Dargz

Hip-hop, jazz, soul and funk merge into tracks that are as raw as they are layered. Self-assured, thoughtful and with a groove that sticks.

As a producer, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist, DARGZ effortlessly navigates between styles. His voice is soulful but sharp, his production groovy but unpredictable. No standard structures, no safe choices – but music that touches, grates, moves. The DIY mentality of New York is in his DNA, the musical freedom of London can be heard in everything he does.

In London he found his place among leading names such as Moses Boyd and Charley Stacey (Yussef Dayes Trio). Not as an extra, but as a full-fledged player. DARGZ is not a hype, not a side project – he is building something of his own. His live sets are raw and direct, but also musically razor-sharp. Think: a band that feels like a machine, with room for spontaneity. Beats that crawl into your body, bass lines that stick, hooks that suddenly take an unexpected turn.

On stage he previously stood next to Vampire Weekend, Haim and Interpol. Large venues, full tours, but it is precisely the more intimate shows where he really lets loose. No distance, no facade. Just a musician who gives everything and takes the audience into his world.

Don't expect a show that stays neatly within the lines. Expect idiosyncrasy, dynamics, character. For the listener who looks beyond genres, and feels when it is real.
