to make kick and bass less muddy - and then add a couple dBs with a gentle Q around 2 kHz to make your clap a bit more present in the mix.
Cheers for the feedback dude. Unfortunately not running through any other outboard at the moment except the FMR Audio RNLA7239 leveling amp. I haven't spent any time mxing the ideas yet outside of the boxes as time is limited (and only using my Shure SCL2 in ears which lack low end response) but will add a 2db dip at 200hz on the Syntakt channel on the Bluebox! Thanks mate. 🙏
what do you have on the blackbox and how does it integrate with the elektron scheme of patterns and banks?
At the moment I’m just triggering extra samples from the Blackbox with the 8 Midi tracks on the Digitakt. Some are just one shots but also playing simple background atmospheric melodies using the granular sampling feature. Will be using it for longer stereo samples and looping too eventually to hell with transitions. I’m manually changing patterns on each box when playing a live set so they overlap with each other when transitioning between tunes. Can’t help trying to DJ with the setup!
Had a really great time with you Darien... so fun chatting and making some live techno! Can't wait to get in the studio with you again 😊🙏
It was my pleasure! Thanks for being such a great guest! 🙏
This was great both D and Nina, loved hearing about your journey Nina. I'm glad you found the light and settled on the best genre 😂. But D, i think it's time after listening to this...minimal techno is back baby!
It never left...
Thanks so much 😊🙏
Cheers Dave!
Nice one Darien! 😊😊🙌🙌

The best one yet!
