IDENTIFY 2017

DarkateK started collecting records and making electronic music in the mid nineties. After doing a degree in Music Technology he started finishing some tracks and worked a few years (99 - 02) at a Portuguese music distribution company (Music Power) where he spent all of his wages and heard thousands of records. After being in Lisbon's scene for a while, he moved to Brighton where he lived and played many house parties, every club in town and a few festivals like Glastonbury, Sunrise, Waveform, Numb Numbs (Brazil) to name a few, until 2013.

Between 2013 and 2016 he moved between South America, Ibiza and Gran Canaria, and in 2016 he went back to his hometown (Lisbon) where he built his home studio and has been making music since.


DarkateK released his first EP in 2011 in collaboration with Tony Montana which came out on Naked Lunch Records. Since then he has released two solo EPs with T1 Music contributed to compilations on Ovelha Trax and Elberec.

DarkateK released his first vinyl in February 2025 on Ancient Technologies (distributed by Clone) and in May 2025 released an EP on the mighty Bass Agenda Recordings that you can check here:

I was a bit shy about sharing this side of me🫣😶‍🌫️ , but finally did it. I tried to blend some of my favorite sounds: footwork, halftime, dubstep, DnB, and deeper vibes. It's not perfect, but it's 100% from my heart❤️ Massive thanks to my close friends for all the support, and a special shout out to DJ Strawberry for the lessons and for pushing me to record 🙏🏻🔨🎛️

Thanks to everyone who listens, and to all the artists who keep inspiring me every day!

System Overview:
-------------------
An audio entity nestling at the intersection of bleeding-edge dancefloor subroutines and technical filth. This sonic mainframe transcends conventional genre boundaries. Welcome to the evolution of dancefloor electronics.

Core Modules:
---------------
1. Digital Distortions: A proprietary fusion of rhythmically charged modules, meticulously designed to synchronize neural oscillations and evoke spontaneous kinetic responses.

2. BRAWLcast: A sophisticated dissonance engine crafting audial anomalies that challenge conventional norms. This module introduces intricate layers of glitch, distortion, and sonic artifacts, creating an immersive auditory environment ensuring a dynamic and unpredictable listening experience.

3. @KitchenSpasm: The epitome of controlled chaos, this module pioneers uncharted territories, seamlessly blending the organic with the synthetic.

Signal Flow Architecture:
--------------------------
- Input Stage: Raw creativity ingested from the creative minds, dissected and analyzed for maximum sonic potential.

- Processing Layer: State-of-the-art algorithms meticulously fine-tune each element, optimizing for dancefloor resonance and sonic innovation.

- Output Matrix: The final product, a meticulously engineered sonic entity ready for dissemination into the auditory network.

Error Handling Mechanisms:
-----------------------------
Digital Distortions operates on a zero-tolerance policy for sonic conformity. Any deviation from the established norms is considered a feature, not a bug. Embrace the irregularity, become the data.

Future Upgrades:
------------------
Digital Distortions envisions continual upgrades and expansions. Stay tuned for firmware updates that will push the boundaries of dancefloor electronics further towards the pinnacle of algorithmic harmony.
