Discover Dark, Discover Oberon - The Dark Lord of Trance!

2014 has seen a whirlwind of activity for the Discover Dark head honcho Oberon

2014 has seen a whirlwind of activity for the Discover Dark head honcho Oberon and with plans for 2015 already in full swing; the whirlwind looks set to become a hurricane as we prepare to unleash this ungovernable force!

This summer saw the release of Discover Dark 100, a celebration of 10 years and a centenary of releases by the genre defining Tech Trance imprint. 

With Oberon at the helm of the project, he pulled together a package of remixes, of some of the labels biggest tracks by the cream of the underground including Peter Plaznik, Liam Wilson, Chris Voro, Johan Eckman and many more! He capped this off by delivering a belter of a mix that demonstrates how he is the undisputed heavyweight of dark trance.

And now, fans of the dark uber-lord will be happy to hear that Oberon is going back on the road. Having joined Militant Artist in the summer, gigs have already been confirmed for Glasgow and Brighton in early 2015, with many more appearances in the pipeline. With a career that spans over 25 years, Oberon has played in more than 20 countries including Japan, Canada, Holland, Germany, Australia and of course his native UK. He has also held residencies in all the major trance clubs in the UK, including Pendragon, Antiworld, Escape from Samsara and can boast that he is the only UK DJ to hold a 3 year residency in Argentina.

With this in mind it seems fitting that having revisited the country that is so close to his heart in 2013, he has paired up with Javier Bussola from Magic/B.A.T. to pull together a brand new track entitled “Different World”. Its the pair's first collaboration since Javier’s release “Magic Leaf” on the Mesh label back in 2000, and with trademark deep, dark, psy-trance overtones, we can't wait! Further news on remixes for this package will be announced later in the year!

Oberon is also currently working on his next album for the Militant Artists series. True to form, this will be no ordinary production as he looks to tear up the rulebook one again and unleashes his own style of black magic, whilst inviting fellow lords of the Underworld to add their own wizardry - as they say “Its not what you know “Its who you know”!
