Music inspires in many ways, especially when your cosmos has revolved around black discs and shimmering Disco balls for nearly half an eternity. Crisder and DMS didn’t just yesterday fall for the groove of the diverse genres of electronic music. Since 1996 they have served as DJ’s of the night, who don’t simply pass on by, but instead remain a magical experience in the memories of their dancing audience. Up to now, important points along their musical journey haven’t only included clubs across the whole of Germany. They have also included appearances in Villa Bardzki and Aioula. Especially formative was their collective experience in Kollektiv 1..auditeur, which brought together many talented artists from Jena, Gera, Erfurt and the surrounding area, influencing the entire region’s sound. From all these experiences they have drawn the inspiration for their first collective tracks, which were cut from an overflowing tap of creativity and ideas, as well as their love for music- and not just in four-four time. In 2006 both artists decided not only create together as DJs but also to become active as a production team. As they began to work together under the name of Taron-Trekka the music scene began to pay attention, as they elegantly laid down deep beats, crackling sounds and purring melodies. Since then boundaries between Jena and Berlin have continued to be cleared, reshaped and broken in order to prove, with the help of new tracks, that this newly enlarged axis of music functions better and more productively then ever. The stylistic reach of Taron-Trekka’s music is too large for just one drawer. The groove moves at once so elegantly and fully, that you’ll feel you’ve discovered house music all over again. Before you know what’s hit you, the beat and rhythm will lead you to the grey zone which divides house and techno, and you’ll feel as if you were dreaming on the dancefloor. There are many ways to rediscover the beauty of slowness and to inspire yourself anew; among which the music of Taron-Trekka easily belongs.

The Dark Secrets was formed by Jeff Parsons, Colin Holgate and Julia Hunn in 1989. It was a studio band which ran parallel to their live band Drum Animals; some songs were performed by both bands.
Dark Secrets recorded the album Disclosure at Colin's Mayfield Studio in Gilberdyke with the help of Col's son Gary and the support and encouragement of his other son Darren. Gary and Darren both played in Drum Animals too.
Jeff, as the main songwriter, was very keen to play guitar and bass and also (despite having at best a pretty poor voice!) to sing; as a songwriter Jeff says "you want to be able to sing your own songs". This meant playing live would be difficult as the guitar parts continued to grow!
In 2011 Jeff recorded new material under the Dark Secrets imprint in Hull with Dan Foster at the controls (also providing keyboards and angelic harmonies!) and Kelvin Baldwin on the drum stool. The first fruit of this endeavour is "Let Yourself Go" which is an old song Jeff had never recorded except for a Portastudio demo.
Three other songs were then completed and  uploaded; Serious Future, The Space Age and My Soul Is Crying Out For You are older songs which, like Let Yourseld Go, have never been definitively recorded until now! These were then released as the "Stratagems" EP.
Other tracks are demos and works in progress from the post-Disclosure period, except for Metallic Blue which is an ambient improvisation which Jeff developed to accompany an art exhibition at the East Riding College, where he used to teach on a contemporary music course.
The band has now finished recording its second full-length album, a mere twenty-three years after the first, which is available now! It's called "Band Of Brothers" and features twelve brand-new recordings from Hull's Element Studio.
