Darklight has two meanings for me. 

First it's a portrait.. you could even call it a love letter, to the independent producer community. People often only see the end result of a track. the polished final product. What most people don't realise is the sheer volume of hard work that goes into personal and skills development,  technical competencies, mixing, mastering, sound design and composition. 
Then there's marketing, promotion, branding, networking, social media management, ads and analytics... all of which is underpinned by a 24/7 focus to do their best work every day. 
And it's hard. Especially when you get flippant comments from playlist curators (literally every artist I know has experienced this) who really should know better...

Many producers quit. All producers find some days harder than others, trying to make space for their passion alongside work, family and life in general. But sheer determination and commitment pushes them on, through the dark days, to find th moment where something clicks. The adrenalin from producing something that expresses that which you intended, perfectly. There's no better feeling. 

It's also a self portrait. 

Darklight has been a hugely challenging production to complete - 63 tracks,. 11 changes and a lot of clashing sounds in the early stages of development .But I'm really proud of the final product. It encapsulates the sound I want to make. A blend of light ethereal sounds, coupled with dark undertones. A fusion of dark and light. Energy and trepidation. 
I'm so happy with the result and I truly hope you enjoy it!

I’ve always been fascinated with city streets at night. What goes on in the after hours?

Today on the Marko and Andy Power Hour these two cobbers just watched Mega Force and spoiler alert… it sucked. We get an update on Andy’s arcade machine build, more retro game emulator talk, and Marko loves Pseudoephedrine. Nothing will ever be the same as Marko is shocked by Andy’s startling Goldeneye revelation! Plus the old man hosts listen to some awesome music!
