Found a reissue for something like four dollars. far and away most known for ‘It’s a New Day’—the opening drums are one of the most sampled in all of soul music. But, the whole record is

I produce and host a radio show called Electrique Boutique, which plays minimal synth, cold wave, dark wave, post punk, diy/private press electronic music, and anything else that fits the vibe. If you’re into Kraftwerk, Closer by Joy Divison, Cold Cave, Molchat Doma, Black Marble… your stripped down, lo-fi electronic music, then maybe give it a listen! It airs every other Friday 6-8 PM PST on 104.9 KHUH Hollow Earth Radio in Seattle, but all of my episodes are archived on my website (in the link).
At its best, it rivals the golden years of The Simpsons in my book, and that’s about the highest praise I can give a show. So so funny and creative, relentlessly bleak, and a relatable love of 80s alternative culture.
If you’re in the Seattle area, I’m hosting an 80s dance party at The Black Lodge on June 26th! Masks are required and we will have air filters going. Expect a Paradise Garage/Larry Levan-esque vibe, with disco, house, electro, new wave, leftfield, and other hi-energy gems. This has been literally a multi-year project of mine and I’m so so so so so happy and excited to finally see it come to fruition. Hope to see you there!!!
