Fresh and local: 20SIX Hundred

    1 of 1 2 of 1

      To his credit, Darren Jones (the man behind 20SIX Hundred) makes no attempt to obscure his influences. This collection of soundtrack pieces from imaginary movies suggests that Jones’s record collection is filled with synth-heavy ’70s and ’80s film scores by the likes of Goblin, Vangelis, and John Carpenter. (A previous 20SIX Hundred project was scoring the 2012 fan flick Halloween: Resurgence, which Jones also wrote, directed, edited, produced, and acted in.) This all definitely sounds like the product of another era. Then again, given the acclaim for It Follows and its distinctly Carpenter-esque score by Disasterpeace, it also seems totally contemporary.
