Darren has been on the dance scene for over 13 years despite, having started DJ-ing in the world of underground Hardcore at just 16. He started producing and writing tracks with Paul Force in 1993…rapidly becoming two of the biggest names on a new scene which was just beginning. Over the next few years they continued writing and producing together and were responsible for a host of Hardcore classics – they were the first hardcore DJ’s to produce a Mix for Pete Tong’s Essential Mix on Radio One. They gained awards as best producers, best DJ’s and best tracks in numerous Hardcore Awards.
Encouraged from an early age by his father, an avid blues fan, Darren had always possessed a passionate craving for music. Many late nights were spent enthusiastically mastering his natural ability on the keyboard, engineering it into an undisputed skill whilst developing his own style, ever inspired by Dance music.
Armed with this passion and well-earned musical talent, this 16 year old with serious ambition was to become one of the biggest ever names in the Hardcore arena, which he did with his releases “Back to the old school” and “Feeling Me”. Now Darren makes seriously uplifting hard trance with his single “Black Magic” and has made remixes for labels like Honey Pot and Nukleuz Records with his biggest hit being his stellar remix of “Silence” which was canned by the likes of Paul van Dyk.

Slide Away
Darren Styles Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Of how it's meant to be
Give me a reason
'Cause I don't wanna leave
And I wonder
As I look into your eyes
And I wonder
Slide away...
You make me slide away
No one makes me feel quite like you (quite like you)
You got me smiling today
Only when you do the things you do
Slide away...
Tell me a story
Of how it's meant to be
Give me a reason
'Cause I don't wanna leave
And I wonder
As I look into your eyes
And I wonder
If I need a reason why
Slide away...
You make me slide away
No one makes me feel quite like you (quite like you)
You got me smiling today
Only when you do the things you do
Slide away...
The lyrics in Darren Styles's song Slide Away seem to be a plea for someone to explain to the singer what love should be like. He asks for a story that might help him understand how it's "meant to be," perhaps longing for guidance on how to navigate his own romantic relationship. He also asks for a "reason" not to leave, indicating some possible uncertainty or instability in the relationship. However, the overall tone of the song is one of joy and contentment, especially towards the person he is singing to. The catchy chorus reinforces this feeling as he sings about how the person makes him "slide away" and that they make him feel more than anyone else does.
Overall, the song seems to be a simple, yet a heartfelt ode to love and finding someone who truly makes you happy. The singer seems to be asking for direction, but ultimately it's clear that he is happy and content with the person he is with.
