MUMBAI: With Halloween quickly approaching, it is certainly the season for all things spooky in the music world and beyond. While NGHTMRE generally holds down an ominous aesthetic with his melodic driven bass music, his newest release The Killer features his long time friends and past roommates, Bret James and RNSOM, who take this track to the next level. The three artists co produced the track together before Bret James blessed the instrumental with his menacing lyrics and haunting vocals, pleading I’m not the killer, in such an anguished fashion that we’re almost convinced. The Killer quickly gears up with sinister bass lines and goose bump inducing, mechanical synths reminiscent of chainsaws. Like its namesake, this is one track that simply seems made for the apex of a horror movie. Given that NGHTMRE is in the midst of his Nightmare Before Xmas tour and will be making appearances at spooky fests this month Voodoo, Escape, and Something Wicked, The Killer is bound to be in frequent circulation.
The Los Angeles based producer has had a busy 2017 thus far, complementing several successful track releases with outstanding live performances. He recently released On the Run featuring PASSEPORT, teamed up with Ghastly for End of the Night, put his own spin on Fat Joe’s classic hit Lean Back as well remixed DJ Snake’s recent Here Comes the Night. NGHTMRE’s packed tour schedule included Lollapalooza, Coachella, EDC Las Vegas, and his own Good Vibrations Festival in Southern California with Slander. In addition to dozens of US dates the NGHTMRE before Xmas tour takes him to Bangkok, Tokyo, Las Vegas, Amsterdam and more this fall and winter.
