House music mainstay Darius Syrossian returns to Montreal-based label Griffintown Records with a real statement of intent in the form of his F*ck Genres EP. English producer Darius Syrossian has always been outspoken about musical styles, preferring instead to stick simply to sign up essential grooves no matter the genre. As a DJ, producer and label head he constantly pushes house forwards in his own way, and that again here shows.

Up first here is ‘Mandisa’, a chunky cut laden with plenty of tumbling toms and wet claps, raw textures and chanting tribal vocals that really get the crowd locked in. ‘Flashdance’ is a loopy filter jam with plenty of feel good synths and joyous vocals that are sure to bring good vibes to any party.

‘If Only’ is a stripped-back groove track with silky house loops and soulful chords next to dubbed-out bass and a pitched up vocal full of emotion. Last of all is Watch Ya Bassbins, a filthy dirty cut with sleazy baselines and throwback rave signifiers making it an intense and brilliant cut.

When asked about the title of the EP — Darius Syrossian responded “The EP was named like that because I pride myself in not sticking myself into one sub genre of music and not playing or making anything else. My style is predominantly Chicago House influenced, and I like to take risks & play a more Balearic style that covers many different genres yet makes it all blend together. You can hear deep house, garage, funk, breakbeat and even some melodic & techno in my sets.”

This is another essential outing coming from Darius Syrossian on Griffintown Records. You can now listen to the full premiere of ‘Mandisa’ exclusively on When We Dip. Enjoy!
