Darkmode has established himself as a prominent figure in the high-paced Techno music scene over the past decade. His journey began with the release of 'The DATA EP' on Testin Out Records, which caught the attention of influential figures such as Andrew Weatherall, Radioactive Man, Regis, and DJ Bone.

As both a producer and DJ, Darkmode quickly rose to prominence, earning recognition from prestigious platforms like DJ MAG's Pick N' Mix and IDJ Magazine's Raw Talent Selection. His DJ sets have graced numerous parties, raves, and festivals across the UK & Ireland, where he has shared the stage with esteemed artists including Radioactive Man, Ben Long, Phil Kieran, Marco Bailey, Ignition Technician, Bas Mooy, DJ 3000, Scan 7, and Dave Clarke.

Darkmode's music releases, alongside his own label Biotech Recordings, have consistently garnered significant support within the techno community, solidifying his position as a driving force in the genre.

Owner of 586 Records, in Gateshead. A vinyl only Record Store. All playing, all dancing music selector from Peterlee. Deein the DEX since Summer 1991. 

Resident at "Reverb" in Newcastle, early 2000's and more recently, Resident and co-promoter of "Suono". Occasional DJ for the superb Star And Shadow venue, in Newcastle. Happy, on the dancefloor, or providing the music for the dancers!.

Pretty much every mix found on here was done via 2 turntables, occasionally 2 cdj's and lots of cursing when I've been fighting to either get records in or to stay in. Rare is it, that I've used a computer or edited my mixes. I believe in keeping the human touch!!.

On this page you'll hear many of the tunes I grew up with and loved, around the 1990-1991 mark. I wasn't out clubbing at the beginning of the house explosion - I was listening to Deacon Blue, INXS, New Order, Joy Division, Stone Roses, Happy Mondays and the type of "pop" that is now, more than likely, Balearic!.

I know it's a cliché, but I like to think that some of the mixes, almost tell a story - whether in the mood they create, or with the songs and lyrics within, that are used. Time, thought and a bit of effort have gone into them, so I hope you enjoy them and if you do, please feel free to share with friends - either by pointing them in the direction of my page, or downloading and putting onto disc and listening to, over and over again...x

I've been around, I've done stuff...
