Doug Loch isn’t pulling any punches with Dark Storm—and we’re here for it.
The Sydney-based Scottish producer’s latest cut is a festival-primed, emotionally-charged banger that’s as heavy on texture as it is on tension. Think soaring chord work, razor-sharp arps, and a low-end pulse built for big systems and dark rooms.
Written on the fly during a late-night Liveschool class, the track’s central motif—a dramatic minor-to-major swing—gives it a melancholic warmth that’s rare in this corner of melodic techno. It’s the kind of riff that stays with you, made all the more powerful by the real-world detail of a field-recorded wave crashing into the build-up. Pure heads-down euphoria.
The cherry on top? A club-ready remix by Australian legend Danny Bonnici, already getting airtime from Hernan Cattaneo in front of massive crowds. With gigs lined up across the UK and a People Like Us room takeover in Sydney this November, Loch is clearly on the up.
If Dark Storm is any indication, you’ll be hearing a lot more of him on the international circuit—and soon.
