DESCRIPTION
Melodic, Ambient, Breaky, Harsh, Calming.... all these words describe brian botkiller.
brian botkiller consists of one member: brian botkiller, electronic producer and creator. Combining simple yet driving drums with melodic synths and the occasional sample, brian botkiller "Aims to create a sense of music within multiple layers of effects and melody. And it works. Pork Tartare, [porktartare.com]
botkillers music is simple, but in that simplicity he allows the listener to enjoy the music and the environment it creates. His music is just what you want if you're looking for something to dance to, chill to or drive to. His sound is also original - something hard to find in a lot of electronic these days.
Most important to botkiller are his fans and those that listen to his music. He spends just as much time talking to people after shows as he does playing them, and he hopes that everyone had a good time.
Come have a listen, hopefully, you'll have a good time as well. |

HISTORY
I've been programming and playing in bands for about 10 years now. Music is really all I want to do with my life. I have other aspirations, but none more powerful than to make music that evokes emotions in those that listen to it. I want to make music that is fun to dance to, listen to, chill to, anything. I just like to know that people are listening. |

REVIEWS
"Mixing deep tribal beats with inorganic blips and beeps, brian botkiller aims to create a sense of music within multiple layers of effects and melody. And it works. Hailing from the digital world of New Mexico (Sure, maybe not as big as Detroit's house scene and all but...), botkiller fills the space needed to keep dance floors happy while aiming to fill the space in your brain with open thought. Lots of good stuff here and one of our favorites; we imagined a lot of the tracks for sultry movies...and no, not the ones starring Mandy Moore. Keep your ear to the ground for this one."
