Let’s give you some context. Three years ago D’Arcy released her debut album, The Art of Flying. Fans went crazy and the press loved it.

The resulting combination of music and atmosphere is spellbinding shows that are both emotional and powerful. D’Arcy is also well known for her electrifying DJ skills in techno and house music, filling dance floor venues such as the Good Room, Le Bain, Public, and many more with her music. Now she’s released her new single/video titled ‘hold still’, where she explores themes of grief and the chaotic nature of life.
“’hold still’ both means I will always hold you and I will keep you still in the face of whatever chaos and grief may come. You can note somewhere that the first video was made by me of my partner, and the second video was made by my partner Leah Wasilewski, of me.”
