With a profound love and passion for deep house sounds, and due to an increasing stream of high calibre deep house demos simply landing on his doorstep, Alexander Fog established a sister label for TMR in 2011: Darkstar. Whereas TMR carries uplifting tech and tech house tunes, Darkstar is an outlet - as the name of the label indicates - for the darker side of techno and moody deep house where quality prevails over quantity; a characteristic trade mark which Alexander Fog is synonym for and grew accustomed to.   

The newly established Darkstar lab rapidly resulted in developing upcoming talents such as Gabryel Casse, Lenny Soprano, Groovesend and Rob Small amongst others, who constantly deliver Darkstar prime cuts next to the occasional Alexander Fog tune. 

In October 2011, the two labels joined in one steaming hot showcase during the Amsterdam Dance Event where both TMR and Darkstar presented Alexander’s musical vision to both clubbers as well as the international music industry, in association with 7 Stars Music.
