“From a production point of view this is what I have always wanted to do but never had the skills until now,” he says.  

“It reminds me of what I loved about songs from George Michael’s ‘Faith’ and some of my favourite Prince records from the late ‘80s. It’s all about the groove.”

Darren adds: “I spent ages trying to tune a Linn drum machine to sound like those snare drums.  

“In doing so I went down this amazing rabbit hole of vintage synth sounds – understanding what it is I loved about 80’s tech like the Synclavier and the Fairlight.  

“I let my voice wander and stretch – and I had so much fun with trippy keyboards and big fat square bass patches.”

Darren released his most recent LP, his fourth UK Top 40 effort ‘Secret Codes and Battleships’, in 2011. 

He went on to release a number of standalone tracks and collaborations, including 2019’s I Never Cried So Much in My Whole Life with Cub Sport. 

As one half of Savage Garden, Darren scored chart hits in the late 1990s with tracks such as To the Moon and Back and Truly Madly Deeply. 

Following the duo’s split in 2001, he released his debut solo single Insatiable and accompanying album ‘Spin’, both of which peaked in the UK Top 10.
