Dark Elf

   

DarkElf is an atmospheric, deep & tribal night time psychedelic trance project,
inspired by early European & Russian producers, the journey into
electronic music began around 1997.
Around 2000 DarkElf starts spinning in private parties as DJ. 2004 is a key year: in
the greek underground scene, huge free parties are held in the
country’s universities, where he has an active crew.
Serious production interest starts the same year, when a friend lends him a Roland JP-
8000, the first hardware synthesizer he will experiment with.
His initial release sees the light on a compilation by Discovalley
Records in 2006 and the worldwide experience starts in 2007 when
he visits Goa, in incredible India.
Electro-dub is his other musical passion, heavily influenced by french
bands of the genre - he teams up with Vlastur in 2008, a talented greek
bassist - they form a band together & perform since then on multiple
live stages, under the well known name: Vlastur Live Band.
In 2010 he releases his first solo album and until now he has numerous
appearances on various compilations of well-established darkpsy labels.
In 2011 he is part of the core members founding Sonic Loom, a
collective of electronic musicians based in Athens, Hellas.
In India he is one of the first artists working actively with Pralayah
Records, the promising label behind the darkpsy festival series called: Karacus Marakus.
Second full length album comes in 2021.
