Mokhtar El Hamdouchi, known by his musical moniker Martyre, is a Moroccan-born electronic music producer and DJ whose artistic path is as diverse as the sounds he creates. His journey began at the age of 12, not with turntables and synthesizers, but with the methodical precision of classical training. Within the hallowed halls of Morocco's National Conservatory of Music and Choreographic Art, he honed his skills on the guitar, immersing himself in the fundamentals of music theory. This classical grounding would prove to be the foundation upon which he would build his unique sonic identity.

Not content with just the strings of a guitar, Martyre's curiosity soon led him to the violin, further expanding his musical vocabulary. But at 16, a new world of sound beckoned. The pulsating rhythms and infectious energy of electronic music captured his imagination. He delved into the art of beatmaking, collaborating with local rappers in Morocco's burgeoning hip-hop scene.
Life, however, rarely follows a straight line. Education took Martyre to China, a land of vibrant culture and untapped potential. Here, an unexpected twist of fate awaited him. His first job in Shanghai was far from the world of music production – he became a promoter, working his way up to become one of the city's most sought-after names in the bustling nightlife scene.

This experience wasn't just about navigating the world of nightclubs; it was an immersion in the world of electronic dance music. Martyre rubbed shoulders with international superstars like Steve Aoki, Skrillex, KSHMR, and R3HAB. But it was his encounter with R3HAB, a fellow Moroccan artist, that truly ignited a passion within him. Seeing the love R3HAB received in China planted a seed. Martyre realized the boundless potential of electronic music to connect people across cultures.

Inspired, Martyre embarked on a new chapter. He traded club promotion for DJ gear and delved into the art of mixing and producing electronic music. His initial forays into the scene saw him perform at iconic Shanghai venues like Hollywood nightclub, showcasing his skills alongside other rising stars in China's EDM scene.
However, a move to Canada marked a shift in Martyre's focus. He temporarily stepped away from the DJ booth, dedicating himself to mastering the art of music production. This period of introspective exploration led him to discover the darker, more intricate sounds of melodic techno and progressive house. Artists like Tale of Us, Mathame, Artbat, and Fideles became his sonic guides.

The culmination of this exploration was a collaboration with the legendary Moroccan singer Hamid El Kasri . Together, they crafted "HVMDVCIA," a melodic techno track released on Palm Therapy Sounds, one of Morocco's biggest electronic music labels. This release, along with several remixes and follow-up tracks in 2023, cemented Martyre's place in the melodic techno scene.

Martyre's vision extends beyond his own production. He aspires to create experiences that transcend the boundaries of music. His goal is to take listeners on an "auditory adventure," crafting sets that are unique and transformative. This ambition is further reflected in his upcoming project – KryptiK. Envisioned as a multifaceted creative force, KryptiK will encompass a record label, event organization, and brand, with its inaugural event scheduled for the summer of 2024.

From the discipline of classical training to the frenetic energy of nightclubs, Martyre's artistic journey is a testament to his insatiable curiosity and dedication to his craft. As he continues to explore the sonic possibilities of electronic music, one can only wait with anticipation to see where his adventurous spirit and creative vision will take him next.

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!!!!

Electronic Music Producer | Co-CEO of Beta-Time Records

Since my first sequences in FastTracker nearly 30 years ago, I’ve developed a creative approach focused on sound exploration, electronic texture design, and technical evolution in music production. I work with a hybrid setup of software and hardware, with a particular interest in balancing rhythmic structure and atmospheric depth.

As Co-CEO of Beta-Time Records, I manage projects, curate releases, and collaborate with artists to shape proposals that stand out in today’s electronic music scene. Continuous improvement—both in mixing and composition—is a core part of my creative process.

light gal is a rising star of London’s house and techno scene. Drawing influence from such labels as Terminal M, Drumcode, and Innervisions, as well listing DJs like Charlotte De Witte, Mha Iri and Massano as some of her many inspirations, light gal creates unique and exploratory sets ranging from dark and melodic to peak time techno. With appearances at across Ibiza, Florida as well as various venues accross London such as Ministry of Sound, Corsica Studios and Dalston Superstore, she is quickly emerging as a talent to watch.

Born in Surrey, one of her first introductions to dance music was during primary school, listening to compilations of Ibiza summer hits. She attended Reigate College, whose alumni include Disclosure and Fatboy Slim, and went on to study a Masters degree at the University of Bristol in Maths and Computer Science. It was here that her passion for the music was truly cemented, becoming a frequent visitor to legendary Bristol venues like Lakota, Motion, and Dojo Nightclub. After her studies, she moved back to Surrey, concentrating on her craft while working at the Academy of Contemporary Music.

She was first drawn to dance music through early underground dubstep from the likes of artists such as Plastician and Rusko. When the genre began to die down it opened her eyes to different sounds and styles, particularly house and techno. “The thing I love about the style of house I play is that everyone can be happy and dance along even if they don’t know the songs - it’s that sort of vibe. But with techno though, it’s the opposite. Dark, cold, industrial, yet melodic - but still stuff you can dance to!”

Light Gal kick-started her DJ career by performing in Ibiza over the Summer of 2017. During her time on the island, she performed at Ibiza Rocks and Hush nightclub, and was so well-received that she was invited back the following year. Since then, she has been busy - performing across London and establishing her own event ‘Minority Influence,’ which hopes to disprove the opinions and biases of people who consider the house and techno scene to be exclusively white and male, and looks forward to organising its next instalment soon. Between gigs, Light gal is currently curating DERILIKT Techno - a series of dark and melodic mixes, and the bi-annual Pure House Anthems, packed with UK House dance floor fillers.

Sharing, creating, and playing music has always been my passion.
