Wunderk1nd is growing up in a small village in germany and started in his early youth interrested for futuristic, especially electronic music.
He made his first steps while discovering the german trance and rave style in the mid 90s.
At the end of the 90s he was more and more charmed by the uk style of the progressive house genius like from the heroes of this scene Sasha, John Digweed, Nick Warren, Dave Seaman etc.
But as his most music influence he would describe the electronic madness of James Holdens early works, especially in the start of 2000s.
Since then he is permanent searching for new music aspects and put this together with a huge amount of different sets on soundcloud since 2008.
In consequence about the start of the pandemic, in april 2020 he also started focus on live audio streaming on twitch mostly on fridays.
He brings long epic sets there with different concepts. Of course his mainly electronic style discovering many time decades, artist tributes or specific sets from music styles of a wider spectrum.

Back in 2003, a demo of the sledgehammer number that is  ‘Break My World’ caught the ear of Island Records’ top dog who, on the strength of those unmistakable strings, signed them to the major league. A balmy headline slot on Pete Tong’s live-from-Miami WMC show in early 2004, simultaneous top-spot hoggings of the Cool Cuts and Buzz Charts and hot Ibizan nights followed. 

However, big isn’t always better, and the boys were soon to discover that teeny-bopper pop-rockers held more sway at the label than their underground sound. An amicable split followed in the summer of 2005, along with a determination to keep things simple next time around. 

There’s no stopping the Globe’s flow though; despite this hiccup the music was coming thick and fast. New vocalist Silja, of Nouvelle Vague fame, as well as collaborations with Television’s Tom Verlaine and old accomplice Boy George, delivered a breath of fresh air and it became clear they needed a suitable outlet for their re-energised musical vision.

Global Underground, with its history of dance music pioneers, was an obvious first choice and quickly snapped the boys up. They got straight down to business, with the “moody brooding” (Music Week) ‘Break My World’ getting the remix treatment from Caged Baby and Gavin Hardkiss in his Hawke guise amongst others in September 2006. Hot on its heels came Dark Globe’s long-awaited album proper ‘Nostalgia For The Future’. Entering the iTunes Electronic Album Chart at No.7, it showed off “the thing that really sets Dark Globe apart from other electronic based acts – their songwriting. Simply put, Nostalgia For The Future is something you need to hear.” (Jive Magazine)
The Dark Globe story began somewhere in the early 90s – in a musical climate where the baggy scene was swinging its collective flares and crusty rock was dying a deserved painful death - when Pete Diggens, drummer in psych punk band Electric Sex Circus, decided enough was enough. Touring with the likes of Blur and giving the Manic Street Preachers an early support slot (“seeing them in their make up lugging equipment about was hilarious,” he laughs) was no longer musically fulfilling. 

Along the way, their filthy breakbeat funk has soundtracked ‘Lara Croft: The Cradle of Life’, they’ve delivered inspired remixies for the likes of Orbital and Two Lone Swordsmen and if you profess to know your dance music history then you’ll know that Dark Globe are responsible for making the first ever breakbeat record, ‘Mondo Scurro’. 

Either way, there’s little doubt that Dark Globe are hard-to-categorise electronic music pioneers and, right now, we’ve never needed them more... 



Music is my therapy.  Playlists of current favs, workout motivation, chillout, and more. N-joy.

A symbiosis between dark and light <3

I'm Isha (Ish Anja) - Melbourne, AU. I like to carry sounds that give others a feeling of familiarity and splash of colour. Whichever journey can create something special for those who feel called to these sounds :)

I play regularly around Melbourne and have supported some great artists including Claudio PRC, Alpha Tracks, Christian Smith, Tensal, Laura King, Eric Powell, Township Rebellion and more.

My production style typically involves emotive/hypnotic melodies, tough kicks and my vocals. 

During my sets, my number one priority is taking people on a journey by weaving the different parts of myself into sound. This includes combining my darker hypnotic/melodic elements with a bit of breakbeats, to symbolise the coexistence of self acceptance and polarity between dark and light in life. 

Through sound, we can simply just be. <3
