Darq E Freaker Remixes The 1975 Into Some Dark and Freaky Trap-Infused Noise

Hailing from London, producer and DJ, Darq E Freaker, makes music that captures the urban landscape that he calls home. Having produced for artists like Danny Brown, Tempa T, and Wiley, he crafts the type of noise that feels a bit grime, a bit techno, and all around, as his name would suggest, dark and freaky as fuck. Ahead of his NYC set tonight at the Tribeca Grand (as part of the Tryna Function 01 party opener), alongside a few other weirdo-beat pushers like Sick Mobb, Lee Bannon, and Suicideyear, Darq has put his claws on the 1975’s track “Heart Out,” erasing most lineage of the UK indie-rock band’s original while instead channeling the brain-skewing M.O of esteemed midnight marauders like Gessafelstein. Still, he allows a few bits of the group’s feel-good vocal bits to survive, amongst the surrounding tremor.
