Darwin Chamber X DJ Spun - Darwin Chamber X DJ Spun (Rong Music)

In a bold meeting of minds, Darwin Chamber and DJ Spun join forces for a four-track EP that pushes the boundaries of techno music. This self-titled release on Rong Music showcases the duo's combined decades of experience, resulting in a sonic journey that's nostalgic yet forward-thinking.

The EP kicks off with "Find The Missing Letter," a deep techno cut that weaves dub-inspired elements with hypnotic synth chimes. It's a crafty builder that sets the tone for what's to come. "Digits" follows, living up to its name with a relentless beat that evokes images of robotic revelry. This dark, driving track shows the producers' ability to create tension and release on the dancefloor.

"Do It All Night" emerges as the EP's sultry centerpiece; its pulsating rhythm and seductive groove are designed to keep bodies popping until dawn. The release closes with "Ants," a mid-tempo curiosity that crawls under your skin with its analog warmth and acidic undertones.

Darwin Chamber, aka Mark Greenfield, brings his extensive background in sound engineering and early contributions to breakbeat and trip-hop to the table. DJ Spun, the alias of Jason Drummond, infuses the project with his deep understanding of New York's club culture. Together, they've created a release that'll resonate across the DJ-sphere and club-land.

Darwin Chamber - Love's The Meditation EP (Rong Music)

After an extended disco nap, your friends at Rong Music have awoken from their slumber just in time to celebrate the 20th year of doing that Rong thing. How to celebrate? The only way they know how: put out a bunch of new music, unearth some weirdo classics, and DANCE.

This first new release of the anniversary party spotlights some bangers for the club, rave, ride, warehouse, the playa, or home disco. It features Darwin Chamber, the alter ego of Mark Greenfield. This legend of the early Rave scene has been making tracks for more than 30 years. Pioneering the West Coast Rave breakbeat and trip-hop sound, he got his start just like many, learning his craft on a cheap keyboard at a friend’s house and then taking his music to the streets. He’s done 100’s of shows from underground raves to The House of Blues, released music on Moonshine and Sony, and was one of the first dance acts to embrace the digital revolution.

The title track, "Love’s the Meditation," is a classy piece of melodic acid funk (?@$!wtf whatever that means), with an epic extended mix by Rong's fearless leader, DJ Spun. And there's a DJ Spun instrumental rub of Darwin Chamber's "Sugar, Sex, Magic" which one can easily imagine being embraced by the cool crop of newer techno DJs. The EP closes out with two potent Darwin Chamber originals, "Do You Feel the Love" and "303 and Me." Both have a classic acid HOUSE vibe that is the type of thing to elicit squeals of joy from the Rong camp. Enjoy!

Jon Fugler (Fluke) – “Loving this. Reach for the lasers!”
DJ H4L 9000 (Volumens Festival) – “Incredible EP! Killer & fresh tracks.”
Alien Tom (native Alien) – “Darwin Chamber. Um, yeah!”
Rory Hoy (Howlin’ Records) – “Do You Feel The Love is a banger!”
Jon Freer (Freer Sounds) – “It’s always paty time with Rong!”
Simon Kirk (Stag Beetle Radio Show) – “Fantastic breaks throughout. DJ Spun’s mix of Love is the Meditation takes the honours for me.”
