BEATPORT: www.beatport.com/release/disco-lights/4044729

Shadowfigure - Disco Lights (Original Mix) [STRUCTURED RHYTHMS] - 126bpm - Am

The first single from Shadowfigure, Disco Lights, is a gritty and groovy percussion-driven sequence featuring Shadowfigure’s signature style of a techno foundation, progressive layering, and melodic seasoning with catchy stabs and vocals. Inspired by the flashing lights of the afterhours dancefloor, Disco Lights was handcrafted to fit into Shadowfigure’s regular afterhours sets. With a heavy kick tuned to a simple bass line, the sharp drum hits, claps, and percussion are programmed to get the dance floor’s attention while layering in rich textures and sexy vocals for an energetic flow. Staying true to the bass-heavy underground vibe he is known for, the vocals, percs, and synth hits take center stage at the break, leading to a satisfying release designed to whip dancers into a frenzy. With the DJ in mind, Shadowfigure’s extended cut fits easily into early, peak, and late morning sets while still holding up on its own and keeping listeners engaged from start to finish.

The guest mix in the second hour is by Adjust (BE) is a DJ / Producer from Antwerp in Belgium. He started by making melodic techno after taking a MUSICASA production course in 2018. After a number of releases on SMR Underground, TGMS & Papaya he felt the melodic music genre wasn’t the best reflection of what he wanted to do so, in 2022, he began to DJ and produce hypnotic techno. He has his own podcast series, ‘Adjust (BE) Invites’ which has now reached over 100 episodes and 10k+ plays each month.

What and who is A Darker Wave?
We are a duo (jacki-e & p-mac) who present A Darker Wave every week only on NLive Radio, Circl8 Radio, Echo Radio & Chill Lover Radio. We put the show together in our home studio. The show is streamed worldwide on the internet. Each show is posted on our Soundcloud, Mixcloud, Hearthis.at, Podbean and You Tube pages once it has been streamed and presents the best in new techno releases.
We also play gigs as A Darker Wave and we have played at events in Germany and all over the UK.
The music we play is techno, tech house, deep house and anything else we like enough to include in the show.
Each show is 2 hours long. In the first hour we go into the mix with our featured EP of the week and the best of the new releases.
In the second hour we invite new and upcoming DJs to come onto the show and do a guest mix.

Why are you called A Darker Wave?
Dark Wave was first used in the 1980s to describe a dark and melancholy variant of new wave and post-punk music and was first applied to UK musicians such as Bauhaus, Joy Division, Sisters of Mercy, Cocteau Twins, The Cure, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Depeche Mode and Anne Clark. It was also used to describe artists who combined music with performance art, such as Throbbing Gristle and Cabaret Voltaire, who challenged and explored the darker and obsessive sides of the human condition.

A lot of techno takes its spirit and ethos from this music, Listen to Throbbing Gristle or Cabaret Voltaire and you can hear the industrial sounds which are a staple of techno music today.

Techno is the outsider of electronic dance music, the punk of today's modern music scene. As Dave Clarke said in an interview with Mixmag, " Techno is edgy. Techno will challenge you......it's the real dark art."
https://mixmag.net/feature/the-road-to-tomorrow-dave-clarke

Our radio show, in presenting the best in underground techno and deep house music, and in giving an opportunity for new, up and coming DJ's and producers, is providing an outlet for new techno, which is best described as being the new wave of modern dance music.

Not just a new wave, but with it's incessant bass rumblings, synthesiser drones, pounding drums, melodic top notes and eerie, distorted vocal samples, techno, in all its forms, is a backdrop to and a critique of our post-industrial, consumerist society, one in which our actions are observed 24/7, our democratic freedoms are threatened by our very own governments and our rights to do, think and act as we please are under ever increasing scrutiny. Techno really is A Darker Wave.

When we were listening to music in the 60’s and 70’s, before the electronic tentacles of technology infiltrated the world, we often thought, whilst listening to the likes of Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, King Crimson, Frank Zappa, Hawkwind, Captain Beefhart, New York Dolls and Roxy Music, where would music go to in the future? It could never be what was being portrayed in the science fiction movies of the time. Now we know. It can be anything. When we have a recording studio in our own home which is more powerful and versatile than anything available back then, we now know music can be anything and go anywhere. It is only the spark of our imaginations, or lack of it, that holds us back. On our laptop computers we have the capabilities that many artists back then would have given their right arms for. It’s for the uniqueness of the artist to express themselves to be able to stand out from the deluge of music available. Finding those gems is the modern day equivalent of crate digging and when you do, it makes it all worthwhile. Long live music!!!!
