Brain Kill

Brain Killer

**** IN ELECTRONIC MUSIC WE TRUST ****

Chris Bernhard creates driving, hypnotic, and emotionally resonant electronic music. His signature style - Dark Melodic Minimal - is the result of years of evolution, sparked by his first rave experience and shaped by early productions on the MC-505 and Virus Indigo.

Following releases on labels such as DTL-Records, Dark Crow Records, and the acclaimed Tour de Traum compilation series, Chris now prefers to release his music independently - direct, uncompromising, and personal. His tracks are crafted in his own studio: stripped-down, intentional, and full of atmosphere.

You can catch him live on DigitalXRadio Frankfurt, Profoundradio.com, and at afterwork events, where he performs extended 3-hour sets made up entirely of his own productions.

Based in Heppenheim, near Frankfurt am Main, Chris delivers electronic music with depth - minimal, melodic, and unmistakably his own.

All tracks are free from AI-generated parts!
