Dark Hamill

El Tato What a great mix of tunes. From deep bassy bangers to squelchy synthgoodness.

The album is quite long, so you get your money's worth and quite honestly, its very very easy to listen to. Didn't skip a track, and had to check I was listening to the same album a couple of times...

Fab, do yourself a favour and grab a listen. Favorite track: Program Initialize.

Necrocius A rich compilation of "new retro" that stands out from the overwhelming volume of similar projects in bandcamp due to its crisp sound and EBM dna! "Brain Exit" is playing on repeat about half and hour now and I don't intend to turn it off soon! Favorite track: Brain Exit.

about

Dark Hamill was first meant to be my alter-ego, but then I realized that doing that is just kind of lame, so I decided to release it under my always-name, brian botkiller. Usually, I make protest electro and minimal techno. This record is a New Retro Wave album, inspired by the likes of Com Truise (yeah, the name of the record is inspired by him), Magic Sword, Ladyhawke, Gunship, and the like. I wrote these songs in 2014, originally, but never really released them. I wrote them as part of a project called Weekly Beats, wherein I write and release a song every week on even-numbered years. I've done this three times now, and I'm on my 4th run of it. I have released this music on Bandcamp, as well -- so I have albums with 52 songs on them on Bandcamp.
I like this record because it fits a vibe that I was really into when writing the music, I think it's fun, and I think it also sounds different than a lot of the New Retro that's out there.

Event Horizon: Elegies from Singularities
by Simon Slator

Both tracks seem to capture the feel of classic space science fiction movies, albeit A bit differently. The first feels a bit darker, more foreboding. It feels as though someone got a view of this intense even and what having extreme difficulty processing what they were seeing. The next track lightens up and presents more of a feeling of pure wonder as the synts become a bit lighter and less intense. Fringes of Sound
