His contemporary Detroit-influenced tracks have appeared on Curle Recordings, Ovum and his own Wolfskuil imprint, with his recent debut album 'Balans' showcasing the versatility of the young Dutch producer.

The Maxi-Single Clean Slate
was reviewed:
Not that Darko Esser's slate needed cleaning to begin with, but this is certainly one of his finest productions to date. A complex snare-driven Detroit techno groove offsets 'Clean Slate's simple dub chord pattern to great effect, and remixes come from DVS1 (Transmat, Klockwerks) and Lucy. Highly recommended.
