Darren Styles

Real Name:
Darren James Mew
Profile:
Encouraged from an early age by his father, an avid blues fan, Darren had always possessed a passionate craving for music. Many late nights were spent enthusiastically mastering his natural ability on the keyboard, engineering it into an undisputed skill whilst developing his own style, ever inspired by dance music.

Armed with this passion and well-earned musical talent, this 16 year old with serious ambition was to become one of the biggest ever names in the Hardcore arena, which he did with his releases “Back to the old school” and “Feeling Me”. Now Darren makes seriously uplifting hard trance with his single “Black Magic” and has made remixes for labels like Honey Pot and Nukleuz Records with his biggest hit being his stellar remix of “Silence” which was cained by the likes of Paul van Dyk.
