Halo Darka bio:
Halo Darka is Christian Löffler, was born in Bensheim, Germany and lived in Portugal until the age of 26. Music soon started to be a presence in his life and that's got reflected in his way and behaviour along the time. There was always a sound, more or less organic, classic, alternative, world music or, of course, electronic, pumping, groovey, acid, techy, underground! He believes that always existed and will exist a soundtrack for each and every moment of our lives! Now, driven by ambition and with new projects in mind, at the end of 2008 moved back to his native land.
Portugal, homeland of The Underground Sound of Lisbon, worldwide top DJs as DJ Vibe, Carlos Manaca, Zé Miguel, Frank Maurel, Pete Tha Zouk, just to name a few, is also one of the great poles where Iberican Sound comes from, and a worldwide referenced club scene. From North to South, a place with awsome party people, awsome clubs with awsome soundsystems. This has been Halo Darka's Stage and where he has recently celebrated Seven Years DeeJaying.
Fresh Fruit - name to a promo released by Dance Club Magazine, mixed by Carlos Manaca, got him influenced, and made him fan. In such a way that from then, he started for good on his quest. Selected and mixed several promos, as "Drums'n'Passion", "This is a Mix by Halo Darka for Dance Club", "Halo Darka", "Route to Lisbon", "AfterHours - mixed live by Halo Darka", and most recently the last session in Portugal "Halo Darka - UnderGround!". Also reworked one of the top tech-house anthems of ever, from A.Paul - Da Funk (Unreleased Halo Darka Rework). All mixes that brought him the deserved support, respect and recognition which made him reach where he is today.
In Lisbon was resident in clubs such as Amo-te Chiado and Amo-te Tejo. Accross the country he's joined severeal clubs, as Casa do Cais in Peniche, where he was one of the residents for six months and where he shared the decks with some of the Greatest Portuguese Scene DJs, as Diego Miranda, Mark Voxx, Peter Look, Rod Da Phunk. In the mean time, as a free lancer, kept on performing in many other clubs, from Lisbon to Oporto.
Driven by emotion, as well as eclecticism, the Underground has been his path and scene in all means, since the very first moment. The name Halo Darka itself referes to that, defining underground dark circle. In addition, his Charisma, Image and contagious Great Humor, hardly let the people indifferent, as he, while in the booth, is constantly pushing up, twisting, dancing, and shaking the crowd and with the crowd, making each of his sessions a memorable party.
Now and then, a night fan, and unlike those who rule by the catch "Carpe Diem", he smiles and says to prefere "Carpe Noctem." The night, the music, the rhythm, the bass, the groove, the lights, the bodies, the party. In his sessions we get into a trip without destination set, but always aspiring to go a little further.
Strongly found of doing things with and for the Passion, always carried this Ideal and got his catch well known - Passion Is Not Fashion! - No matter what, when, where or with who, everything we do, shall it be always with passion and for the passion only! Not just because it's a cool thing to do, a Fashion Job, or because it might bring us fame, glory or fortune! DJ is just not an easy way to get layed!
Always supported by The Best and Greatest Friends, to whom Halo Darka dedicates all of his successes, he is thankful to all of them as well as to all of those others who have showed sincere respect and appreciation for his work and struggle.
