Industrial.DJ

WomP. It's just some of what's been on my playlists. This string of tunes in a set, recorded just for you has a bunch of new stuff some not as new stuff and recent discoveries thanks to artists who hit me up and jam it in my ears. You'll hear some Monody and they're on their way back! The Ravers Moreland will certainly make your ears perk up. The latest DISSONANCE, Imperative Reaction and a Shoutout to Slighter! Based on the name I didn't expect to be playing the "Dub Club Mix" but "Complicit" is a great track!

Already 10 days into the month, so I started playing some tunes, hit record and give you, Cerebral Wasteland! Plus a couple bonus tracks I felt like playing while I still had juice in the batteries to record!

It was late, at night, and it was a mix. So, Late Night Mix. Take particular note of the Vexillary & chris randall. Lots of talent there.

Woke up with a Chris Randall tune in my head, in the mood for some android lust. Had my trusty Denon Prime Go handy, so I just played music. This Experimental + Industrial, Electronic set plays with a lot of great tunes in a rather narrow set of keys and crosses 2 tempos. There’s also some Slighter, Hexer & Myer, Interface, Ben Arp, Individual Totem, Gridlock, Synnack, d.compose, Dismantled, Noise Unit, Nevada Hardware and Cellmod. Enjoy!

Not really the usual style, once I got rolling on this one I realized that what I really needed to do was to make time for 2 or 3 sets of different styles. Consider this a sampler of mostly very new stuff. Special thanks to TERMINAL who’s new release “Blacken the Skies” is extremely cool. Check it out all the usual download shops & coming to CD soon! (terminalnoise.com) While we’re here, Monody will back soon after ~11 years - Stay tuned! +Shoutout to: Null Cell, SINthetik Messiah, Imperative Reaction, Neurobash, Cold Divide, and Post Death Soundtrack who all are very busy releasing great music you can look forward to hearing here soon!+

It's EBM. It's dark. It's not so crunchy. It's packed with good tunes and they're layered together to paint a picture, just for you. Dig in, stomp on. Hopeful New Year everyone! Be good to each other. Hope you enjoy!

Listening to music. Yet again it turns into a set somehow. Lots of Industrial & EBM goodness. Merry Christmas or whatever winter holiday it is you weirdos are into. :-)

Dumb name, sure, but you’ll get why it sort of fit. Slowing down the BPM a little keeping us around 81.

Just something different, playing some tunes. Very electronic, almost ambient at times. Enjoy!

So, to be fair I should mention, I will have to get used to this machine. There are a couple of spots you'll know... Didn't come out like they should have and it just didn't record (internally) loud enough. But now that I've done a test run, I know how to baby the knobs & will remember to crank the gain. :·D Great tunes though, hopefully you'll enjoy!

This show was 2nd in the global noise chart, 7th in the global industrial chart and 22nd in the global electronic chart. I'm not sure what happened. So don't let the first song fool you. Don't turn it up too loud, it could cause fatigue and/or contribute to hearing damage. When I get things hooked up to a computer I'll grab the playlist from the history & update this post. Enjoy.... ....OR DONT!!!

This was some good dancy & thumpy hotness. I had something in mind, it de-railed a couple of times just having fun with it. Delerium & Covenant, Front Line Assembly, Accessory & Basszilla. Soman, Authentic Impulse, Project Pitchfork, Absurd Minds, Spahn Ranch, Decoded Feedback, Seabound... Just put it on, turn it up loud and try not to knock anything over with all your flailing!

Had to play some old-timey classics. Sharing in case anyone else gets in the mood. Tears for Fears, Depeche Mode, New Order, The Cure, Adam Ant... You know how it goes.

Post Halloween spooks. Just something I slapped together while in the mood. There may be a surprise or two involved.

Here’s about 2 hours of dark, even spooky, murderous and monstrous tunes. Featuring new goodies like “Big Scary Monsters” by Cellmod and MemeBrane’s “Mass Shadow Generator” plus classics by Danny Elfman (of Oingo Boingo), Tom Waits, Nick Cave... Play it loud, enjoy, try not to eat ALL the treats.

Some Halloween tunes and something new from TERMINAL!

Hit the decks for a few today and slapped this lil’ guy together, why not post it? Going gothy in that synthpoppy kind of way with a little bit of EBM. Enjoy “The Mission”, “Bauhaus”, “Boy Harsher”, “Gary Numan”, “She Wants Revenge” and more. 💀

Found a moment of free time today to play with some music. No plan. Just good tunes in a mix that should keep your foot tapping for an hour. Cesium_137, Seabound, A Spell Inside, Bow Ever Down, Seize, Fix8:Sed8, Pegasus Asteroid and a lot more. Enjoy!

