Darren Beale, better known as dubspeeka or Decoder, is a name that has long been associated with impeccable production and dark atmospheres. Before diving into the world of techno, he left a colorful mark on the drum ‘n’ bass scene as part of the Kosheen project. This experience is reflected in his approach to making music: attention to detail, emotional depth and a powerful sound.
Now dubspeeka stands at the forefront of deep and hypnotic techno. His new track “Mod 3”, released in partnership with Len Faki and Hardspace, further confirms Beale’s reputation as a master who knows how to build a dark but mesmerizing sound.

The mix is made on a high level. Balance between frequencies is perfect for club sound. Bass is heavy, but it doesn’t drown out other elements. There are no vocal samples, which is logical for this style – the track is based solely on the power of the instrumental.
In terms of novelty, “Mod 3” doesn’t offer anything revolutionary. It’s a proven formula that works on dancefloors. However, that’s not a minus. The track is a functional tool for the DJ. It will suit both for building a set and for the peak of the night, especially in small clubs with good acoustics.
“Mod 3” is a prime example of quality Deep / Hypnotic Techno. Darren Beale, Len Faki and Hardspace have made a work that sounds fresh despite the use of standard techno techniques. The main strength of the track is its ability to hold the listener’s attention without unnecessary embellishments. This is a track for those who appreciate depth and atmosphere in music.
