synthetix.fm Damokles really became a part of the extended family of Synthetix in 2015 and I found it an honour to be able to share in his music, myself, but it gave me great joy to see his music so accepted and loved in the wider audience of synthwave fans. Damokles' album Ozone Surfing is characterised by true and sharp 80s synth hooks that are forged in equal fires of synth pop and electro. The Damokles sound is vital and crafted spectacularly well but he never loses that sense of fun, which makes his synthscape especially and truly 80s in tone and colour. The album covers many of his singles released throughout 2015 as well as some extra surprises to keep the album fresh. Since Damokles has been writing this music since the 80s themselves one would expect an accurate and honest experience and this album delivers this beautifully and articulately while still keeping some elements of modern sounds weaved within. There are superbly honed trademarks in Damokles' arrangements and melodies and that personality gives such an endearing and individualised accent to all his music that it just feels innate and effortless. Well, that's what decades of hard work will get you!
