DE LA SWING
DE LA SWING North America Soundcloud Spotify Youtube Instagram Facebook X-twitter De La Swing (aka Domingo Bellot) has become one of the most solid DJs and producers on the electronic scene in Spain, Europe and the world. The Madrid native was influenced at the beginning of his career by the sounds of icons such as Laurent Garnier, Fatboy Slim or The Chemical Brothers, without letting a single style take over his repertoire. Genres such as d&b, techno and house have marked his career, but also cuts closer to broken rhythms, such as the hip-hop exhibited by Mos Def, Cypress Hill or DJ Shadow, among many others. A lot of time has passed and De La Swing has experienced a notable evolution in his sound, which currently navigates close to minimal, deep and sounds closer to classic house. Being a highly sought-after artist in scenes such as the United Kingdom, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, also consolidating strongly in the USA and all of South America, De La Swing has also conquered more exotic destinations, such as the United Arab Emirates, South Africa or Australia. Read more An adopted son of Barcelona, if anything has stood out in De La Swing’s recent career it is his involvement and fundamental role as a resident of one of the most important clubbing brands on the planet. Being an active part of the elrow family, De La Swing has established himself as one of the reference artists within its roster, becoming a resident in his own right both at elrow Barcelona and at its parties in Ibiza (elrow Ibiza). Memorable moments such as the closing of Space Ibiza in 2016 are now behind us and De La Swing has managed to establish himself in elrow’s new home in Ibiza, Amnesia. But his dominance has not stopped there, being one of the favourites of the Ibizan public also at Blue Marlin, Sankeys or the legendary DC10, Privilege or Ushuaïa Ibiza. Thanks to his work and effort, clubs around the world regularly feature him, both in Spain (elrow, Input, Pacha Barcelona, Fabrik and Mondo in Madrid, Industrial Copera in Granada or Papagayo Night Club, in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria) and in Latin America, where De La Swing has strengthened its presence in recent years. Not in vain, he can call his home in great clubs such as PM Open Air, Zeef, Rio Electronic, Metropolitano or BNP, in Argentina; La Feria or Club del Sol Sunshine, in Chile; Lost Beach, in Montañita (Ecuador), Blue Parrot or Hardpop (Mexico); Salón Amador (Colombia); or La Tribu, in Lima (Peru). Not to mention his regular presence in Europe and the United Kingdom, in clubs such as Tobacco Dock, Fabric, Ministry Of Sound, Warehouse Project, Egg London, Village Underground (United Kingdom); Social Music Club, Cocorico, Amnesia Milano or Bolgia (Italy); or De Marktkantine and Massilo (Netherlands). Her regular residency at elrow’s itinerant parties has led her to take the stages of the world’s main festivals, such as Tomorrowland in Belgium; Streetparade in Zurich; Parklife at Heaton Park in Manchester; Glastonbury in Somerset; elrow Town or Lovebox in London; Hideout Festival in Croatia; Family Picnic in Montpellier; Output and Flash Factory in New York; Halcyon in San Francisco; Encore Beach Club in Las Vegas; as well as Space, Treehouse or Heart in Miami (USA); the legendary Mysteryland, Loveland or 18H Festival in the Netherlands; or Ultra Music Festival in South Africa. And we cannot forget major national events: Dreambeach Villaricos or her sessions at the head of elrow Stage at the legendary Monegros Desert Festival. De La Swing has also strengthened her role as label manager and A&R for the elrow Music label, making her one of the references for the most rogue sound. The label, which is a regular on the number ones on platforms such as Beatport, has now diversified its sound with its satellite label, elrow Limited, dedicated to more select, deep and underground sounds. Charismatic, full of energy, deep and groove: De La Swing’s sets have evolved a lot in recent years, always displaying his familiarity with an audience that loves him and demands more every day. This has led him to evolve his sound, combining his time in the booth with hours and hours in the studio, and to publish on labels such as Surge, Pitch, Cécille, Rendr, Deeperfect or Glasgow Underground, as well as on elrow Music itself and elrow Limited. This hard work has paid off, and in 2021 De La Swing has been recognized with the cover of the May edition of the prestigious publication DJ Mag, in its edition in Spain. A milestone that will forever be marked in the retina of the clubbing world. Whether as a resident of elrow, in his various national and international commitments, handling the ins and outs of elrow Music and elrow Limited or producing his own works in the studio and publishing on vinyl only labels, De La Swing is a sure bet for music with depth, finesse, style and a lot of groove.

