Biography

The artist name Decoder is used by at least two acts:
1. A post hardcore band from the United States
2. A drum and bass producer from the United Kingdom

1. Decoder is a band formed by former members of 3 most prominent Floridian post-hardcore bands. It includes VersaEmerge’s original lead singer (left after recording the “Cities Built On Sand” EP), Spencer Pearson, Oceana’s original vocalist Keith Jones and guitarist Jack Burns together with now defunct Of Machines drummer Brent Guistwite and Bryce Sipes.

The band has finished recording their self-titled debut which they recorded with Matt Malpass at Marigolds & Monsters Studio in Atlanta, Georgia. The album is set for a January 18th release and the band is scheduled to make their first national tour in February.

2. Darren “Decoder” Beale is a musician, DJ and producer from bristol (UK) and part of the group Kosheen, alongside fellow DJ Markee “Substance” Morrisson and vocalist and songwriter Sian Evans. Both DJ’s have shared great success both with Kosheen and as solo DJ’s/Artists.

Beale started his career in 1991 using various aliases producing oldschool hardcore tracks such as “4 AM” which was one of the anthems of 1992. He continued fine tuning the deep jungle sound under the Orca and Koda aliases on Lucky Spin Records and its sister label, Deejay Recordings, releasing “Tranquility to Earth” in 1994.

    I'm kind of sad Lead Hands never took off. Not too big on post-hardcore anymore, but their self-titled is one of my favorite debuts of all time. Definitely a great album and a breath of fresh air into a genre that has more or less stagnated for several years now.

    Dreamwalker engenders this curious and pleasing emotional intensity within me. It's been playing within my mind so much lately. To me, it's one of the best songs ever composed in the Genre. One of the most retarded fucking things I've ever read. Stop doing this.

    Has anyone else noticed how much Keith sounds like Chuck Ragan of Hot Water Music when he's singing? It's ridiculous!

    my ignorance is bliss, in this particular case :D but I looove "headlock" from the dnb-producer on dieselboy's soldier's story-mix. it's often mistaken for the tune "deception" by tech itch because of a wrong label on the 12 inch. his tunes are unquestionable the opposite of awful @lifeanthem ; )

    It really sucks this band pretty much called it quits, old Oceana and old VersaEmerge are some of my favorite post-hardcore bands. I'd be so glad if this band came back and let the past be the past.
