MIXTAPE EPISODE: Synthpop & Darkwave

This episode we're breaking out the black eyeliner and razorblades once again for a dark evening of strobe lights, clove cigarettes, and goth-tinged electronics with a special playlist curated by Sienbenfaust—a longtime listener who knows a thing or two about the darker side of synthpop, EBM, and alt-rock. There’s also a traditional Irish folk song by Patty Gurdy…but I think Sienbenfaust threw that in merely to win me over by appealing to my Celt heritage and love of redheads.
