Role in Gorillaz
Darren Galea remixed the Gorillaz song "Tomorrow Comes Today" into a dub styled song with guest vocals by reggae artist Earl Sixteen, thus creating the track "Tomorrow Dub", which was featured as a B-side track to the single releases of "Tomorrow Comes Today". After that he formed a virtual band Spacemonkeyz with Richie Stevens and Gavin Dodds. Damon Albarn liked Tomorrow Dub so much that he asked Galea to remix the whole album Gorillaz. On the 1st of July, 2002, Spacemonkeyz released the remix album Laika Come Home. There, "Tomorrow Dub" suffered some minor changes and was re-worked and re-named into the track "Bañana Baby". The album's only single Lil' Dub Chefin' reached #73 on the UK Singles Chart.

Darren Galea joined the Gorillaz Live band in 2005 and played turntables. He was a part of the band on all of the live shows between 2005 and 2006.
