Episode 217: 2/26/2023

Half Machine Lip Moves logo with ‘#217’ on it.

This episode was our celebration of International EBM Day! We started with some new tracks. Then we played a block of early EBM. The third block was a set of vintage ’80s EBM songs. We followed that with a block of New Beat tracks. The fifth block was a set of ’90s EBM, and we closed the show with a set of hard and stompy EBM tracks.