We start off a little mellow with an instrumental, and on through an hour of great EBM tunes finishing up with some Cellmod + Distraub, because they rock.

Are you mad as hell and not going to take it anymore? An unusual Combichrist starter that I’ve mangled all to hell. VNV Nation, APB, Dismantled... Even Neuroticfish, X-RX and... Juno Reactor? Can you listen without standing up, opening your window, sticking your head out and yelling?! “I’m a human being goddamnit! My life has value!” Whether you do any yelling or not; I just want you to turn the volume up loud and enjoy the tunes; and be kind to each other.

Racing back & forth through the timeline of great dark music. This was a fun one to spin. I have a feeling though that not everyone will recognize some of these gems. TURN IT UP LOUD!

I was asked to put together something with New Wave, Darkwave, maybe even some EBM... For that dark classic feel. At least that was what I got from the messages but they were translated, and... I dunno, they didn’t bother to respond after that. So I figured I’d post it here. This was mostly mixed kinda radio style. Great tunes though! Hope you enjoy!

This set comes from a small part the long list of artists who’s work is consistently very creative and incredibly catchy. PATENBRIGADE: WOLFF, Pig, Vexillary, XMTP, Cellmod, Dismantled and NeuroWulf in particular, with Vexillary being only recently discovered by me. Very cool stuff. This set was played, came out very pleasant IMO, and ... I had to go back and do it again so I could record and post it. Somehow I never get things nailed as well on a do-over - but I thought this was still a keeper. Hopefully you will to.

Recorded this one yesterday. I was sort of taking it easy & played some tunes. Almost kind of a ‘chill’ set, sorta creatively mixed but subtly so. Being that I was just taking it easy this one did record a little quieter than I had expected. But if I re-record it won’t come out the same and I don’t want to edit it to try and make it louder at the probable risk of sound quality. This one’s fun. Wack it in or get it on your playlist, might make for a good mood setting on Sunday. (PSA: Always re-cal your gain structure before every set & stick with your gut)

This was spontaneous and turned out to be good timing as today was the 22nd anniversary of the release of Fear Factory’s “Obsolete” back in 1998. It sort of feels like it was a landmark in the evolution of music into the coming years. There’s finally a track from the new Static-X “Project: Regeneration Vol. 1” and new tunes from Stykfaktor, Thrillsville, OST+Front, plus Provision and some other great tunes to bring it all together. Which isn’t to say this isn’t an eccentric and odd set. But it was fun and I hope you’ll enjoy it!

This one is difficult to tag, difficult to describe. Best just to listen. There’s brand new Vexillary and a couple of 90s classics by Spahn Ranch and Individual Totem. ESA, I Ya Toyah, Nerve Filter, Implant Rotersand, and Detroit Diesel among others. Kick back and TURN IT UP LOUD!

I walked into the office today thinking I wouldn't be up for another set yet. Then I just kinda had that itch. So I turned on the DAC, hit record, played some tunes. I just played what I felt as I went along. At a few points there was a rush to find that next track, but I think it came out pretty well. What do you think? If you do like it, consider telling a friend and/or checking this out: https://patreon.com/industrialdj Have a great week!

This set is sort of a mashup of songs itching to get played. With an intro stolen from most people’s favorite astrophysicist and the first song is by Dissonance, in which you’ll hear the sound of Information Society. They have a new Maxi-Single just released called “Precipice”, look for it!

A roller-coaster through great new releases and classics. Featuring the great new release "Once Upon a Second Act" by System Syn, Dead Agent and something from the new APB album "Nein Danke!". Enjoy!

From the about to be released Runy05H17, by Seraphim System to 1991's Neurobashing by Front 242 and wrapped up with the very cool, "Too Little (Rotoskop's Dazer Mix)" by RROYCE; I think there are a lot of great tunes here you'll love! This was originally intended as a practice set just to get a break from things and enjoy myself. Almost turned out exactly how I wanted though. I have to apologize though for trying to multitask and letting things go horribly wrong for the transition around 37m in. Otherwise, all of the strange noises and trippy changes are right there in the original tunes. Have fun!

What I probably mean is more like "Techno Started" as this set could have easily been a chilled trip through some various darker techno styles. Instead it takes a dark turn for hard hitting electro industrial and doesn't let up. From Halaros & Juno Reactor to Psy'aviah, Noisuf-X & Soman. Enjoy.

