Daraspa is a producer from the Netherlands (Amsterdam). His first EP “Art of illusion “ was released at the end of 2013 on the well known Belgian Label Sound Avenue. The EP immediately received support from Digweed, Cattaneo, Chris Fortier, Darin Epsilon, Navar and Dimitri Kneppers to name a few. His track “Sashke” entered the # 2 position in the highly acclaimed “Beatport must hear progressive tracks” of the week. One month after that his second EP “Vaca Guitarra” was released on Gentlemen Lounge Records.

Daraspa’s compositions are full off crisp beats, cool hypnotic rhythms and wavering synths. They are often combined with sentimental themes and alien like vocal chords. All the elements delicately meld together for a hazy blur of electronic energy. These soulful and warm elements combined with alluring atmospheres and vibrant electronics - without a doubt, heighten the senses nicely.

His sets can be described as sentimental, deep and soulful. This style is often experienced as very intimate. His musical journey captures the emotions amongst his listeners which leads to those very special and lasting moments that are long remembered. The roots of this musical style was developed in the nineties when electronic music became his passion while going to famous clubs in Amsterdam like the Roxy. After listening to the vibes of the electronic music scene he bought some turntables himself and started to get official bookings in local clubs in Amsterdam (Panama, Escape to name a few). His soulful and warm sound soon got picked up abroad and soon led to a residency on the famous elements parties that were held in Mexico City.

2014 marks the start of daraspa's own radioshow on Frisky radio. The show is broadcasted every second Monday of the month and is called “Halcyon”.
