Alk-e-d is the name for Darren Maycock, a breakbeat hardcore DJ and producer known for his work on Kniteforce Records and latterly KFA.

He was friends with Kniteforce Records owner Luna-C before the start of the label and even before Luna-C's group Smart E's was formed. He was one of the first artists on the label and is very much considered part of the "Kniteforce crew", still producing music for KFA, Luna-C's current label which was born in 2001. His style of breakbeat hardcore, often around the 160-170bpm mark favours ragga vocal samples, scratching and aggressive bass lines, as well as incorporating elements of darker techno like Joey Beltram.

He is part of the gabba act Toxic Avengers on Malice Records and also produced Monster #1 with Luna-C.