DARIUS SYROSSIAN
DARIUS SYROSSIAN North & South America Soundcloud Spotify Youtube Instagram Facebook Driven by an unwavering passion for music, Darius Syrossian has dedicated his life to collecting and sharing the highest quality house and techno records. Unpretentious and hard working with a wealth of experience dating back to the early nineties, Darius’ knowledge and dexterity allows him to transcend generations cultivating an electrifying atmosphere on the dancefloor everywhere he plays. As a selector, producer, label curator and radio host his genuine love for good music in all its forms shines through. His enthusiasm is limitless, matched only by his determination to keep the true spirit of club culture alive. An electronic music aficionado, Darius Syrossian stands in a class of his own, staunchly refusing to follow trends, carving out his own path and bringing along a diverse, devoted army of ravers with him. Read more Ever since his first experience of electronic music at York Racecourse in 1992, Darius has been a diehard member of the club community. In his formative years he spent 15 years working in record shops – Global Beat Records followed by world-famous Leeds outlet Crash Records. Through his work at both shops he acquired extensive knowledge of House Music, Garage and techno & Disco,refining his own tastes in the process. Of course, parallel to his jobs at the record shops, he was DJing and learning to produce. This key stage in his life formed the foundation of everything he stands for now: the timeless, universal power of good quality music, unity on the dancefloor and a total disregard for trends and fads. In the years that followed Darius has established himself as a UK hall of fame act. His DJ residency at Tribal Sessions in Manchester is the stuff of legend, holding court at Sankeys pretty much every week in the early 2010’s, cutting his chops with Jeff Mills, Derrick May, Felix Da Housecat, Dave Clarke, Joey Beltram, Danny Tenaglia, Mr G and Francois K were just a sample of the great and good that joined him at the disused soap factory, which became one of the world’s most well known nightclubs. In tandem, Darius kicked off his international career by touring the globe with Steve Lawler, touching down all over the world to play side-by-side with one of the best-known DJs of that, and any, era. Two long-running periods of his music career that bestowed him with priceless experience as a selector. Playing weekly all over the world to varied crowds, on different soundsystems and audio setups means Darius has been able to refine his craft, acquiring way more than the 10,000 hours needed to reach an higher level of expertise. The result of this is an impeccable level of understanding when it comes to rocking the dance floor and connecting with the ravers. Thanks to years of hard graft Darius now has a global following, with a substantial back catalogue of deadly productions and a consistently packed gig schedule. Alongside his exploits in the studio and on the road, he has also launched his own record label – Moxy Muzik, which hit the ground running in 2019. Encompassing his core ethos, the label and associated parties, distill club culture down to its essentials, that is: extended DJ sets in intimate club spaces, something which Darius feels current club culture is neglecting. With regular sold out Moxy Muzik events in Manchester at the newly refurbished Joshua Brooks, a club where Darius had a hand in the whole design & layout & lighting, Moxy Muzik has also hosted sold out shows at Fabric London, OFF Sónar, ADE Amsterdam & more, Moxy Muzik is about simplicity, avoiding the trappings of today’s commercialised world of underground music and taking it back to the source. Club culture is built on diversity and the music taking priority over gimmicks, though somewhere along the line that ethos seems to have been forgotten. With Moxy Muzik, Darius Syrossian wants to bring back that original feeling. So far the label has featured an array of talent, representing all generations from contemporary acts to more established producers and those in the middle. Artists who’ve appeared on Moxy Muzik include Enzo Siragusa, Phil Weeks, Doc Martin, Ben Rau, East End Dubs, Man Power, Rich NXT, Christian Burkhardt, Tommy Vicari Jnr, DJ Sneak, Seb Zito and many more. Each artist selected for their unique style and energy, and not their social media following. Moxy Muzik has allowed Darius to fully express his vision of what clubs and raving should be about, from the varied styles of music on the label to the vibrant parties, each one a sell out. In the studio Darius channels an intuitive understanding of the dancefloor into all of his productions. Over 20 years of gigs all over the world, preceded by several years as a fully fledged raver, mean that his approach to writing and arranging music in informed by a wealth of first-hand experience. His ability to create tracks that cause pandemonium on the dancefloor is instinctive, resulting in a plethora of releases on some of the most respected labels around. They Get Physical, Robsoul, Drumcode, Hot Creations, 8Bit, Solid Grooves, Moon Harbour, We Are The Brave and the mighty Defected, with whom his ethos is strongly aligned. Both Darius and the iconic record label do it for the love of house, for the love of beats, for the love of dance… One look at his varied releases tells you this is an artist who is unconcerned with genre labels, a producer who’s as comfortable writing a driving club banger as he is delivering classic vocal house or Garage. – Darius continues to be one of the few acts to connect the old and new schools of electronic music, whilst staying on top of the pile. On the decks Darius is versatile, professional and adept at to build a symbiotic relationship with the dancefloor faithful. Preferring to play a minimum of three

