Darkvoice vs Underworld DJset

DJ set played live at the Underworld in Gashouder Amsterdam - afterparty 15-3 / 16-3 2024.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

Terry Gilliam's film Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas follows Hunter S. Thompson's drug-fuelled road trip through the American dream — chaos, comedy and a mirror held up to a culture coming apart. That energy is the DNA of this project.

Darkvoice first released Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas as a concept album in 2003: a stubborn, nineties-electronics rollercoaster slipping into Thompson's skin. In 2026 the album returns as a full remix / rework — same trip, sharper edge, rebuilt for the live floor.

Think of it as an alternative soundtrack to the film: not a note-for-note remake, but a parallel ride. If you grew up on Underworld, Massive Attack, The Prodigy, The Chemical Brothers, The Orb and Orbital, this is the wink — self-made tracks that waited decades to hit a real stage. Landjuweel, Burning Man, wherever the red shark goes next.

The Need (Mescaline)

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas — still hunting the American dream at 4:30 on a Sunday morning, where Vegas faces turn into caricatures and mescaline does the rest.

Thanks to Jason Quinn for mixing the hell out my tracks. Thanks to Speyeral (Soundwizard7) for her lyrics, graphixgoddess as the perfect narrator, Marloes Lupker for the beautiful album artwork, my kids for their energy and artwork for each track, my family, parents Andy and Lya and Elfi for her patience in letting me do what I needed to do.

balance

During 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

Everybody Nice

liked

Do 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

Bones

grief

If 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

down

Negative 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.

Rain

coping

The 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

love

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

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

Alzheimer's disease, also referred to simply as Alzheimer's, is a neurodegenerative disease that usually starts slowly and gradually worsens over time. The most common early symptom is difficulty in remembering recent events. Although the speed of progression can vary, the typical life expectancy following diagnosis is three to nine years.

Positive 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 live in 2026

Darkvoice is Mark Lupker from Amsterdam. Tagline: 90s dance DNA, self-made & finaly live!

He’s been making his own electronic music since the mid-90s. Own productions with a thick wink to Underworld, Massive Attack, Prodigy, the Chemical Brothers, Orb and Orbital — not copies, a dare. Happy and positive in life; drawn to dark sounds.

After his father died in 1997 he began producing voice-based music (from around 1998): voices as the main instrument, almost everything a recording of a voice, mostly his. After about four years of experimenting came the first CD, Images of the Subconscious. In 2004: Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas — an alternative soundtrack / homage, never an official film score. In 2006 he started work on Positive Buoyancy. A short DJ set at Freakshow Amsterdam in 2012 mixed old and new Darkvoice. Parenthood brought more gear and computer-generated sounds; the work stayed personal, with no fixed rules.

After roughly thirty years in the studio he now plays fully live: 100% original tracks, live vocals and custom visuals — not a DJ set of other people’s records, with analogue elements in the mix. Recent live: Landjuweel (Ruigoord) and Where the Sheep Sleep 2026; Underworld afterparties in Amsterdam 2019 & 2024.
