Review

Darius' *OASIS* is a sonic sanctuary, where the warmth of synthesizers and the comfort of silky basslines envelop you in a soothing blanket of electronic soul. Tracks like *"EQUILIBRIUM"* and *"MATERIAL GIRL"* showcase Darius' natural ability to blend rhythm with introspection, creating a sense of equilibrium. Meanwhile, *"WINTER SADNESS"* and *"FADED"* reveal the artist's more melancholic side, inviting listeners to confront their emotions. As Darius skillfully navigates these different moods, his collaborative approach stands out, particularly in songs like *"RISE"* with Benny Sings and *"FEELS RIGHT"* featuring Duñe, which effectively combine vocal warmth with rhythmic depth.

Throughout *OASIS*, Darius effortlessly weaves together both his dreamy atmosphere and melodic refinement, crafting a cohesive work perfect for late-night drives or lazy afternoons. When I reflect on this album, I'm reminded of the Japanese concept of Wa, which values harmony and balance in relationships. *OASIS* embodies this spirit, balancing darkness and light, chillwave familiarities with fresh impulses. It's a testament to the power of music to blend and soothe. Amidst the chaos of life, *OASIS* offers a tranquil escape where emotions flow freely, much like a Japanese garden, where nature and humanity coexist in serenity. - Hiro
