FortDax was a recording alias of Darren Richard Durham, a composer active in the early 2000s. He was inspired by artists such as Charles Ives and ABBA[1] and he has described FortDax as 'Michael Nyman trapped upside down in a clockwork palace during a snowstorm'.[2] He is most well known for his remix of You Are Here when it became the theme tune of Newswipe with Charlie Brooker and Charlie Brooker's Weekly Wipe. After five years of working under the pseudonym FortDax, Darren announced that he was feeling boxed in by what was expected from FortDax and that it was time to try something new. Darren has recently started creating some new music under the moniker of Diverse Industries.[3]
