Read MoreDarren Lawson Vs Jack Panther
I'm a massive geek for a terrifically sung, exquisitely recorded vocal, so I was pretty taken aback when I got sent the desk mix of Jack Panther's new single THEO and knew that Darren Lawson needed to get his hands/ears on it.
Read MoreDarren Lawson Vs Sarah Johnsone
Sarah Johnson undoubtedly has a promising future ahead of her. The hotly tipped Newcastle based singer songwriter has an overwhelmingly distinctive and rich vocal and couples it with a thick layer of indie swagger.
Read MoreDarren Lawson Vs Girl Scout
Girl Scout are properly ace; Scandinavian indie music built for the 2020s - proper choruses, crystalline vocals and those little melodic flourishes that the Swedes do so very, very well. I still listen to Be A Girl by the Wannadies on the regs, and this scratches a very similar itch.

More off-kilter indie weirdness from the boys in Wooze. Their new EP, out now on Young Poet Records contains not only some tremendous puns, but also four incredible tracks with mix, engineering and additional production from Darren Lawson.

Flossie is a social media sensation, doing numbers on TikTok that we wouldn’t even try to count.

Wooze are ace, but you knew that already. Darren Lawson has mixed their brand new single, Take Me To A Nunnery, out right now via our friends at Young Poet Records. It’s as bonkers as you might expect.

Read MoreDarren Lawson Vs Voodoo Bandits
Voodoo Bandits are ace, and now they’re back with a brand new slice of surf-punk. The track’s called Chandler and there’s a picture of a gorilla on rollerblades grinding down a handrail on the front cover. Whether the gorilla is called Chandler is a mystery.
What’s not a mystery is that the track was mixed by Darren Lawson and sounds tremendous. Go take a listen now.
Read MoreDarren Lawson Vs Pixey
Life In Stereo is the new single from the enormously talented Pixey, out RIGHT NOW via our friends at Chess Club Records.

The single precedes Pixey’s upcoming EP, Sunshine State, coming October this year.

Read MoreDarren Lawson Vs Voodoo Bandits
Voodoo Bandits have the potential to be your new favourite band. Their tunes are dead catchy, smartly written and fun as fuck. They’re also from the Isle of Man, which is a place I know barely anything about, except that they’ve done a good job of containing coronavirus, and the cats there don’t have tails, which is quite interesting, when you think about it.
Read MoreDarren Lawson vs WOOZE
It’s been a hot minute since we’ve had new music from British/Korean duo WOOZE. Their last EP, What’s On your Mind?, mixed by Darren Lawson, was a big record for us back in 2019, and we were delighted to get the call for Daz to mix their new single.
