Darby Lands On bitbird With Electrifying EP, “CRUSH”
Taking us on an enchanting journey through electrifying house and UK garage, Darby has released his CRUSH EP on San Holo's bitbird imprint.
Thematically, the EP serves as a testament to the personal progress Darby has experienced over the past year. It also marks a significant milestone in the artistic growth of the Melbourne-based producer, who skillfully weaves together complex emotions to create a powerful yet delicate musical narrative.
CRUSH includes previously released gems "Everything,” “Crush” and “Reminisce” alongside juuku, the latter of which makes for one of the EP's most euphoric cuts. As fresh additions to Darby’s discography, “PLAY" showcases his vibrant production style and impressive versatility with its distorted basslines and whimsical samples, while the mesmerizing "Think Bout U" ventures into a rather pensive direction, fueled by nostalgic vocal chops.
