Dark-o-matic was started in 2017 by Greg Dovas who was later joined by vocalist Piero Delux. Enlisting the help of sound engineer and producer George Nerantzis, the duo started recording their music, best described as a cross between 80’s wave music and synthpop but with a darker edge to it. The CD version of the album features 4 bonus remixes by Unity One, Requiem4FM, People Theatre and Purple Fog Side.

Why we ask
Advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations we have not put up a paywall, and we refuse to add annoying advertising, so we need to ask for your help. Side-Line’s independent journalism takes time, money and hard work to produce, and we do it to push the artists we like, who are equally fighting to survive.

Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void.
