Darrien



Biography of Darrien

Real name / Darrien
Moniker(s) / Darrien, Darrien K

Darrien was infected with the Techno-bug in 1995, when he first heard Laurent Garnier playing a twelve-hour set at the 'Stufenbau'. The functionality of this music and the fact that it was so different from the rest of the nineties rave-music fascinated him immediately and eventually captured his heart. He began mixing this particular style the same year. First mixes were followed by first mixtapes, which lead to first bookings and things took off from there.

In the meantime Darrien has collected quite a stock of minimalisitc functional tracks and driving rhythms, expanding this particular style and making it his own. By doing more than simply placing one track after another, by not only mixing, but mashing up Minimal, Techno and Tech-House ( ,by a selective sampling of Minimal, Techno and Tech-House), and through his exceptionally creative dj-skills, he has made a name for himself. Next to various bookings all over Switzerland and neighbouring countries, he has been a resident of the renowned 'Rohstofflager' in Zurich since 2006, where his sets are enjoyed regularly.

Darrien's creative energy goes beyond clubs and stages. As a professional Software Engineer he's responsible for the technical implementation of the Birdz website. When not dj-ing, working or persuing his studies at the FH Zurich, he's been spending his free time in his home studio, producing his own music. In 2007 he celebrated his first vinyl-release.
