A selection of techno and hardgroove from Daria Kolosova, recorded for Lot Radio with our Mix of the Week
Daria Kolosova’s 14 years of experience as a DJ, combined with her deep passion for electronic music, have shaped her into a remarkably versatile and proficient artist. Daria was born in the small town of Lutugino in eastern Ukraine. Her love for music was instilled by her father, and her devotion to electronic music began at the age of 9 when she first heard “Diesel Power” by The Prodigy.
Her passion for music deepened when her mother sent her to music school, where she studied piano. Yet being drawn to DJing from an early age, Daria embraced her vocation, which led to her first performance in February 2010. Following this debut, she continued to actively perform in clubs across Lugansk and other cities while also organising her own parties. After being inspired by the Kyiv electronic scene and absorbing the vastness of electronic music genres, Daria honed her taste and returned to Kyiv. There, she became a resident DJ at Keller, performing under the alias Dar:k and co-launched the party series Materia UA.
After actively being involved in the electronic music scene for some time, Daria started to use her own name, leaving her Dar:k moniker aside as an experimental project. She began headlining most of Kyiv’s underground nightclubs like K41, Closer, Otel and began expanding her reach internationally, performing outside of Ukraine and securing her place on the global stage, with bookings at high-profile events and venues across Europe and beyond. Currently, Daria is one of the most actively growing names in the techno scene. She has played at some of the world’s most renowned institutions, with frequent bookings at Berghain, Bassiani, Fabric, London’s Fold and festivals like Tomorrowland, Junction 2, Awakenings, Time Warp and played at Amnesia, Hi and DC10 in her first Ibiza season.
