The Dharma Chain, formed in 2020 in Byron Bay and now based in Berlin, are known for delivering captivating live performances that blend ethereal and at times offensive guitars, reverb-soaked vocals, industrial undercurrents, and atmospheric synth textures. The band is recognized for their ethereal and at times offensive guitars, reverb-soaked vocals, and industrial undercurrents. They have toured extensively across Europe and Australia, appearing at festivals such as Fusion, Sharpe, and Yonder.
Their sound is ever-evolving, with roles constantly shifting between members, allowing multiple singers and guitarists to create a dynamic, unpredictable live experience. This fluid approach ensures that each performance feels like a new journey, built on the collaborative energy that drives their music.
In 2022, after relocating to Berlin, TDC signed with Anomic Records and released their debut studio album, NOWHERE, showcasing their unique sound.

Quotes:
“The driving rhythm section lifts the ethereal din of guitar swathes and reverbed vocals. Their music has that retro-futuristic 90s psych vibe, that revamped nostalgia line where the classic hazy drone is infused with RnR sex and sleaze. The show at Sharpe showed they deserve to be big players on the European psych scene”
— Under The Radar (USA)
“Berlin really comes through on this one, with a strong aggressive and industrial undercurrent to proceedings; all delivered with a healthy dose of fuzzy guitars, of course.”
— The AU Review (Australia)
“The song crescendos and the empty space are filled in with driving drums and fuzzy guitar noise the characters awaken from their daze and flee from the spectre, ultimately uniting and thus escaping their isolation. An impressive metaphor in which sound and visual elements are in perfect harmony giving an outstanding result that demonstrates the savoir-faire of The Dharma Chain.”
— Metal Magazine (Spain)
“It’s a serene nod to shoegaze and fever dreams, and draws sonic inspiration from the masters, such as Ride and Slowdive. Succumb to the wall of sound and drown in the fluttering harmonic delays.”
— Psychedelic Baby Magazine (Slovenia)
𝐆𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐏𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐬
Formed in 2019, the London based band Ghost Patterns garnered attention across the shoegaze, psych and post-punk scenes, sharing stages with Helicon, Cult Of Dom Keller, Mayflower Madame, The Third Sound, Dead Rabbits, You Said Strange, Firefriend, Daiistar, Magic Shoppe, Tremours, Ceremony East Coast and most recently with New Candys.
Elements of their influences can be traced back to late 60's psychedelia, the independent post-punk scene, through to the shoegazing era of the early 90's. Expect swathes of layered guitars, icy synth textures washed in reverb, juxtaposed with pounding bass lines and abrasive drums to round off the sonic palette.

Quotes:
‘Though influenced by shoegaze and post-punk, it is psychedelia that dominates this melting pot of sound. There are heavy drones, fuzz and distortion as synths play against guitars and any melodies have to battle simply to survive.’
- Isolation Records (UK)
‘The noise-scape quality is akin to the early years of Ride or The Jesus And Mary Chain, of whom both have used wonderful melodies wrapped in sonic walls of noise.’
- Onyx Music Reviews (AUS)
'...A heady dark and immersive blend of shoegaze atmospheric introspection, post-punk moodiness and subtle lysergic nuances.’
- 'Disappears' Single reviews White Light/ White Heat (IT)
