We kicked this show off with some brand new post-punk, synthpunk, etc. tracks. The second set was mostly new industrial tracks, including what was going to be an exclusive premier of a new Zwaremachine track, but alas, didn’t happen because of a recent illness. (And RIP Zwaremachine’s Dein Offizier.) The third block of the show was a set of synthpop-leaning songs. The fourth set was goth, deathrock, and post-punk songs. The fifth block saw us revisit the set of songs followed by a band/artist who named themselves after the previous one. And we wrapped up the show with some ambient, etc.

Episode 230: 8/20/2023
We started this show with some new industrial and synthwave tracks. We followed that with a set themed around heatwaves and summertime, because we’ve been broiled under a heatwave recently. The three sets that after that featured songs which were followed by an aritst who took their name from the previous song. Then we wound things down with experimental and ambient tracks.
