Darby’s ‘PARTY’ EP bursts onto the scene, delivering a vibrant exploration of the clash between club euphoria and late-night introspection. The Australian producer, who has garnered attention from industry heavyweights like Skrillex and has remixed tracks for ODESZA, ensures that his latest NIGHTMODE release is more than just a dance floor filler.
The EP features standout tracks such as “TRUST” with Britt Lari and the collaboration “PARTY” with OOTORO, designed to ignite festival stages. Yet, beneath the pulsating UK garage beats and booming bass house, Darby captures the essence of those pivotal 3 AM moments filled with self-reflection and questioning. “FLOW” and “AUTOPILOT” featuring ÊMIA invite listeners into a deeper narrative, exploring the emotional layers that accompany nights out.
At just 24, Darby has already established himself with releases on labels like Ninja Tune, Monstercat, and Bitbird, but ‘PARTY’ represents a significant evolution. While many of his peers opt for predictable festival tracks, Darby channels Y2K nostalgia and club dynamics into a unique auditory experience. This EP transcends typical releases – it’s akin to your therapist spinning UK garage, where dancing is the only therapy needed.
