About D*Time
D*Time is the ambient electronic solo project of Mark Scheper and was founded in Groningen (The Netherlands) in 1997. Scheper had already worked under the Dreamtime name before Neon Records showed interest in his music for a dance compilation. The project name was shortened to D*Time.
“Circles Of Mania” appeared in 1998 through Neon Records, a vinyl compilation with Solar Project, Celtic, D*Time and O-Cyanic. It included two D*Time tracks: “Cremation Of The Planets” and “Elephants Grave Dance”.
Later releases include “Wings” in 1998, “Image” in 1999, “Ghost” in 2000, “Organic Link Material” in 2001, “Insekt” in 2002, “Down and Out” in 2003, “Stinken und Starben” in 2005, “Spider” in 2006, “Centerpoint” in 2007 and “In The End There Is No CTRL-Z” in 2008.
After 2008, Scheper moved further toward direct online distribution while Synth Music Direct issued a CD selection of later material as “Dream Walker” in 2021. Cyclical Dreams later released “Shadows of Time” in 2025 and now “Nightwoven” in 2026.
