Wild Dark

Wild Dark is the sonic venture of NYC’s Negrin brothers, Corey and Ryan, who have spent over two decades weaving tales on the dancefloor. With a knack for turning electronic music into a narrative experience, they’ve made a name by blending a vast array of sounds into something fresh and memorable.

As of March 2023, the plot thickens: Corey has taken the reins as a solo act, bringing his seasoned chops to stages worldwide. Think of it as Wild Dark 2.0—same name, a brand new adventure.

Before their pivot to production, Wild Dark cut their teeth DJing at the best clubs – from NYC to the far reaches of the globe, a foundation that’s served them well in the studio. Their music has graced the catalogs of top labels like Anjunadeep, Supernature, Flying Circus, Do Not Sit On The Furniture, Truecolors, The Gardens of Babylon, Underyourskin, Akbal, Nazca and numerous others. And yes, the industry heavyweights have noticed—Sasha, Damian Lazarus, Bedouin, Black Coffee, John Digweed, Audiofly, Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren, Township Rebellion, Guy Gerber, Joris Voorn, Los Suruba, and countless others have all given their nods of approval.

Wild Dark also frequently teams up with Ariaan Olieroock under the Ariaano or 16BL moniker, making waves on labels like Flying Circus and IAMHER Records with releases such as their standout remix of Husa & Zeyada’s “Inside Out”, and original hit “Always” on Anjunadeep.

Their productions are engineered for the dance floor—hypnotic grooves, tight drum programming, the kind of stuff that makes standing still impossible. This formula has powered them through renowned events like Brooklyn Mirage’s Cityfox, Teksupport, Set Underground, The Gardens of Babylon Festival, Do Not Sit on the Furniture, Art With Me Festival, and the stunning SXM Festival in St. Martin.

From commanding the decks at Burning Man’s legendary Robot Heart bus to bringing their hypnotic magic to Brooklyn’s infamous City of Gods bacchanal, Wild Dark has proven they’re more than just a duo—they’re a movement. With Corey now driving solo, the story continues, and it’s only getting more interesting – but it doesn’t stop there. Wild Dark’s 2024/2025 release schedule is looking heavy, with each new project continuing to push boundaries, further cementing Wild Dark’s place in the electronic music landscape, inspiring both fans and fellow artists alike.
