This time on 14tracks:

“14 tracks for the dejected dancefloor”

The fallout of 70s punk and disco has irrevocably contaminated the musical food chain. The radiation of those cataclysmic few years split into a spectrum of styles, from EBM and Industrial to electro and goth pop, all tainted with a taste for the night and driving, darker sonics. Maybe it's the cold attitude, maybe it's the DIY efficiency, or maybe it just sounds f**king good, but either way, bands such as My Disco, Gold Blood and Factory Floor have absorbed that aesthetic to make addictively good music, regardless of time or place. This selection is inspired by that dark hinterzone of the early-mid '80s, tearing through Villa Nah's emotive discowave throb and the skinny guitars of Blank Dogs, utilising the potent post punk intentions of Joy Division, Suicide and TG in order to find some grain of darker pop truth. Along with vintage rarities from Chris & Cosey and Ike Yard, this is a collection tailor-made for the moody modern discogoth inside you.

Do you guys ever wake up in the middle of the night and realise that you actually just wrote the description "Darkside reduction blurring the lines between goth, cold wave and hipster-courting glo-fi tendencies."?

Glo-fi? GLO-FI?!
I love you Boomkat, but by god you make me laugh.
