Cold waves also has a killer lineup this year!
Wolfgirl Winter
WHAT. YES! WE COULD
Wolfgirl Winter
I don't know anybody who would be playing, but. we can look into it!
Axe Goth Real?
Oh well shit.

I’m at the grocery store right now but I can help when I get back.
Wolfgirl Winter

Okay so we know Boy Harsher but for anyone at home playing along who doesn't:
Boy Harsher "Motion" (official)

ADULT. are a band that does very high energy electronic, have kind of pivoted to that "mutant EBM" sound that is dominating American club scene:
ADULT. - "Our Bodies Weren't Wrong" (Official Video)
ADULT. - "Fools (We Are...)" (Official Video)
ADULT. - "Why Always Why" (Official Video)

Psyche are a classic synthpop project, with their first album in 1985. IT's a sound that stands out these days for being kind of throwback but is it throwback if you've been doing it for 35 years? Canadian Soft Cell would be a good quick summary.
Psyche - Broken Heart (Official Video)
Psyche - Uncivilized (Official Video)
Psyche - Youth Of Tomorrow (Official Video)

The best way I can describe Phase Fatale to you is "residency at the Berghain." If you want to know what the tastemakers for dark club sounds are listening to it's this guy's DJ sets.

Riki is one of those LA Dais Records acts that are kind of emblematic of that half of the label's sound. I once heard someone describe her derisively as "Goth Selena" without getting how glowing of an endorsement that is. Also very aesthetically horny music videos.
Riki - "Napoleon" (Official Video)
Riki - "Florence & Selena" (Official Video)
Riki - "Marigold" (Official Video)

Void Vision is one of the minimal synth pioneers in North America and if there was justice in this world they would be enjoying the same level of success Boy Harsher is. A lot of modern acts owe their sounds to them; tell me Sour isn't basically a Kanga track.
VOID VISION - Body Says
Void Vision - The Source (Official Video)
Void Vision - Sour
Wolfgirl Winter
ooooh thanks

yeah give me a second I need to feed my stray cats, they are outside the door yelling at me, and I will get back to this.
Wolfgirl Winter
i mean i am also taking this as general music recs lmao

oh love it

Soft Crash is Phase Fatale and Pablo Bozzi's project that technically makes it a 2 man supergroup. It's got a lot more of Bozzi's sound that definitely shaped so much of the Synthwave/Outrun scene to it.

i guess we're probably going to this, tara!

Plack Blague, in contention for horniest musical act in Chicago. Music by leather daddies for... well actually everyone. Grimy and funky, highly recommended.
Plack Blague - Wear Your Body Out (Official Video)
Plack Blague - Placktuality (Official Video)
Plack Blague - Joie de Blague (Visualizer)

I have a hard time describing Blu Anxxiety. All I can tell you is you will love or hate them, nobody ever seems to be kind of eh on them for very long.
Blu Anxxiety, Internet Terrorist
Blu Anxxiety- Black Mass Romance
Blu Anxxiety - Cats Eye and Corpse (music video)
Blu Anxxiety - I Haunt Myself (music video)

If you like Lingua Ignota but felt like that anger needed to be more directed somewhere, look no further than the fucking amazing project that is HIDE.
HIDE - "Do Not Bow Down" (Official Video)
HIDE - "Raw Dream" (Official Video)
HIDE - "FUCKED (I FOUND HEAVEN)" (Official Video)

Sacred Skin have no albums out yet, just singles. That is because this LA duo exist, as far as I can tell, to create insert/montage/credits songs for cult classic 80's movies that don't exist in our reality.
Sacred Skin - No Surprise
Sacred Skin - Far Away
Sacred Skin - Eyes Closed - Radio Edit

Choke Chain is classic hard EBM industrial in a way that would feel quaint if the homie wasn't so committed to the aesthetic. Good dude, good project, give him some love.

I think this is the Andi in question, minimal synth project on the wonderful Aufnahme+Wiedergabe label out of Germany. Will cop to not being as familiar with them.

Pixel Grip is the other band in contention for horniest musical project out of Chicago. Thankfully they're best friends with Plack Blague. ALPHAPUSSY was basically the song of the summer in goth clubs last year.

Retcon... I legitimately don't know. You'll have to go and tell me about them.

Visceral Anatomy, high energy EBM in the same vein as Youth Code, one of the acts on the up and coming Oraculo Records. Someone watch!
