Creator of the Lost Terminal podcast and writer of synthwave, Namtao is the stage name of Tristram Oaten, a producer and coder based in London.

Dead Shopping Malls creates atmospheric music that blurs the lines between chillwave, vaporwave, and dream pop. With nostalgic and ambient soundscapes, the project evokes vivid memories of childhood, faded VHS tapes, and the hazy glow of old home videos. Each track invites listeners to revisit a dreamlike past, where time feels beautifully out of reach.
