New Kind Of Cross

Crime Lights

Buzz Kull is the solo project of Sydney-based musician and producer Marc Dwyer.

Since 2012 Buzz Kull has been blending elements of darkwave, EBM, and synth-pop into a sound that’s dark, dissonant and danceable. 

His early work, including his 2017 debut Chroma and 2018’s New Kind of Cross, was defined by stripped-back production and a fascination with minimal synth textures. These records drew from early industrial and post-punk traditions, pairing drum machine-led tracks with cool, monotonous vocals and moody atmospherics. 

Over time, Dwyer’s sound has grown harder and more precise. His 2022 album Fascination, released through Italian label Avant! Records, marked a turning point — a sleek, focused collection of dark dance tracks that channel the energy of late-’80s body music. 

Outside of Buzz Kull, Dwyer is a frequent collaborator and remixer, collaborating with artists across the darker ends of electronic music. 

He has toured extensively throughout Europe, the US, LATAM and Asia, sharing stages with contemporaries like Cold Cave, Boy Harsher, Kontravoid and Spike Hellis.
