It's a new year and a new dawn, an opportunity to showcase some of the best up and coming talent within music and we here at Ransom Note take such a role very seriously indeed. It is for this reason that we have nominated Darling to deliver our first mix of 2018, a producer and disc jockey from Amsterdam who is steadily gathering momentum, ready to unleash force upon the globe. Last year saw him release an EP on the record label run by Young Marco, Safe Trip. The label has crafted a home for itself amidst the Dutch capital and has released an array of music, both new and old, from producers often operating along a vain similar to that of Marco himself.

We have been told that 2018 holds exciting prospects for Darling as a producer as he will be releasing a new series of 12" EP's across the course of the year. Other than what we have already discussed there is little information as to the identity and background of this mysterious producer and mogul (you may or may not know him) - we'll let the music simply do the talking.
