Darko Esser

Darko Esser is a Dutch DJ and producer from Nijmegen, Netherlands, who began releasing music in 2010. He operates under the aliases Onionboy and Tripeo, and serves as one of the founders of Wolfskuil Records. Esser has maintained consistent output over more than a decade, with his most recent release appearing in December 2023.

His productions span techno and tech house territories, with releases on Wolfskuil Records and a.r.t.less demonstrating his range across peak time driving techno, raw deep hypnotic techno, tech house, and deep house. Esser's sound encompasses both the harder edge of driving techno suitable for peak hours and the more introspective depths of hypnotic techno and deep house. His work on Wolfskuil Records, the label he co-founded, has allowed him to develop his artistic vision across multiple electronic music genres while maintaining the driving energy that characterizes his techno output.
