Maksim Dark has established himself as a prolific powerhouse on the scene over the past decade - his instantly recognisable style being picked up and celebrated by some of the top names in
the game. The Russian producer burst into people’s consciousness in 2011, winning the ear of techno royalty like Richie Hawtin and Dubfire. Having released five albums (Alkapones in 2011,
Mechanica in 2012, With Bated Breath in 2013, My Time Is Fire in 2014, Unbroken in 2015) - plus countless singles and remix projects - he’s back with what is perhaps his most accomplished work to date.
Insomnia contains 13 tracks of the talented Russian’s signature sound - tough, shadowy techno that grooves hard and is shot through with attitude and style. 

From opener ‘Dominator’ through to Dark’s personal favourte ‘Globalize’ and other highlights such as the LP’s lead single ‘Loud
Rave’ and brooding closing track ‘Noah’, this long-player could be one of Dark’s epic sets behind the decks. There’s linearity to the journey and each track seems to complement the other. Drums hit hard, pitched down vocals add the edge, and his beautifully-designed laser-sharp synths cut through everything creating the ultimate soundtrack to the nights we want never to end.

Originaire de Mulhouse, Neko a découvert la techno en 1999 par le biais de la trance, et a commencé à mixer en 2023 avec un style initialement orienté tech house. Au fil du temps, il a développé un univers plus sombre et mental, enrichi par la peak techno berlinoise, l’acid et la techno suisse/alémanique. Son école tech house lui a permis d’acquérir une technique très propre, tout en explorant des grooves hypnotiques et des textures immersives.

Ses influences vont de Ritchie Hawtin à Space 92, en passant par Amelie Lens et d’autres figures majeures de la scène techno. Que ce soit de la minimal ou de la peak techno, les sets de Neko sont toujours intenses, linéaires ou prévisibles ? Il ne connaît pas ce mot. Chaque mix est pensé pour emmener le public dans un voyage musical progressif, plein d’énergie et de punch.
