Charlie Darker

Bookings: Cory Riskin | APA criskin@apanewyork.com Promos: chuckdarker@gmail.com The rise of Charlie Darker has been anything but ordinary. Tapped by some of the biggest names in dance music before he was even old enough to have a drink, the Canadian­-born phenom has been producing some of the most forward­thinking and hardest-­hitting Electro of the last few years. Strongly influenced by the first wave of the mid-­late 2000s, it was acts like Justice, The Bloody Beetroots, MSTRKRFT, SebastiAn and more who ignited a desire to bring pure raw energy to the dance floor. With mentors like Wolfgang Gartner and MSTRKRFT, he quickly crafted a one­-of-­a-­kind approach driven by cutting-­edge sound design leading to releases on Dim Mak, Kindergarten Records, Mad Decent and more. In 2013, at just 21 years-­old, Charlie Darker was invited by Tommy Trash and “Uncle Wolf”, as he calls his esteemed advisor, on their national Hounds of Hell tour playing to massive crowds at some of the most iconic venues in North America including Webster Hall, the Hollywood Palladium and Washington DC’s Echostage. Moving forward to 2015, Charlie Darker has racked up impressive support from some of the top names in dance music including Tiesto, Zedd, Steve Aoki, Hardwell, David Guetta, Chuckie, Porter Robinson, Zeds Dead and countless others. He’s remixed the likes of Diplo, Wolfgang Gartner, Zedd, Felix Cartal & Autoérotique to great acclaim. The past few months have seen him invited by Zedd to remix the mega hit“Beautiful Now” and release an explosive anthem called “D2B” on Dim Mak. With an ambitious EP ready to unleash on Big Beat later this year, there’s no telling what the future holds for this rising star.
