Darone Sassounian is on a never-ending search for fresh sounds. Pulling records from his collection and from recent digs, he aspires to share music that moves him and others. Whether you’re on the dancefloor or anywhere else in the world, Darone’s knowledge on music combined with his technical ability approaches a contemporary audience, by clashing the old with the new. Styles ranging from disco, soul, jazz, international obscurities, house, and more. You can find him each month here on dublab.
