THIS is the sound of T.D.A. 🖤🔊

Hard Techno. Acid. Energy. No compromise.

A huge thank you to everyone who follows what I do, shows up to the events, shares the clips, likes the posts and listens to the sets on SoundCloud. It genuinely means a lot.
And if you haven’t checked them out yet, there’s plenty waiting for you — SoundCloud link in bio.

Also, a massive shout to the producers behind the tracks that bring that unmistakable ACID sound to my sets. You know who you are my friends. Your music is a huge part of what defines the T.D.A. sound.
More clips to come.
More sets to come.
More music incoming.
And a lot more ACID. 🖤

T.D.A. — The Dark Arch

2 HOURS. 146 BPM. PURE HARD ACID TECHNO. 🔥

My full 2-hour live set from The Tunnel Club, Birmingham, is NOW LIVE on SoundCloud! 🔊

Recorded on 25 September at MODUL8, sharing the decks with ASLØ and the legendary A*S*Y*S.

Relentless acid lines, driving basslines and two hours of uncompromising peak-time energy. No fillers. No holding back. Just HARD ACID TECHNO from start to finish. 🖤

The Dark Arch has just had a track signed to a major label within the hard-techno scene. 🔒

Massive congratulations to DJ Gym student Leigh Mackey, better known as @the_darkarch.

We can’t reveal the label, track title or release details just yet. As you can imagine, the label will want to make the official announcement properly—but this milestone was too good not to celebrate.

Leigh has completed all three of our DJ modules and is now nearing the end of his production training. He has put in the work, applied the knowledge and guidance, and continued developing a sound and identity of his own.

This is Leigh’s achievement, and it is thoroughly deserved. We’re simply proud that DJ Gym has been able to play a part in his journey.

For us, this is what teaching is all about: giving artists the skills, direction and support to turn their own ideas into genuine opportunities.

We’ll share the full details as soon as we’re allowed.

For now, show Leigh some love, and remember the name: The Dark Arch. 🖤

Still smiling after this one... 🖤

What an incredible night.

To everyone who packed out Tunnel Club from the very first track to the very last... thank you. The energy in that room was unreal and you made this one incredibly special.

This clip is my closing track: Track ID 'Time To Go - Dan Harrison'

I stepped away from my usual harder, acid-driven style for this set and took things in a slightly different direction. I absolutely loved every minute of it, and judging by the atmosphere on the dancefloor, you did too.

A huge thank you to everyone who came out to support me, IOA on his UK Debut, Marie Vaunt, and the whole MODUL8 team. Nights like these remind me exactly why I love doing this.

See you all again very soon. 🖤
