Owner of Blue Monkey Records

Music has always been at the forefront of his mind, and now Darmec has turned his love and passion into a profession.

Just a few years after discovering techno, Stuart decided to start producing his own tracks in late 2011, and it didn’t take long for him to get hooked. Inspired by the elite artists in the scene, he always aims to create intense atmosphere, energy and euphoria in his music; while consistently delivering those signature driving basslines.

To begin producing at the age of 26, you could say Stuart was a late starter – but he is well on his way to making up for lost time. Going from strength to strength, he is now releasing on a number of well-respected labels – including Techburst Records, Hydraulix, Ragnarok Berlin, Eclipse Recordings, Dolma Rec and also his own label Blue Monkey Records. 

Anyone familiar with the Beatport Hard Techno Chart will know Darmec well, with his tracks consistently making the top 10 - including no less than 9 number 1 hits. He also reached the top spot of the release chart with his first album ‘Direction Of Complexity' and also his joint LP with Dario Sorano; 'Black Ice'.

He has also proven his hand as a remixer, making the most of opportunities to remix tracks by esteemed artists such as Alberto Ruiz, Axel Karakasis, Eric Sneo, Mark Sherry, Gayle San, Pappenheimer, Frank Kvitta and A Paul.

Taking another step forward, he launched his own record label 'Blue Monkey Records' in June 2017, which has already received glowing feedback from some high profile names.

Notable landmarks have come along the way for Darmec, none less than having his tracks played by the likes of UMEK, Deadmau5, Sander Van Doorn, Eddie Halliwell, Spartaque, Ben Nicky & Mark Sherry, and also the somewhat unexpected support of Martin Gore of Depeche Mode, who played the track ‘Fashion’ in his warm-up DJ set on their Delta Machine Tour 2013/2014 to packed out stadiums around the world.

Darmec is now making his name on the DJ circuit and relishing the opportunity to perform to live audiences. Delivering his brand of dark, high-energy techno to crowds in countries such as Germany, Canada, Netherlands, Switzerland, Bosnia, Lithuania, Slovenia, Slovakia and the UK; Darmec is gradually growing into a prominent figure in the techno scene.
