House music mainstay Darius Syrossian returns to Griffintown Records with a real statement of intent in the
form of his F*ck Genres EP Vol 1 & Vo 2 . Syrossian has always been outspoken about musical styles, preferring instead to
stick simply to sign up essential grooves no matter the genre. As a DJ, producer and label head he constantly
pushes house forwards in his own way, and that again here shows.

Up first here is Mandisa, a chunky cut laden with plenty of tumbling toms and wet claps, raw textures and
chanting tribal vocals that really get the crowd locked in. Flashdance is a loopy filter jam with plenty of feel good
synths and joyous vocals that are sure to bring good vibes to any party.
If Only is a stripped back groove track with silky house loops and soulful chords next to dubbed out bass and a
pitched up vocal full of emotion. Last of all is Watch Ya Bassbins, a filthy dirty cut with sleazy baselines and
throwback rave signifiers making it an intense and brilliant cut.
When asked about the title of the EP -- Darius responded "The EP was named that because I pride myself in
not sticking myself into one sub genre of music and not playing or making anything else. My style is
predominantly Chicago House influenced, and I like to take risks & play a more Balearic style that covers many
different genres yet makes it all blend together. You can hear deep house, garage, funk, breakbeat and even
some melodic & techno in my sets."
This is another essential outing from Syrossian.
