One Eyed Jacks ceased activity in 2017 with a record by Photonz released under a different alias. It was the right time to let go: when the label started, in 2010, there were few electronic music labels in Portugal and a growing new wave of artists that needed to be documented and shown. Along the years, new labels - more capable ones - developed to cater to that need while projects like Rádio Quântica, co-founded by Photonz and Violet, seemed better instruments to carry on the vision of elevating and documenting a fledgling scene. But the itch for editorial expression was never gone and come 2023, One Eyed Jacks is back to life, animated by a renewed trust in the music and visions of how to apply its mysterious power to move, inspire and heal.

Lisbon-based Kara Konchar AKA Miguel Béco picks up on the original’s more emotive motifs and builds up a dense storm of heavy drums, unpredictable changes and texturally-rich variations on the melodies, bringing the drama levels way up.

PREMIERE: Photonz - Orpheus (Kara Konchar Remix)[One Eyed Jacks]

Darka kicked off his DJ career in late 90s and was the champion of "Hong Kong Pioneer DJ Competition" in 2003.  It was a milestone of his spinning career and made himself a well-known figure amongst dance floor.  Since then, he has devoted all his vigour to the development of electronic dance music in Hong Kong.

His name has come across with many notably DJs and producers, such as Paul Oakenfold, Nick Warren,Timo Maas , Jimmy Van M, James Zabiela, Tall Paul, Evil Nine, Radio Slave, Meat Katie, Elite Force, Stel, JDS, John Graham (Quivver), Phil K, Adam Freeland, Ricky Stone, Luke Fair and Andy Moor.  The co-operations with those big guns strongly influenced his music styles and techniques. Deep House is his signature, loops and effects are his trumps.

On top of the ones own effort and passion, no doubt Darka's achievements are more or less in connection with his respectable "Master cum mentor" - Mr. David Lam, an orthodox DJ and professional producer, who does not only teach him the turntable tricks and know-how, but also broaden his	 	
horizons of borderless dance music universe.

I would like to tell the people of the world to dry your eyes and spit in your palms! Shoulder by shoulder! We got an earth to save: 7 mia people = 300 million ton, all cattle, pigs (the ones with 4 legs and a curled tail) , sheep and chicken(the ones on two legs) = 700 million ton, the wild animal = not even 100 ton. For 65 million years ago an asteroid extenquished dinosaurs. We got ourselves, sadly er don’t need asteroids🤯😱😭😳🥵🥶😶‍🌫️🫥🫠🤥🙄😴🤮🤢🤐😷🤒🤕🤑🤑🤑
