Darius Syrosian’s explosive live set from Defected Croatia is a masterclass in audacious, cross-genre fusion. Syrosian rips through the sun-drenched atmosphere with a series of utterly creative edits, showcasing his signature ability to take the crowd on an unpredictable journey. One moment you’re riding the raw, stripped-back house groove, and the next, he’s splicing in the unexpected energy of a sped-up Ice Cube rap classic. The centerpiece is a high-voltage edit where the smooth, soulful acapella of Tina Moore’s classic ‘Never Let You Go’ is slammed aggressively atop a relentless, tough-as-nails ‘90s NYC Jacking House rhythm. It’s a relentless, boundary-pushing blend of street energy and classic club heat, but be advised: the original recording retains some gloriously NSFW vocals that keep the vibe firmly in the red. Just don’t play it in front of the boss or family members!
