1
Neutral Buoyancy
balanceDuring the pandemic, factors including childcare and working from home are increasing stress levels, which can in turn cause headaches and migraines.Since people have been shuttered up during the pandemic, they’ve also been spending more time looking at computer and smartphone screens and drinking wine.

Everybody Nice
likedDo you have to suffer for your art? It's only when emerge from a period of illness that you can look at the darkness and find the words to describe it. So maybe the key to being a great artist and songwriter with a long and happy life is to dare to go to those dark places – but don't make them your home.

Bones
griefIf you’re holding off on fully feeling your grief, you might find that it manifests in a different way. Headaches, irritability, aches and pains, anxiousness, mood swings, or feeling numb and apathetic are all typical delayed grief symptoms.

Negative Buoyancy
downNegative buoyancy occurs when an object is denser than the fluid it displaces. The object will sink because its weight is greater than the buoyant force.
5
Rain
copingThe weather supplies many metaphors for our changeable minds. Moods can brighten and darken, dispositions can be sunny, futures can be under a cloud and relationships can be stormy. Like the weather, our emotions sometimes seem like fickle forces of nature: unstable, enveloping and uncontrollable.

Waves
loveInterlude to something more profound, a deeper love and back in to your eyes.

Circuit Dreams
stressTo live a fluid life, we need balance – between what has been to what will be.

silencePositive buoyancy occurs when an object is lighter than the fluid it displaces. The object will float because the buoyant force is greater than the object’s weight.

Darkvoice: Techno with a Soul
Hailing from Amsterdam, Darkvoice is the brainchild of Mark Lupker, a lifelong music lover and producer. Inspired by the likes of Underworld, Darkvoice's sound is a blend of dark techno, ambient, and experimental beats, with a focus on raw emotion and personal expression.
Driven by passion and loss
After the death of his father in 1997, Mark turned to music as a way to cope with his grief. Experimenting with voice-based music, he created two concept albums exploring themes of loss, love, and finding balance in life.
A labor of love
For over 25 years, Mark has honed his craft, refining his sound and developing his own unique style. In 2022, he released his debut album, "Positive Buoyancy," a culmination of his journey as a musician.
More than just music
Darkvoice is not just about the music. Mark's live sets are a fully immersive experience, featuring mesmerizing visuals and live vocal performances. He takes the audience on a journey through his own personal experiences, exploring the depths of human emotion.
Ready to take the next step
In 2023, Darkvoice is ready to share his music with the world. He is eager to take his music to new audiences in 2024.
Darkvoice is:
- Raw, emotional techno
- A unique blend of styles
- A personal journey through music
- A mesmerizing live experience
