Do Not Sleep
from UK hero,
Darius Syrossian
. Darius Syrossian has risen up the ranks of the house/techno scene since first emerging on the global stage in the '90s. Best known for his pumping house and techno stylings, Syrossian displays a full gamut of musical ethos across this engrossing two-part mix. Both halves are created using his no-frills setup of three CDJs, two Technics 1210s and a Pioneer mixer. Disc 1 is a live club recording showcasing his spontaneity in his natural environment. Disc 2 is a carefully constructed and prepared studio mix. Disc 1 was recorded live at The Bow in Buenos Aires, and is a master class in slow-building energy. Kicking off with jazzy cuts from
Demarkus Lewis
and
Tim Deluxe
, Syrossian's own "Andranik" picks things up with subtle tribal energy before the nagging synths of
Dennis Ferrer
's "The Red Room". Grooving ensues via
Apollonia
and
DJ T
, trippy undertones amassing as
Burnski
's rolling "Changes" pushes towards an departure from
Laurent Garnier
's 303 classic "Crispy Bacon". Syrossian's "What You Say" continues with wonky pitch-bent synths, before the funk-fueled rhythms from
Ian Pooley
and
Matt Tolfrey & Heartthrob
. "Pacific State" and
Deetron
's thumping "Photon" deliver an anthemic crescendo. Disc 2 delves into headier material with moodier, more atmospheric undertones.
Francesco Tristano
's piano mastery kicks things off, with
Smokin' Jo
and
Two Armadillos
getting the rhythm rolling before Syrossian delivers a triple-helping of new productions. The squelching synths and tense strings of "Give It To Me" recall classic acid, while the intricate percolations of "Unicorn Zone" recall vintage tech house and minimal funk. Layers of techno pressure build in the mix's machinistic mid-section, with
Sleeper Thief
pulling things back into a more stripped-back place. There are moody vocals from
Kacob Korn & Break SL
's "You And Me" featuring
Tabitha Xaiver
, and mystical tribal drama from
Silicone Soul
, leading into a
Larry Heard
classic. Syrossian enlists the help of
Bwana
and
KiNK
to reach the mix's climax. This is the sound of Darius Syrossian at his purest: a mean, lean DJ with an impressive arsenal of his own productions, flawless mixing and the experience needed to seamlessly weave together the DNA of house and techno music past, present and future. Also features:
Bas Ibellini

Mar-T & Luca Donzelli
,

,
Barber & Finn
,
Marc Faenger
