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!!!!

I love music. ❤️
For me, music is morning coffee.
It‘s mood medicine.
It‘s pure magic.
A good song is like a good meal-
I just want to inhale it
and then share a bit with someone else.

Thanks for listening, commenting and reposting. 

Growing up in Solingen near Cologne and Düsseldorf, I had some fantastic club experiences. 
My great passion is dancing. I started mixing during the pandemic in June 21 and now I play for many radio stations, including Radio Kosmos Berlin, Techneck Techno & Tech House, Profound Radio UK and 365 FM Radio. Guest mix on NDC Radio UK. I love house music in all its genres and of course techno. I express my love of music in my sets, which are always very impulsive and full of energy. The groove just has to be right. I produced my first song with a good friend Hardvalley in 2025. I have my own club series on Sundays in a cultural association here in my city Waldmeister e.V.

"One good thing about music,

Bob Marley

Sylvie Miles
Producing music since 2020, Sylvie Miles started out in the world of Electro House before discovering a deep passion for techno in 2021. As a singer, she always incorporates her own voice into the productions, creating a unique and recognizable sound.
Blending pop-infused house elements and trance influences into techno, Sylvie Miles refuses to follow trends or labels, letting the music speak for itself. Every track is crafted straight from a home studio - proof that creativity knows no boundaries.
Sylvie Miles’s music has landed on major playlists like "Techno Bunker" and "Electronic Rising", and has been supported by Sunshine Live multiple times. The track "I Love Berlin" (Rave the Planet) even made it into rotation. In 2024, Sylvie Miles remixed the Rave the Planet Hymn "Love is Stronger", further cementing a place in the scene.
The track "Man in the Woods" was widely supported by Sama’ Abdulhadi and was selected for the prestigious "Mixed Series by Fabric London", even being pressed on vinyl. The collaboration "We All Unite" has already amassed nearly 3 million plays, while the recent release "Wanna Dance" (late 2024) has gathered almost 400,000 plays in a short time.

In 2024, Sylvie Miles founded neophilia records, a label that embodies the freedom and authenticity of the music. Without chasing goals or expectations, every release is a reflection of pure artistic expression - letting the soul speak through sound.

With performances across Germany and neighboring countries, Sylvie Miles has played at renowned festivals like "Rave the Planet," "Nature One," and "Close Festival," as well as clubs like "Ritter Butzke," "Kit Kat," "Rakete," "Proton," and "Odonien." Recognition followed, with a Top 6 spot as Newcomer of the Year in FAZEmag 2023 and a place in the Top 100 DJs in 2024.

And this is just the beginning.
