Hefty (Darker Sounds, Valhall Records | London, UK)
From a serial killers basement, somewhere in London UK, Hefty has pioneered the darkside for over a decade. Undoubtedly the preeminent master of darker sounds, skillfully preparing you for the impending apocalypse with his unique style. His music is heavily influenced by a wide range of subjects including geo politics, psychology, world affairs, conspiracy theories, the occult and modern history.

It's small wonder Hefty has enjoyed the attention of well respected labels, and most importantly, has earned the loyalty and dedication of fans who have been known to travel for many hours just to hear him play. Famed for his raw, heavy and uncompromising dark sets, this London based DJ has been in international demand over the past years, conquering clubs and festivals (eg. Tresor, Modem Festival, Bucht der Träumer Festival) across Europe and as far as Brazil, Canada and Australia.

After a few years, he was inspired to create his own label: Darker Sounds. Focused solely on showcasing underground dark techno and emerging talent, Darker Sounds has never compromised its dedication to keeping the style and quality of its out put consistently high.
Unafraid to constantly refine and evolve his style, Hefty ventured into the world of psychedelic trance. Carving out his own path, he has used his techno production techniques to create his own style of dark, driving psychedelic trance. He decided to create his own psychedelic label "Erebos Records" which has become a platform for releasing the darkest psy trance from the best undiscovered artists from around the world.

This psychedelic adventure then lead Hefty to start producing his own version of downtempo / chillout music, which he calls Dark Tek Chillout. Produced at 100bpm, this style is dark, heavy and hypnotic, allowing Hefty to truly experiment with the dancefloor and bring awareness to the various dark subjects that inspire his music.

Now armed with a trifecta of genres, Hefty is on track to further cement his reputation as an unstoppable force in the the dark realm.

♫ About Käse Kochen

The sounds of the 'Käse Kochen' sobriquet are an enigmatic & satisfying blend of various sub genres of contemporary progressive dance music. A homogenous amalgam of synthetic & organic sounds - instrumental, digital and found - resulting in something truly profound.
 
Originating from the forest dwelling doof scene of Northern New South Wales, Käse Kochen has ripened into an impressive Australian artist, gracing some of the most sought after slots in the world: Rainbow Serpent Festival’s Market Stage (Australia), Shankra Festival’s Horizon Floor (Switzerland) and Subsonic Music Festival (Australia). His expeditions have led him to feature at Elements, Fractangular Gathering, Tanglewood, Squared Senses and headline outdoor and club events to the corners of Australia and in between: Brisbane to Hobart, Canberra to Perth.
 
Since the release of “Hollow Notions” with Australian label Bassic Records in 2014, Käse Kochen has evolved into his current emittance of sharp melancholic narrative, experimenting with energy, concept and technical prowess. 2017 saw the release of “Fauna”, a release comprised of two originals in collaboration with close comrade Ark-E-Tech and remixed by Gabriel Moraes, Like Liquid, Rainbird and Docosc aka Jekyll, proving to be one of the most highly regarded and best selling releases in Bassic’s catalogue.
 
In October 2018, after much anticipation and years of rigorous studio work, Käse Kochen’s full length album “Encounter In Melancholia” saw the light, celebrated highly and with sold out launch events in Sydney and Melbourne.

Cubex, born in Switzerland, discovered his passion for electronic music at a young age and began DJ'ing at 17. His initial interest in music quickly evolved into a deep passion for Drum&Bass and Techno. Over the years, Cubex honed his skills by performing at various local and national events while simultaneously organizing his own event series and co-founding the Drum & Bass label "Perkussiv Music".

At the age of 30, driven by a desire to take the next step, Cubex made the decision to temporarily step back from promoting and focus on producing music in 2010. His unique style is characterized by daring and creative beat combinations that reflect his musical roots and personal identity. By merging rhythmic and energetic House and Techno beats with hypnotic, psychedelic, and dark atmospheres inspired by Psytrance and Drum&Bass, Cubex has crafted a distinctive sound. He describes his music as "deep and twisted Psy-Techno".

Cubex's impressive discography boasts over 200 tracks, which have been released on more than 30 esteemed labels worldwide, including Zenon Records, AlpaKa Musik, Techgnosis, miniMahlzeit, Copycow, Lethal Dose, and many others. With each release, his international recognition has grown, resulting in an increasing number of bookings for gigs and festivals across the globe.
