Track Of The Day: Darren Harris - Orion Nebula (Ferox)


The opening track on ‘Adventures In Techno Soul 3’, this stupendous piece of dawn-of-time techno from the not often enough spotted Darren Harris really is something. I have to say it falls into the category of “tracks you’d forgotten you had until you randomly rediscovered them”. I originally wanted to post one of the tracks from his excellent ‘Tears’ release on Ferox from 2018, but couldn’t find it on Youtube. So here we are. All three of the ‘Adventures In Techno Soul’ comps are amazing, and this track is typical of the high standard of artistry within. Techno from another world or inspired by what was largely being produced in the early to mid 90s in The UK. This is a great record, full of emotion and power, but also having great subtlety. Mr Harris, where are you? More of this type of thing please.
