Out on NIGHTMODE, Darby’s ‘Party‘ EP captures the highs, lows, and intimate depths of the club experience. Known for his infectious beats and innovative artistry, the rising Australian producer has crafted a project that’s equal parts high-energy release and raw introspection. This EP is an evocative journey through the ebb and flow of a night out, where the pulse of the dance floor meets the quiet corners of self-reflection.
From the moment Party begins, listeners are drawn into Darby’s world. Featuring tracks like “TRUST” (with Britt Lari), “PARTY” (a collaboration with OOTORO), “FLOW”, and the contemplative closer “AUTOPILOT” (with ÊMIA), the EP is structured like a night itself, evolving from the thrill of connection and rhythm into deeper, more personal realms. As the beats unfold, Darby seamlessly layers bass, house, UKG, and electro influences to build a sonic atmosphere as complex as the emotions it explores.
In Darby’s words: “The EP a psychoanalysis of the club context, a lot of club music is fairly surface level but I wanted to go deeper and study the characters, the emotions and the energy that’s generated in that space. Imagine a night out that starts off as spontaneous distraction from the real world but ends in a blur that leaves you contemplating your life decisions.”
With support from heavyweights like Skrillex and Disclosure and a discography of official remixes and collaborations, Darby has fast become one of the most intriguing voices in electronic music. His distinctive ability to marry dynamic beats with introspective themes shines throughout Party, which brings festival-level energy while offering listeners something profoundly real and relatable.
