Kapotcast.34: D-Spirit (Dec 2025)

To mark the 150th release of underground industrial powerhouse Dark. Descent., I had the honour of remixing a track by label boss The Relic. (In return, he created a remix of my 2015 doomcore monolith Overhead, Without Any Fuss, The Stars Were Going Out for the same release.)

Dark. Descent. holds a very special place in my grimy heart. It’s the label where Starving Insect was born, and for over 13 years they’ve quietly (their social media game still isn’t their strong suit) delivered a relentless stream of top-tier industrial, darkcore, doomcore and experimental hardcore.

Many renowned producers took their first steps on this label, a label that never asked artists to dilute their vision or chase trends.

If you haven’t already dug through the Dark. Descent. catalog and its sublabels, prepare yourself. There’s a massive treasure of quality alternative hardcore waiting for you.

And to really hammer in the label’s uncompromising ethos, here’s the title of the release:

V/A – Collected: Into the Dark Lands – Chronicles of the Pale Wanderer – The Remixes

BUNKER.C.A.S.T.

BUNKER.C.A.S.T XI "The Annihilation"

Industrial hardcore has been one of the most consistent styles that hardcore has spawned, going strong since the turn of the millennia. The same goes for The Relic, moniker of Dutch producer Maurice Pinkster, who has been a steady contributor, and a key player of the scene since its humble beginnings. 

After starting as a producer in 1994, initially releasing on various labels, he found his first home on FIX Records and Neophyte’s Symp.tom, where he released a string of influential 12”es. After Symp.tom went defunct, he created his own label Dark.Descent. in order to be able to develop The Relic – and his various other projects like Zanthrax, Dual Mechanism, Hidden Rooms (dark acid techno) and of course Cubic Nomad (from hard rhythmic IDM to serene ambience) with complete artistic freedom. 

Pushing dark and industrial hardcore and techno forward, Dark.Descent has also released prolific artists like Embrionyc, Dep Affect, Sei2ure, Sound Abuse, Starving Insect and many more; The Relic has cooperated with artists such as Dep Affect, Moleculez, Innovative, Sidephex, Mute. and remixed the likes of Neophyte, Human Resource, Mono No Aware, Sacerdos Vigilia, Traffik, Embrionyc, Somatic Responses, ▲NGST or X-Core. 

The Relic now looks back at a triptych of bunker-themed full-length albums, all pinnacles of his extra-dark, trademark sound that has brought him wide recognition across genre borders. His reputation as a DJ is also more than rock solid, and many of his killer mixes can be found online or via the infamous “Ben Harder Show” which he co-founded. 

Immerse yourself into the dark and distorted world of The Relic – if you dare!
