Keeping it on the deeper side of funk and the darker side of groovy, the Zenonesque sound is one that sends down deep roots when it works it's way inside you. Unique enough to have created it's own sub genre, it is... incredibly organic, techy and complex. It moves off on waves of bass then slips sideways into the shadows. This is a feast for the ears indeed.

Zenonesque by Nokturnal - www.djnokturnal.ca

Tomasz (Atmos) has had a huge impact on my musical sensibilites ever since I first heard his album Headcleaner. When the opportunity came up to bring him to Calgary for an intimate gathering of 150 firends in a beautiful art gallery space with a killer Pk sound system, I had to make it happen. After months of navigating one roadblock after another, the event finally was a go and it was an incredible night of awesome music and fantastic friends.

Ensuring that I had the dancefloor grooving when handing it over to Tomasc was a top priority. Rather than play a set of Zenonesque style psytrance, I chose to go with a more clubby sound that would suit the venue and the music to follow mine. This is a live recording of my set and I'm sporting a big goofy grin as I give it a listen and remember the packed crowd of smiling people. I hope you can hear the enjoyment coming through loud and clear.

DJ Nokturnal - Live at Atmos 2013 - www.djnokturnal.ca

With meticulously selected and expertly woven sonic gems, the Nokturnal sound covers a wide range of psychedelica. His true skills are unleashed however when taking a trance floor from the deeper, groovier, more hypnotic soundscapes of PsyTech, PsyBreaks and Progressive Psy, all the way to the mind-bending bliss of driving, soul-vibrating Dark Progressive Psytrance.

Swapping his ice climbing gear for a Gemini UMX9 mixer and a pair of Tech 12 turntables in the late 1990’s, in no time Darvin was a regular performer at some of the largest North American festivals such as Shambhala, Motion Notion and Burning Man. It was not long before he was playing peak-time sets alongside international headliners as an artist for Zenon Records at gatherings as far away as Boom Festival, Portugal, numerous clubs in Goa, India, in Byron Bay, Australia, and closer to home at both Symbiosis in California, and Eclipse Gathering in Quebec.

His hit V/A compilation and DJ mix Sea of Vapours on Zenon Records was voted the #2 Progressive Psytrance compilation release of the year on Isratrance, and his DJ mix Zenonesque charted at #3 on Beatport.com out of over 3500 mixes of all genres. Currently the driving force behind PurePsyence Events (which includes the annual outdoor PurePsyence Gathering along with Night Flight club nights and streaming events), Nokturnal’s passion for rocking the Zenon groove in North America and abroad has been… relentless. In 2021 Nokturnal joined Techgnosis Records, home to some of the best PsyTech being produced today which makes it a deadly addition to the Zenon arsenal.

You can find all his most current sets paired with stunning visuals on his YouTube channel. Stop by, enjoy, and subscribe.
