Darien is a name known and respected throughout the WorldWide House Music Community. As one of the people credited with being a pioneer and originator of the "Party Scene", Darien has been responsible for a lot of the things that club goers now simply just take for granted. Darien is famous for throwing some of the biggest events back in the heyday of the burgeoning "Party Scene".

He did all of this while holding down residencies at world renowned clubs such as Velvet, The Masquerade, and The Chamber.

Darien is also the main force behind Satellite Records choosing Atlanta as the city to open up its second ever storefront in. Now, living in Los Angeles since 2000, Darien still keeps it moving in the Southwest USA's House Music scene.

He has held down residencies at some of L.A.'s most legendary clubs, from Garden Of Eden, to his current residencys.

On top of almost non-stop dj gigs, Darien is also an accomplished producer, and this is where his true passion lies.
