Summary: Currently based in Cleveland, darw_n now takes on a selective, quiet role in the tech scene; focusing on intimate settings; events that guarantee a vibe that is simple and pure. But his past, aside from all the gigs and residencies, does have some worth in mentioning. With a childhood background steeped heavily in his family's evolvement in modern art and theory, being obsessed with the un-natural sounds of late 80's electronic music, all while enthralled with the theater and drama of alternative and punk, darw_n started his slow steady march through DJ'ing from the very beginnings of this stuff called "rave" or "EDM", or whatever it is you have these days. Starting first in the very start of the 90's with the gabber and hardcore. Then playing with the more intricate sound of early acid trance. And then, briefly yet very significantly, physically moving to the east coast and jumping face first into the important sounds of a very specific time and place; 1995, Baltimore. This move to the east was just long enough to get darw_n experimenting with the trippy, funky, groove sounds of the scene of '95, and he hit (..or rather, more like blindly started to play without realizing it.) the sound, that to this day, is quintessentially 'darw_n'. Through out the late 90's and 00's, during his busiest point of his career, he focused his sound almost entirely on pure rhythm and stark minimalism. Developing the concept of 'tone-shifting' during the hey-day of swedish techno, darw_n saw the importance of layered repetition and subtle changes, and how the dance floor may show several different emotions all at once, but to the same music - the audience is just as much the artist as darw_n when he performs. WIth a mixing approach of heavily layered, twisted, tribally, tech house grooved vibe, his over-all sound is distinctive, poignant, dark, yet liberated in some strange sense. To hear him play, in his philosophy, is to be able to hear yourself.
