Apoxode (Darren Hembd) is an experimental producer, beatmaker, and remixer on ccMixter and mixter.plus. Active since 2018, he is known for atmospheric, film-ready electronic compositions and a prolific output of sample packs and instrumental tracks that fuel the remix community.
Background
Outside of music, Apoxode is also a one-page story writer and playwright (specializing in 10-minute plays), which he documents on his Substack. On ccMixter, he describes himself as "always learning" — an ethos reflected in his wide-ranging sonic experiments.
He was featured on the ccMixter "Amplifiers" compilation album (2018) with the politically-themed track "Belly of the Biased Beast (Apoxode Mix)" featuring Kara_Square, Panu, and Onlymeith.
Musical Style
Apoxode's sound draws from lo-fi, chill, downtempo, and experimental electronic traditions. His catalog includes:
- Atmospheric instrumentals — ambient textures and rhythmic electronic beats
- Sample packs — drumloops, ambiloops, and sound kits for the community
- Film/sync-ready compositions — heavily tagged as music for film
- Jazzy and rave-influenced productions — blending organic percussion with electronic textures
