At the helm of REEF, Canada-born Berlin-based DJ and label-owner Darwin has been responsible for bringing the bleeding edge of UK soundsystem music to techno’s capital city.

Darwin founded REEF in 2014: a series of 24-hour raves that connects the dots between low-end-focused genres and breakbeat-centric styles. Hosted at the sadly now defunct Griessmuehle, REEF found a new home at the world’s most infamous club, Berghain, where Darwin hosts a full takeover of the club 3 times a year. She also channels her avidity for UK-centric sounds into her label SPE:C, which focuses on up-and-coming acts from around the globe.
