Another broadcast akin to the lockdown feels – grouchy wobbles and skatty rhythms interjected with hopeful moments. This month @otisser joins with a guest mix in the second hour exercising a blend of experimental electronics, folk and field recordings within a gritty dubbed-out sphere.

What and who is A Darker Wave?
We are a duo (jacki-e & p-mac) who present A Darker Wave every week only on NLive Radio, Circl8 Radio, Echo Radio & Chill Lover Radio. We put the show together in our home studio. The show is streamed worldwide on the internet. Each show is posted on our Soundcloud, Mixcloud, Hearthis.at, Podbean and You Tube pages once it has been streamed and presents the best in new techno releases.
We also play gigs as A Darker Wave and we have played at events in Germany and all over the UK.
The music we play is techno, tech house, deep house and anything else we like enough to include in the show.
Each show is 2 hours long. In the first hour we go into the mix with our featured EP of the week and the best of the new releases.
In the second hour we invite new and upcoming DJs to come onto the show and do a guest mix.

Why are you called A Darker Wave?
Dark Wave was first used in the 1980s to describe a dark and melancholy variant of new wave and post-punk music and was first applied to UK musicians such as Bauhaus, Joy Division, Sisters of Mercy, Cocteau Twins, The Cure, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Depeche Mode and Anne Clark. It was also used to describe artists who combined music with performance art, such as Throbbing Gristle and Cabaret Voltaire, who challenged and explored the darker and obsessive sides of the human condition.

A lot of techno takes its spirit and ethos from this music, Listen to Throbbing Gristle or Cabaret Voltaire and you can hear the industrial sounds which are a staple of techno music today.

Techno is the outsider of electronic dance music, the punk of today's modern music scene. As Dave Clarke said in an interview with Mixmag, " Techno is edgy. Techno will challenge you......it's the real dark art."

Our radio show, in presenting the best in underground techno and deep house music, and in giving an opportunity for new, up and coming DJ's and producers, is providing an outlet for new techno, which is best described as being the new wave of modern dance music.

Not just a new wave, but with it's incessant bass rumblings, synthesiser drones, pounding drums, melodic top notes and eerie, distorted vocal samples, techno, in all its forms, is a backdrop to and a critique of our post-industrial, consumerist society, one in which our actions are observed 24/7, our democratic freedoms are threatened by our very own governments and our rights to do, think and act as we please are under ever increasing scrutiny. Techno really is A Darker Wave.

When we were listening to music in the 60’s and 70’s, before the electronic tentacles of technology infiltrated the world, we often thought, whilst listening to the likes of Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, King Crimson, Frank Zappa, Hawkwind, Captain Beefhart, New York Dolls and Roxy Music, where would music go to in the future? It could never be what was being portrayed in the science fiction movies of the time. Now we know. It can be anything. When we have a recording studio in our own home which is more powerful and versatile than anything available back then, we now know music can be anything and go anywhere. It is only the spark of our imaginations, or lack of it, that holds us back. On our laptop computers we have the capabilities that many artists back then would have given their right arms for. It’s for the uniqueness of the artist to express themselves to be able to stand out from the deluge of music available. Finding those gems is the modern day equivalent of crate digging and when you do, it makes it all worthwhile. Long live music!!!!

The Valencrimes 

LOVE HATE GUITARS NOISE DRUMS BASS

The law of polarity is the principle that everything has two “poles”:  From good to bad, love to hate and attraction to disconnection. 
Everything in the universe has an opposite, everything is dual and that’s what allows us to experience life to the fullest and appreciate everything that’s good in the world.

Could you know happiness without sadness? Is there love without pain? Dark without light? 

The Valencrimes is a melodic indie rock act born out of the influences of guitar and synth based post rock, indie and electronic genres. They write songs that rock and pop with conceptual lyrics, driving bass, melodic guitars, grooving drums and catchy, memorable vocal melodies that linger everywhere along the line between the extremes of love and hate.

In 2020 The Valencrimes released 10 singles independently and are currently mixing new tracks set to be released this year. Here’s some of what other bands say: “Authentic, stylish and powerful alt rock” - Alex M. “Great duality of shyness and feelings explosion” - 245. “A ballad of beautifulness that takes your breath away” -Low Batt.  “Brilliant tune. Vocal is kicking - Kurt Vile/Dylan/Geldof style vocal” - The Florentine Dagger.