Read more If Ben Rau has a knack for getting to the heart of what the dancefloor wants and needs, it’s because he’s spent more than his fair share of time on it. With releases on labels including Knee Deep in Sound, his own INKAL imprint and the iconic BBE Music , plus gigs all over the world everywhere from Amnesia to Glastonbury, BPM to Pitch Festival and a previous Fuse residency, his is a dancefloor journey that is decades in the making. Born in Berlin and raised in the countryside of North Germany, he first fell for music listening to the likes of Michael Jackson and Issac Hayes on American Forces Network Radio before discovering hip hop in his early teens. “Where I grew up in Germany, there weren’t that many black people around,” says Ben “So I think I was always looking for role models to follow in music.” With an older brother who was already into electronic music, by the mid ‘90s, Ben found himself at the heart of one of the most exciting moments in musical history, as Berlin opened up to the sounds of house, techno and trance in the wake of the Berlin wall falling. “First of all my older brother would bring back tapes of Sven Vath’s radio show,” says Ben. “And then we started going out in Berlin. The city was absolutely popping off by the mid-90s with the wall coming down, and there were so many derelict properties in East Berlin that people were turning into rave venues.” Already an avid record collector, Ben headed to the UK to study in Bournemouth, and found himself learning to DJ on a friend’s decks and beginning to put on parties in the city as the UK house scene flourished and UK garage started to break through. “By the time I learnt to DJ, I’d already been a raver for six or seven years and it just became an addiction for me,” says Ben. “New vinyl would be arriving on my doorstep every day and I was spending all of my time and money on it.” Eventually moving to London in the mid-2000s with a steely determination to make it as a DJ, Ben won a mix competition in dance music magazine IDJ, judged by Nic Fancuili, before beginning to pick up gigs and make a name for himself in the capital. “At the time, the minimal sound was starting to break through with people like Ricardo Villalobos and Richie Hawtin becoming massive,” says Ben. “And I was always buying all of the records from the German labels that not everyone in London had. Nic Fancuilli told me he loved my mix but the thing that frustrated him was that he couldn’t work out where half of the records were from.” As the minimal sound began to spread through London and the UK, Ben teamed up with Enzo Siragusa to play ‘a small party in a pub in Clapham’ before eventually becoming a resident at Fuse in 98 Feet East as Enzo’s brand began to grow. With the Fuse brand becoming a phenomenon, Ben decided it was time to focus on learning to produce too, initially working with Justin Drake of Peace Division before heading back to Berlin in the mid-2010s and investing in his own studio space. “Both my parents had passed away at that point and I realised I had all these big dreams and ambitions, but I wasn’t going to fulfil them unless I applied myself.” Inspired by the book The War of Art, Ben began to keep the partying in check and stick to a stricter work regime. “It was slow to start but after a couple of years of turning up to the studio day in, day out, I was getting some traction” says Ben. “I headed back to London to play Fuse and played loads of my own tracks. During the set people were constantly coming up to me to ask what I was playing and it was always my own tracks». Launching label INKAL in 2016 to release his own music (followed by Meta to release music by others), Ben’s releases quickly gained attention, with his vinyl releases quickly selling out and digital releases reaching the upper echelons of the Beatport charts including a No.1 in 2020 , plus earning plaudits from DJs including Seth Troxler and Darius Syrosian. In 2020 he released ‘The Player’, his first release on Hot Since 82’s label Knee Deep in Sound which hit number two on the overall Beatport chart and he follows that up in 2022 with his debut album for Knee Deep in Sound, a groove-laden affair with shades of classic French filter house Breakbeats Deep and Melodic House, as part of their 8-Track series. “Making this album really liberated me, creatively” says Ben. “It was made during the pandemic and not playing clubs allowed me to expand my sound and bring more musicality in and make something that works just as well at home as in the club. There’s so much emotion in these records and I can’t wait for people to connect with it.” POPULAR TRACKS 01 Calling out your name Ben Rau · Calling Out Your Name (I Can’t Sleep) (Oden & Fatzo Remix) 02 DC10 Terrace for Solid Grooves Ben Rau · Ben Rau on the
