After 20 years of daily grind I recently told the corporate world sayonara so I could start the next chapter in my life, specifically electronic music DJ'ing and production. It is with great pleasure that I present this, my first "published" mix, to the DISTRIKT family. It's a combo of progressive house and techno. I'd also like to thank the DISTRIKT DJ crew and my lovely Pipey for their support, without which none of this would be possible. Enjoy! - Darren

Our DISTRIKT Holidaze party is arguably one of my personal off playa favorites. This year was no exception. With an excellent DJ lineup, awesome decor team to dress up the club and 1000+ of you rockin' the holiday spirit, this was one for the record books. This set was a nice wrap up of 2011 for me, with some new stuff, some old stuff and some new remixes of old stuff. It features some of my favorite producers right now like Guy J, ThreeSixty & Dirty Harris and Christian Smith, along with masters like Underworld, Mark Knight and Funk D'Void. Hope this will take you back to the madness of the Public Works dance floor at 2:30am. Enjoy!

"The opening set of any day at Distrikt is full of variety...converging on the dance floor are hard core party professionals still going strong from the night before. The early risers are already out in force, bloody marys in hand, just waiting for the sound system to breathe fresh life into the playa. And then there are those who use the opening beats as their playa alarm clock; the 50,000 watt 128bmp rooster that demands that it's time to get up, grab a cocktail, and get your ass on the dance floor. So it was with all of these happy diverse party people that I brought a fresh helping of beats blinking and yawning into the sun. It's gonna be a lovely day." - Paul Geddes