Jumped online to play whatever fun stuff came to mind. Artists like STAHLSCHLAG, Aesthetische, Front Line Assembly, The Gothsicles, Feindflug, Detroit Diesel, Decoded Feedback, X-Marks the Pedwalk, Surgyn, Project Pitchfork, Covenant and more... Enjoy!

Here's another big swath ripped out of the field of music that hopefully most of us riverheads enjoy. From gothy to synthy like the Depeche Mode starter, with lots of electronics, and harsh to wtf and extra dark, like the Velvet Acid Christ finisher.

Fun stuff & featuring a great cover of Depeche Mode's "It's no good" by I Ya Toyah and a fun Nitzer Ebb Parody. Some VNV Nation, Rhys Fulber, FLA, Ivory Frequency, Ayria, De/Vision, Evil's Toy, Accessory & more. Enjoy!

Cognitive Dissonance: The state of having inconsistent thoughts, beliefs, or attitudes, especially as relating to behavioral decisions and attitude change. Where two or more contradictory beliefs, ideas, or values, or participation in actions that go against one of these three, results in psychological stress. It sounds better than it reads. Just play it loud.

Bunch of great stuff including Spahn Ranch, Project Pitchfork, Analogue Brain & more...

Industrial music lovers: The latest Industrial.DJ Episode is here! Featuring three pretty sweet new/newish tunes by, Ben Arp, Shadow Fashion, The Fair Attempts, KMFDM, Lords of Acid from out of the blue and more. Another stomp through 29 years of great music potpourri, hope you enjoy. This is the first set out since joining the Shadow Makers program. A shoutout to the other makers and Shadow team that make it a big group of very cool people. Stay safe, stay healthy, be kind to each other, TURN IT UP LOUD!

A relentless hour of nothing but electronic music selected and mixed on the fly with great care, just for you. Featured artist: I Ya Toyah with a track from the new "Code Blue Reloaded" which is a great pickup you can find on Bandcamp. Set also includes Code 64, Funker Vogt, APB, Negative Format, FLA, Binary Park, Fractured, Coreline, Covenant, Ayria, Culture Kultür... Enjoy!

I just suddenly got the urge, stood up, recorded a set, just poking around for music I might feel like hearing. I hit record & this happened. Futurepop & maybe somewhat leaning toward synthpop tunes. VNV Nation, Covenant, SD6, Angels & Agony, Dupont, Alpha Point, Melotron... Hints of Funker Vogt... Enjoy!

Hopefully you'll enjoy this dancy, thumpy, stumpy hour plus, including a track from the latest Funker Vogt release. We should start a game. Spot the "Distracted DJ Fuckups" - The 2 or 3 here are obvious, but it was a busy day!

You know me. Wacky but with great tunes. I was listening for tunes to make a set with but, ended up just hitting record and doing this. I'd like to have had a do-over to change a couple things that slipped... But it's great songs from 1999 to 2020. I submit for your approval, FUBAR!

You'll surely notice there are luls in volume and some crazy peaks. This set is a crazy ride through mellow, brutal and brooding. I didn't want to mess with the songs even to bring their levels up & down into the same area. They're just as they are in my collection new & old. Hope you enjoy!

It's all in the set list.

This is an ADHD ride through acts like De/vision, Industriegebiet, VAC, Sero.Overdose, SAM, Epsilon Minus, Glis, Northborne, Aesthetische, Funker Vogt, that I enjoyed listening to, together. I didn't plan on keeping this one so I didn't record it purposefully. I guess the quality turned out ok though! So what the heck, I'm sharing with you. Hope you like it. If you do, let me know or let your friends know? If you hate it, tell me that to. I'll try to suck less. ;-)

I was just playing tunes, decided to record it just in case. I like it. Found my mood & stride by the end but had to end there.

As you probably know, February 24th is EBM Day, so here's some EBM for ya!

Some stuff I was listening to, figured I'd share. I had to find an additional song to bring it up to an hour in length and that last second scramble actually made me stammer a bit. Otherwise, you might enjoy this weirdness.

Turn it up loud & enjoy!

The first live recording of this set had a technical issue. So later on, I did a do over. This version came out pretty good and has 5 bonus tracks because once I get started it's hard to stop. Though I still have a hardware issue to track down. Anyway, there's some awesome tunes in this set, the first of 2020. I hope you enjoy it!

Where were you back in 1993? Inspired by a 93' compilation titled "Rivet Head Culture" this set largely draws back to that classic sound we know and love for an hour of stompy goodness. HAPPY NEW YEAR! Here's to a 2020 full of amazing music!

A very electronic trip that sounds light at first and then digs deep into some great old gems of classic industrial and EBM.
