A detour from the ambient music made under his own name, Dokun is the Techno project of Darren McClure. Darren is currently based in Japan and the name Dokun is a Japanese word used to describe the sound of a heartbeat. Although this project is primarily focused on beats and grooves, it is also informed by the attention to sound design that occurs in his more abstract, ambient work.

Darren has previously released music on a number of labels, specializing in experimental, ambient and field recording-based sounds. With his debut as Dokun, the four tracks that comprise Time Out explore a wide range of textures. Title track ‘Time Out’ begins the EP on a deep, minimal note before the energetic ‘Juxta’ moves things on towards the dance floor. Third track ‘Iris’ returns to minimal territory before ‘Tanom’ draws the EP to a close with twisted wobbling Techno.
