Milk + Lead Party 21.10.2011

This turned out to be a very long and exhilarating night with a great atmosphere in a doomed and shadowy temporary space. I was invited to mix a soundtrack for a ritual performance and started slowly before playing an intense ritual section with four tracks running simultaneously. After this things accelerated but I was asked to play for much longer than expected and ended up following my instincts, even dropping two Laibach tracks to great effect. Thanks again to Milk + Lead for the invitation.

Doctor Who and The Death Factory Mix on Ill FM 20.00 09/02/11

This special mix combines Brian Hodgson's dystopian/visionary Doctor Who soundtracks with industrial, contemporary classical and cold electronica. Many first-wave British industrial groups were exposed to Doctor Who and its radical soundtracks at a formative age and they can be seen as a precursor to the industrial sound, just as many Doctor Who storylines dealt with topics later explored by industrial (pollution, mutation, mind control, sonic terror, para-militarism and more). Listen live or on the archive at Ill FM...
