A night devoted to the darker side of the psyche. This stylistically dark night will emphasize on despair, loneliness and death. Mix_Sessions - Darken will Construct a gloomy surreal night with VJ KAS and VJ Athanore mixing a complex set of dark surreal visual compositions, creating shadows that will weave to the mysterious sounds of DJs Mr. Black and Dysklo. Come join us in this homage to "film noir" in a modern night of imagery and sound, producing a dark atmosphere of dread and paranoia.

In the DJ booth, DJ Dysklo is a perfectionist who masterfully creates tribal crescendos and heart stopping transitions. He can take a crowd on a journey that suits all styles, and his feisty personality comes through loud and clear. But his talents transcend the DJ booth and are amplified in the studio. Three years ago, he started remixing/producting in his bedroom studio and has shown that his skills are well beyond anyones expectations. All in all, this DJ/PRODUCER/REMIXER will be in a big way in the short years to come.
