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."

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!!!!

DJ Bio 🌍🎧

Born in 1960, I’ve been chasing the pulse of electronic music for decades. My journey began at 15 with the mind-expanding world of psychedelic rock, evolved into the energy of early ’90s house raves, and found its true home in the late ’90s psy-trance movement – a passion that never let go.

From 1997 to 2008, I played and danced across Northern Germany’s underground, from intimate clubs to open-air gatherings, appearing at Free Form, Darklight, Mushroom Magazine events, Café Nuclear, Little Tibet, and beyond.

After a fearless but ill-fated dive into event promotion in 2000, I took a long creative pause – only to return in 2022 with renewed fire. Today, my sets fuse house, techno, deep tech, and indie dance into progressive, hypnotic journeys designed to captivate dance floors without a way back.

Regularly releasing fresh mixes on SoundCloud and curating global sounds for 94,000+ followers via my “Trip_Space_Collector” network, I continue to explore the deep connection between rhythm, emotion, and the collective high of the dance floor.

From the psychedelic roots to the modern club circuit – I’m here for the long run, and the trip is far from over.

DJ for various occasions till the age of 25, I always loved electro music till my life changed and turned to be  more demanding, leading me to stop mixing . However, I stayed attentive to the world of electronic music, and more specifically to the « lounge » and « deep house » style played at the Buddha Bar, which remains for me  a source of inspiration.  
Allowing me to be in  direct contact with thousand of people, the 2018  and 2019 technoparades gave me the opportunity  and motivation to go back to the turntables, while trigerring my return into the electro-music world. I was then able to mix sounds accumulated for years, turning the whole thing into an incredible experience.  I now produce my own pieces of Deep House,  Organic House, Ethno Deep House, Tech House, and Lounge, using tones reminiscent of  the Middle and Far East, Eastern Europe and India.  I am just at the beginning of a new and fascinating adventure. Thank you for listening, repost...likes...

I started DJing in the early 90s and bought my first Technics 1200er when I was 16. At the right time I was playing in a small club called Grooveclub and we could feel the beginning of the house and techno scene in Germany. Many sleepless nights followed. As a visitor, I traveled through the club scene in Germany and visited clubs like Distillery, Muna, Tresor, Aufschwung Ost, Mach 1 and so on. This inspired me to organize my own small parties as an organizer, booker and manager. At the end of the 90s I gave up my most important hobby, a mistake I later found. In 2016 I started DJing again and I'm looking for the opportunity to perform in a club with 100 to 300 people or a good radio show. At the end of 2020 I started producing a few small tracks and am looking for a label that will give me the chance to show what I can. We'll see what comes next and I'm in good spirits. To make a booking request, use my booking button, write me a mail or visit my Facebook profile. So stay tuned to see what's going on here or just listen to my new sets. I like finding other people who love music as much as I do. I'm also looking for gigs, maybe someone knows someone or vice versa. Then please let me know using my contact details in the bio. Otherwise, have fun with my sets here and it would be a great pleasure for me to play for you!
A big hug
